FILE - In this April 29, 2020, file photo Secretary of State Mike Pompeo speaks at a news conference at the State Department in Washington. Chinese leaders “intentionally concealed the severity” of the pandemic from the world in early January, according to a 4-page, Department of Homeland Security report dated May 1 and obtained by The Associated Press.
WASHINGTON — U.S. officials believe China covered up the extent of the coronavirus outbreak — and how contagious the disease is — to stock up on medical supplies needed to respond to it, intelligence documents show. The sharper rhetoric against China coincides with administration critics saying the government’s response to the virus was inadequate and slow. President Donald Trump’s political opponents have accused the president and his administration of lashing out at China, a geopolitical foe but critical U.S. trade partner, in an attempt to deflect criticism at home.
The report also says China held off informing the World Health Organization that the coronavirus “was a contagion” for much of January so it could order medical supplies from abroad — and that its imports of face masks and surgical gowns and gloves increased sharply.
StellaNews8 👎. The devil
I made a video about this for anyone interested:
NewCultureForum
paulmcclintock Why did you post a pic of Pompeo? That indicates the report is total CYA bullshit. GOPCorruptionOverCountry
Can we shoot them?
And to gear up production to meet worldwide demand for critical supplies to fight the Pandemic .
Infact, I wud say china FOOLED the entire world by openly testing a bio weapon. They have d largest database of all Pre & Post Covid-19 scenarios. their defence researchers r studying the details which will later b used to draw plans for an actual use in case they r threatened.
eightynines You mean they did what Trump has been doing since January?
So y’all just joining the party?
What was your intelligence agency doing?
No doubt
FIXED: A new U.S. intelligence analysis obtained by the AP says US leaders “intentionally concealed the severity” of the coronavirus pandemic in order to stock up on critical medical supplies needed to fight it. Covid19 Coronavirus BREAKING
ScottJenningsKY Does anyone actually believe this?
DavidBrodyCBN MORE DOCKTOR’S are coming forward about the FAKE PLAGUE. Kaiser Hospital is EMPTY. They sent all the Doctors Home. SaCRIMEnto, CALIFORNIA EMT not working ether GUN SHOT WOUNDS are DEEMED “the PLAGUE ~ O’KEEFE May 4, 2020
But, isn’t that why we have spies, investigators, the CDC and a host of other agencies.
blameChina because they didn't do our job for US? seriously?
LisaMarieBoothe The AP once again “breaking” the obvious. 🙄
Like how some of y'all still manage to get angry at Trump for this
Trump called it a hoax himself!
Triumph and a Kushner were hiding supplies!
mgnayak5 I thought it was our Ap AparBharat 😂
Tell that to SpeakerPelosi ...she’s blocking further work on this to pursue a THIRD attempt at impeachment. When is the media going to start reporting more objectively
RepTedBudd And our DoNothingDemocrats support China over Americans.
world should make china pay a heavy for this.....china should suffer economic impact of this.
Imagine that
And 2 fools took it hook line and sinker realDonaldTrump SecPompeo
Didn't need that analysis. Kinda figured when the doctors sounding alarms got visited by police.
Aren’t they, like the main producers of the supplies though?
Please blame others when the fight with this virus is over. You need to concentrate on your people now... 🤦🏼♀️
Bro, let's all just carpet bomb China for 6 weeks nonstop to teach them a lesson.
Hahahahahaha That's exactly what the US did🤣😂 They must think we're all idiots.
First created the global virus crisis, and then hoarded the global medical supplies, China this kind of malicious operation has brought double harm to the world😩
😴😴😴 oh pls..... they f-ed the world
The world needs to remember - the paid press in the US and Europe will try to make everyone forget.
Problem: US health professionals knew of the severity and tried to warn political leaders
Did we not send them some stuff? Is the administration admitting they were played or that they were incompetent?
