Facts are that Trump is guilty of exactly these things and much more. Also, he knows absolutely nothing about covid. This virus was never containable. You can't contain a virus that is infective while completely invisible for up to 4 weeks. It was going to leave China no matter what they did, it would have been far far worse if it started in USA.

Zero_Destroyer 04/15/20 6:58:42 AM #12:	No. China will likely step in and increase their funding and influence on the WHO, further isolating the US and giving ground to the Chinese. Not shocking, given Trump's history, since his entire presidency has been ceding influence to the Chinese government by removing the US as an obstacle.
