That's a rather selective out-of-context view of Trump's statements about China. One partisanly selected phrase out of the greater whole of Trump's clearly stated views, misrepresented. Trump has repeatedly said the Chinese communist government have not been honest and open about what the true numbers were in China, or about when they knew this virus first existed and how contageous it is, and that their negligence allowed it to spread to the rest of the world.

Trump has repeatedly called the outbreak across many daily briefings "the Chinese virus", which your side labelled as "racist".
Trump in his daily briefing explained that it unmistakeably came from China and that he was offended by Chinese propaganda efforts to allege that U.S. soldiers brought and released it in China.
Trump has repeatedly across many daily briefings said that the Chinese official numbers of the cases and deaths in China were "very light" and not believable for a country over 4 times the population of the United States.

The ONLY reason Trump has expressed friendliness and appreciation of China is because we still desperately need China. We need their medical history and research of the virus. We need their researched possible remedies. We are hugely dependent on Chinese exported products to the U.S., particularly for food, for electronics and steel for our military defense and life-bloood computer technology. And especially for 80% of our medical supplies, and over 90% of our antibiotics.
You know that before your even post your vicious lies, and yet you front that lying narrative anyway.

6 months from now, the U.S. and Europe can be a lot more openly critical of China, and demand investigation of Covid-19's origins, and demand reparations for the preventable outbreak that China knowingly unleashed on the rest of the world. As Trump said a few days ago about blaming China, "Now is not the time." But that time is certainly coming.

Apparently our intelligence warned us in November about this potential threat. What was really happening as coronavirus spread here while Trump assured the country it was under control? China is wrong to suppress what it knew. It would also be wrong for our government to suppress what it knew. The gop can still continue to investigate Biden and whoever he picks for VP, but for the lives lost and money being spent this isn’t going to be allowed to just be covered up.


The Trump administration has roughly 2 hours of briefing and open questions from reporters every day. Trump is not hiding anything, and answers even the snottiest of questions from a Democrat-partisan liberal media that despises and deceitfully undermines him. There is no "cover-up", except as part of your lying narrative. You havent the slightest shred of evidence to back that up.