You don’t need a weak theory like “stocking up” to explain bureaucracy. We call it “optimism”, the first stage of SNAFU. How would being slow increase the inventory of masks and doctors?
well no shit
Any aggression the U.S. tries will doom any chance at an economic recovery this decade. The financial markets are really worried about this.
MAGAts don’t believe the intelligence analysis when it comes to Russia or tRump illegalities, but they’ll believe this xenophobic slant. Because MAGAts.
This is the only explanation. They bought all the good supplies, and sell the defective supplies back to the world at unreasonably high price. WHO must also be part of it by helping with the cover-up
Obviously
So FOX News was right all along? They have reported this for over a month.
EWErickson Oh now pompeo believes the intelligence? Why didn’t trump believe the intelligence in January and start stockpiling medical PPE TESTS? Because he’s incompetent
Trump fired US expert embedded in China's CDC in July & never replaced her. The 1 person who could've independently confirmed cases Disbanded US pandemic response team in 2018 January he called COVID-19 Democratic Hoax Nothing but excuses UnfitForOffice GOPBetrayedAmerica
Deb_s1984 Interesting the number of anti Trump bots that jump on. They would rather destroy Trump than the virus.
Yeah, now do Trump.
ACT OF WAR.
So did they ever find out why US leaders concealed the severity? So they can do their trades before everyone?
LisaMarieBoothe Don't trust the Chinese.
margbrennan Yup.. Real hard to believe the realDonaldTrump Administration got hoodwinked on this one 🤣
NOTHUNG FROM CHINA SHOULD ENTER INTO THE USA. NOTHING AND NO ONE.
archiecarterrr
noahsarkcrypto Hmmm interesting.. so that’s where you guys got the idea!!
EWErickson So AP y’all are not supporting Chinese propaganda no more
EWErickson Shut the front door!!! No way!
LisaMarieBoothe No surprise. The Chinese are not our friends.
Nuke China
It would be news if they are not doing it Time to BoycottChina
LisaMarieBoothe Or they knew that SARS_COV_2 was not a killer virus, but allowed the whole world to panic. Now it's nearly impossible for any government to tell its people we have ruined our self because China fooled us. They must fulfill the prophecy!
valentine_fa Nice try AP. This has zero to do with Trumps’s abysmally awful failure to respond.
So did Trump
morten Horseshit. Pompeo lies to please trump. This is just more lies from the failed and illegitimate trump administration. TrumpLiesAmericansDie pompeolies
The DHS report cited import/export of January. But the shocking Wuhan lockdown started on Jan 23? Are the Chinese to be condemned for importing more medical equipments after the lockdown of 60 million to protect its own people? It’s lies after lies. WMD after WMD. War after war.
Not surprised.
MarthaSugalski China lied. People died.
Wow the orange man bad is epic here.
LisaMarieBoothe The IC leaks everything.
The report is from a trump controlled agency - trump lies, they lie.
Recognize Taiwan!
I don't trust any report coming from this administration.
Now let’s be fair and have proper Congressional oversight hearings with administration officials.
China virus.
LisaMarieBoothe Quit telling lies !
morten You mean exactly what Trump did & continues to do? (Only he's stealing PPE from our own states & medical institutions, stockpiling for his own selfish/corrupt reasons!) We expected better of America and instead we got the worst of it. TRUMPisTheCOUP
Evil CCP should definitely be held accountable! They should apologize and compensate to all countries affected!
cop ChinaLiedAndPeopleDied
Boycott China 🇨🇳 Its time to move to a different cheap Labour Country & only Trump can achieve that 💪💪💪💪
The CIA must never again trust the Chinese Communist Party. What were they thinking?
JasonMillerinDC The Chinese Communist Party cannot be trusted.
Total lie, China locked down 11mn people in Wuhan and 60mn people in Hubei, the actions speak loudly by itself, how can you call it ''conceal''?
shorts1020 Sounds very probable
And then Trump and Pompeo sent them more.
