At Friday’s coronavirus task force briefing, Trump claimed, that China has to have the highest death toll from COVID-19.
Now the data for US is above 180000.
So i bet the death of COVID-19 in China is more than 190000 now?

Clock

Yep

Highly unlikely I'd have thought, given the Chinese experience with SARS and the quality of leadership in the current US environment. Why would anyone even imagine that Trump is a source of factual information? The man is a fantasist who couldn't lie straight in bed if his life depended on it.

Yes, my take is that Trump makes a habit of lying even about the most mundane things, so why trust what he says about anything, especially something important?

Someone somewhere in the world lies, and so that gives Trump the right to lie all day every day?

How much of your humanity did you have to give up to become a Trump apologist? 'Cause it's kinda looking like all of it.

Trump trying to make a trade deal, yes you use favorable language when making deals. But that was BEFORE the virus outbreak.

You should be concerned with the chinese govt not only allowing, but intentionally spreading this virus, and the head of WHO for lying to cover for china.

But you just wallow in you TDS!

You obviously didn't read the article; Trump was praising China and its leaders for how they were handling the COVID outbreak.

Most of the quotes are from February when Trump was downplaying the threat of COVID. He's pretty much continued to do so up to now, but now thinks China bashing is good politics as compared to his prior strategy of kissing its, and its dictatorship 's, a**.

Your article is behind a pay wall. But here's what the Donald said on February 26th:

"“China is working very, very hard. I have spoken to President Xi, and they’re working very hard. And if you know anything about him, I think he’ll be in pretty good shape. They’re — they’ve had a rough patch, and I think right now they have it — it looks like they’re getting it under control more and more. They’re getting it more and more under control.”

So apparently Trump gullibly believed anything Xi Jinping told him.

Yup. I would say the Xi-Trump honeymoon is O-V-A over.
