"For Trump’s early adopters, the issue of the coronavirus was a perfect fit. “If you were an early Trump adopter, then this China coronavirus is a vindication of everything you’ve said,” says Cernovich. “Like, hey, supply chains are a problem. Let’s bring back massive manufacturing. Everything we’ve been screaming about, warning about, for five years is right there.” If your preoccupations have been over manufacturing capacity, border control, or globalism, then coronavirus hits on all three at once. “I think the people who understood the Party of Davos cynicism, and about Chinese factories and all that, were early to understand that this was going to be a massive issue,” says Bannon, who began devoting his podcast, War Room, to the coronavirus already in late January."


Hmmmm.... Bannon knew by late January.