And we have video of Pompeo personally supervising the shipment of 17 tons of equipment to China in February. What did they know and when did they know it? Prosecute every last one of them
The Chinese Communist Party has made a fatal error of judgement and now they will pay the highest price. ChinaLiedAndPeopleDied
migmonteve
migmonteve But of course ...
3 weeks ago someone called be a conspiracy nut for saying this very same thing. I'm sure other ppl thought of this as well.
Sort of like the tRUMP did as the feds stole state supplies? Yeah ... Sort of like that.
You used the word 'fight'.....i think you meant to say 'sell'
This cant be real china would never lie about anything
And..? This still doesn't explain why our President didn't do s--t for months... Sorry, Cons.
China has to pay or it will happen again.
JoeConchaTV No s% Sherlock
katerobinson925 First mover advantage?
How is this all familiar.
Doesn't make any sense - if the Chinese government was hogging, the increase in import of masks won't be only 278%. Context: China increased its capacity of surgical masks from 12 million/day to over 100 million/day over 2 months after the outbreak.
This is not new news. This is weeks old. China is our enemy.
If only all the victims who died from Covid_19 (all quarter of a million of them) had Khashoggi as their surnames, maybe Western media would blame Chinese Government officials a bit, the way they attacked the Saudi government, whose 5 now-detained officials murdered 1 person.
lauzi_garrison Lool, let's go and trust the war mongering US intelligence system with Trump on top of it. As in the one that got us into trouble in 2001 and 2003. Does anyone remember Iraq these days and what got us into it or what?! Why is everyone so blithely accepting what pops out of the
AndyKaruza You didn't learn anything? It does not matter! Stop the blaming game & move forward! The only thing that matters is for us, Americans, to have the foresight to be prepared for the worse! That's it! Still no vaccine! Get ready for the next wave so we don't have shortage, again!
RaheemKassam Oh yes. And the Chinese government must have been laughing fit to burst when by 9th Feb Canada had sent 16 tonnes of PPE to them, only to run short later.
Then what's the next step coz all seems to be going out of control
Tell me again TheAtlantic and CNN about how well the CCP handled Covid-19
BozenaFox Don’t U think it’s about damn time that all Americans on both sides of the aisle get behind Prez Trump’s efforts 2 balance R China trade & get critical manufacturing back in this country regardless of cost. My God his instincts were amazing, he’s been trying 2 do this all along🇺🇸
And this, of course, absconds the Trump Administration from all responsibility for the deaths of almost 70000 Americans.
Definitely selfish, but that’s only covering PPE. And they simultaneously failed to curb travel outside of China at this time for what reason?
jcrew756 I’ve been saying this for 5 weeks. China wiped out the shelves of thousands of hospital supply vendors internationally. Selling them to other nations at a profit! Some have been tampered with just like their tests. In WA, they used 300 covid + tests of 12,000.
No... they’d never...
jcrew756 No more Chinese shit. It’s up to the consumers of the world to send them a message.
Let's talk about the $50+ million that tRUmp owes China, personally. Odd that he has so much trash to talk about them now that a payment is coming due.
Really you mean the Chinese thought of themselves over the rest of the World. Hoarded vital supplies needed by other countries only to make a profit selling off the unused at 1000 times more then paid. Maybe we should be looking for made PRC next time we shop and place them back
Obviously, USA intelligence knew that China was concealing it. However, knowing it since January 2020, the time was enough for their government to act and save lives.
The blame game is NEVER helpful...
Then how did the rest of the world seem to know enough to take this more seriously back as far as even November 2019? Then very seriously in January? How is it America was some how left out of that intel? -They we're not.
Nobody believes Pompeo or Trump anymore
You mean 3M the American company with its outsource manufacturing in China made millions ?
adamtreusch Smart move.
Headlines don't quote the following 'There is no public evidence to suggest it was an intentional plot to buy up the world’s medical supplies...' American's grappling at straws, to deflect their incompetence. China informed US CDC on 3rd January!! How much notice do you need?
esaagar Manufacturing consent for yet another cold war. How dumb are Americans to fall for this shit again and again?
And CCP didn't do it to preserve Chinese lives➡️it did it to protect the Chinese economy or, more specifically, CCP's money
SRGUO 愚蠢的家伙，明明知道是传染病，缺不让市民带口罩和隔离，现在已经超过100万，最大的责任就是特朗普政府，还把责任推卸给中国，真的是无耻至极。
Yes maybe and trump happily sold the USA Reserve medical supplies on the sly to them!
What would you have done?Keep looking for Saddam mass destruction weapons?!?
Gave in to the Trumpmafia, huh, AP?
While I believe that both the US and China govt's have made mistakes in tackling COVID19, the difference is that the US (all members of the community included) has some ability to reflect on its mistakes while China only covers up its own mistakes and needs to 'be reflected on'.
China screwed up big time. They really thought at this stage in age, they could get away with murders. XiJinping is the mastermind behind this WuhanVirus saga. Recruited 3rd grade liar DrTedros to help cover-ups. A plot gone south. And ChinaHasToPay for all deaths.
Ya Don't Say?! 🙄
Color me surprised
paulhansen64 There is no medication to fight it.
Jesus Christ people need to get back to work. I had no idea that so many intelligence officers and members of the main stream media linger in the comments section. None of these dipshits know WTF they’re talking about and keep spouting the same talking points. Try drugs!!
The time was when they need to quickly eliminate their own problem... Unless they intended to kill people in other countries or rip off from the pandemic in the very beginning, what's wrong in stocking up medical supplies to help their own epidemic? PoliticallyIncorrect
LisaMarieBoothe So let's stop blaming Trump and start pointing our fingers at China.
finfan74 And Pompeo/trump sent 18 TONS of medical supplies to CHINA ON FEB 07!!! While our own hospitals were begging for tests,PPR’s & ventilators!! 🤬🤬🤬
Send them the bill. All of it...
I don't think someone engineered this virus. But it seems like China made sure that this disease spread to other countries to ensure that they are not the only country affected economically.
Nth_Dimensions This is my shocked face
Didn’t the Trump administration intentionally concealed the severity, too..................?
LisaMarieBoothe OF OURSE VACCINE NEXT WHICH THEY WORKRD ON BEFORE ..
And the Trump administration compared it to flu....on live tv...
Cool, still doesn't explain why our response was so terrible.
Play down the virus severity in order to stock up on ppe? Are they logically connected? When trump played down the virus threat, he did not stock up on ppe. Are you saying that CCP is smarter than trump?
If true that's horrible and there should be severe consequences. That doesn't mean Trump didn't fumble the crisis. We could of had a better outcome had the administration United us instead of pointing fingers. Pathetic
Trump sent our PPE to China and is now stealing from the States. Where are they going I wonder? Who does Trump work for exactly?
Impossible. Man doesn’t need to be that bad.
I believe that is called survival.
LisaMarieBoothe F..* China. STOP buying their junk. Spend a little more and buy USA.
China let 500,000 Wuhan Residents BOARD PLANES!!!! Wuhan Residents started dying all over The World. On Cruise Ships. In small Italian Villages. In Big Cities.... That’s all you kept hearing about. Almost as if planned
LisaMarieBoothe China produces over 60 % of medical supplies so why did the go on the open market and buy up more before this virus dropped
Obviously
I don’t get it. Intel now: “China hid the severity of the virus so that they could stock up on medical equip” State Department in late Jan: “We are donating literally tons of medical equipment to China because they are being ravaged by a deadly virus” Which one is right?
Give us hard evidence, otherwise you are just bullshitting, we all know China lied, but without evidence , it proves nothing
PaulZeise RWhy does that surprise someone
We all know China concealed the virus there...it’s what they do! We saw them lock up the Dr. ...What we want to know is why did Trump ignore any warnings here? Why no actions? Why do 80-100,000 need to die?
It’s disturbing but there has been evidence that the CCP has cell around the world buying up billions worth of PPE. Italy even donated some to China for Wuhan and then China sold them back what they had given to China. Evil
didn’t our administration minimize and conceal information about Coronavirus also? it’s going away. It’ll be gone...
Wow, actually reporting news? Has hell froze over?
Our government intentionally ignored 2 memos of Navarro’s which outlined the horror coming our way and what needed to be done about it…
IBelieveTaraReade
Pompeo is a liar. He can't be trusted on anything.
And Trump intentionally concealed it because why? The stock market? His dementia?
LisaMarieBoothe Not surprising when China went around the world buying protection ,& medical supplies from other CountrIes. China is NOT to be trusted. It is time to bring back manufacturing to the United States and get the heck out of China. Our security depends on it!
So what do we do about this?
So did Trump.
Evidence is journalism? Is it. Lmao
Lmao, usa intelligence? Hahhah where is the evidence. So claims are intelligence these days.
Why is everyone so surprise? they stopped domestic flights and they allowed into internationals flights they should be held accountable.
A Human Being’s FIRST instinct is SELF PRESERVATION. That’s a pagee directly from Trump’s playbook. I guarantee that realDonaldTrump would have prepared the USA first before warning the planet.
GranTorinoDSA BS
LisaMarieBoothe Nothing to see here folks.
CHSommers And the surprising part is...?
China needs to be held accountable for this terrible mess we are in
WHO statement ........24th January
What's today's date? If this station posts online from NewYork , how is it 5-4-2020 already? Did I miss something?
the same intelligence who found WMD in iraq? the US is trying everything they can to shift blame for their failure to handle the crisis to china.
LisaMarieBoothe Punishment?
Well shit I could've told you that back in January.
LisaMarieBoothe I forever will hate the Chinese ? Aka dog butcher torturing dogs America?
LisaMarieBoothe A little late to the game. Old news
This couldn’t be true. I’d be suspect you were fed that to present damaging info about China. Ask yourself why when China manufacturers all of those things themselves, they couldn’t just have their own factories make . They built large hosp in a wk. They could buildfactories
Looks like laowhy86 was right!
Breaking? Really they didn't know how bad in November? They warned Israel. Just because POTUS45 didn't believe them so they now claim it wasn't that bad. . wait. Then it was but it wasn't. If all these idiots covering Trump's stupidity would just behonestaboutcovid19
What's that supposed to be,some kind of sick joke?
Who cares if they didn’t fool anyone. And WTF have we been doing for the four months since?
margbrennan And China manufactures all those supplies. All they did was stop shipping them. That only hurt the McConnells. The they retaliate against Trump for being............... Trump. Americans paid a very heavy price. Putin is very satisfied with 2016 election.
Trump's friends lied? No way!
Oh is that right!! If they were hoarding supplies why did the US send them TONs of PPE’s
Sounds familiar. But the stockpile in US was sold for profit instead of being used here.
Export infection back to china
And FEMA stole supplies from one state to give to another. This is different how?
HeyTammyBruce They took our supply, instead of asking for help. That's evil.
I think that soon the Secretary of State will say that the extinction of dinosaurs is also related to China. After all, you all know that the Chinese eat everything.
Can we really deny, given the footage from Wuhan during the early days, that if anything the rest of the world should have been extremely fearful of the virus?
Sounds like something Trump and his gang of merry cheaters would have done. Anyone remember the stocks that were dumped before all of this became public.
KevinBu7822 So I guess you could say, they put China first. But when we try to put America first, we’re racist.
No shit, Sherlock.
Wow! Unbelievable.
China is bad
I hear your 'what about Trump', and I raise you a 'is Trump president of the Italy, the UK, France and Spain?' Cause, they have over 100,000 deaths combine, even though they have a much smaller total population (243mil) than the US. ( 327mil).
BS
And Mr. Trump sent a plane load of PPE to China. (the country he loves to hate) WTH.
Why is trump covering up the severity?
No kidding.
What?! No way?! fucktheCCP
peterjhasson Those f...ers need to pay dearly for this. In effect they conducted war on the world and killed over 1 million people.
That's a very generous assessment. It was a lot more sinister. They were afraid for their reputation and economy.
China is evil
Boycott Wallmart. Is boycotting CHINA.
Duh
Anything but believe in reality.
No surprises there!
Shocking
No shit
Sounds like Trump took lessons from China. Trump waited 70 days trying to figure out how to make money off the pandemic before doing anything.
Why is anyone surprised by this? Despite Frump’s love of dictators, China is not an ally. This is why we intelligence analysts. Did they miss the signs completely? Or did Frump and his band of Idiots ignore warnings?
Everybody knows this.
Which is it? The flu? Or the Chinese?
Your telling me that the intelligence community had to have China officially spell it out? Anyone watching the news knew it was going to be this bad. This is just making up excuses and pointing fingers. We were warned years ago, and it’s why Pres Obama had the pandemic task force
Our backward country can’t make masks and swabs. We sure have fallen from grace.
Trump also concealed the severity back in February, but unlike the Chinese he had no plan. He was banking on it just magically going away and was concealing the severity in a feeble attempt to guard his reelection prospects. What an idiot. We're near 68000 dead now.
Nationalism! Sounds like something Trump would do
Biggest bunch of liars, that is Trump!
Cite your facts and sources, please.
No shit. Really?
This is a lie and the report is entirely false.
Trump knew that's why he sent 18 tons of medical supplies to Wuhan, Feb. 7th. Peter Navarro sent the White House a memo January 29th, predicting the death of 543,000 Americans. The first Covid death in U.S. was Feb. 29th. 1 WHOLE MONTH! Where was Trump? Holding rallies & golfing.
And to the rest of all ignorants in the USA. The USA, even to help Europe in the 1. W.W, ignored scientists and specialists and sent soldiers to Europe even they were sick of what later was called The Spanish Flu. It killed between 50 to 100 millions of people's around the world
Holy fuck half these comments make me wanna die.
Wouldnt of mattered our goverment was also denying that it was a problem so they didnt even want to stock up on supplies. glasshouses
FuckChina. It is an oppressive regime and that is a surprise to NO ONE except Trumpers who were super impressed by Trump’s “big beautiful cake” comment in 2016. PresidentJi is a murderous thug. Ask the Million Muslim-Chinese locked in ConcentrationCamps FuckChina
joker101Iloveit No shit Sherlock
U.S. intelligence
realDonaldTrump gave them 18 tons of ppe's
Hard to blame a country for defending itself but I agree they should have been more forthcoming. If only we'd had someone on site to inform us....
Trump sent them a major portion of our stockpile early on. I don’t think we could have had a worse leader to handle this crisis
Is this the same intelligence agency that said Saddam had WMDs?
Why didn't the West believe Taiwan or Hong Kong?
Very interesting.. Is this a reporter seeking REAL facts ? Thanks for sharing. Keep it up 👍.
This is funny. China hide to hoard supplies. US was warned many times but did nothing. States even had to source their own supplies. At least the Chinese government acted to protect their people. Can’t say much for the US government. Poor Americans. Always the last in line.
Well President sent them millions of supplies and said what a good job Xi was doing in January and February. And we signed trade deal January 15, if memory is correct.
Good time to manipulate the public mind toward an external enemy.
THIS GUY IS DOUBLE TALKING, ONE MINUTE HE SAIDS THE INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES SAID THEY BELIEVE THE COVID19 WAS MADE IN CHINA AND THE REPORTER ASKED WHAT HE THINKSAND HE SAIDS HE DOESN'T BELIEVE IT WAS MADE THERE
So what. There a communist country having massive tariffs against them since trump took power. What do you think they would do for there people. The only difference is trump was told and was to stupid to stock up for his people. Oh. Americans are dying every 40 seconds. FYI.
No kidding
Borislav011 Jebite se vise !!
Sour grapes. Still doesn’t explain how we failed to contain the virus and put so many Americans needlessly at risk. Stop blaming China. Where are our supplies? China has 85,000 cases of Covid-19. Xi probably had enough supplies in his basement. Get real.
JoeConchaTV True. Chinese living in European countries bought up all the supplies and shipped them to China. In January hospitals were experiencing mask shortages already.
Not shocked. We will deal with them soon enough.
At least they lied about it to help get their country what it needed to fight the virus. Rather than lie to help Trump's reelection bid.
RaheemKassam More likely they did not want to be embarrassed, or blamed for it! Well That worked!
So....same thing we did....
Okay!
CCP is evil and must be defeated. NikkiHaley DanCrenshawTX KurtSchlichter SenTomCotton
I’m not liking this at all, please show the report including who wrote it & most important, who requested it.
US Intelligence an oxymoron?
So they fucked the USA
FOOL_NELSON *SHOCKER* Do better ! Most of us already know this! It’s not “BREAKING” by any means of the word!! 😒
NotAbouThatBase This is more bullshit
Cc: SpeakerPelosi
StephenLawson_ This is not news. The EpochTimes reported this with documentation over three weeks ago.
Yea so Like we would do anything different? Trump is still trying to downplay and distract everything concerning the vir6
FOOL_NELSON Why is it the same folks that believe China also believe in Russian collusion
Trump Administration warmed Israel in November but failed to protect Americans from COVID-19. 60,000+ people have died and over a million people infected. Trump is a joke.
Obviously, CCP was doing business and letting people traveling around the world as usual, when it blocked the internal borders within Wuhan
We should put China in timeout.
BoscoWo42122490 Of course they did! The whole world's masks were bought up and sent to China in January!
007cigarjoe Yeah, we knew that
fake news
DiploWriter Of course they did. It was obvious already.
Sure.
And democRATS/corrupt media continue to support them
emarvelous Wow, sounds exactly like what realDonaldTrump did.
Old news. We’ve all known that (except you, apparently) for months.
Sounds like something Trump would do. Oh that’s right he just steals/confiscates them from the States he is suppose to represent.
Just like Trump did
A war with China is suicide.
“All I maintain is that on this earth there are pestilences and there are victims, and it's up to us, so far as possible, not to join forces with the pestilences.” —Albert Camus
China lied? Big shocker!!!! Sue_China
Downplay the severity and stockpile PPE... sounds familiar. Where have I seen that strategy? 🤔
PaulZeise Does this include toilet paper?
So Pompeo leaks his propaganda to the AP, which duly prints it. Cool that we’re replaying the worst hits of the Bush administration all over again.
Blame shifting. Trump had Intel reports that he chose to ignore. News break:. We
1e p
Gearing up to justify war.. The best way for America make money and boost the economy
The USA did the same... but skipped the stocking up part
Need to quit doing busy with the China
It’s just an intentional homicide to global mankind! CCP, tgr w WHO must be held accountable for their misdeeds amid this WuhanVirus pandemic! Coverup & manoeuvring of info. in origin, transmission & no., brought out global PPE, outspread lies & propaganda of conspiracies..
All Government's conceal the truth when they screw up!!!
Pompeo projecting again.
Ted Cruz is gaslighting when he claims that China didn't aggressively quarantine. You should point out that the US hasn't quarantined nearly as aggressively as China.
esaagar This falls into the category of: NO SHIT.
Is it US president ask his citizen to use desinfectant/bleach..to fight covid.That showed the level of President...Dont blame others
Trump cuts any program that doesn't make the country money. On the filp, he even lets oil drilling occur in national parks. That's like canceling your insurance and gym membership so you save money (even tho you get fat and sick), but hey! Look at that savings! Must be a genius!
No surprises, but that’s a totalitarian gov’t for you
Can the press now be as aggressive investigating China as they are with anything Trump does?
This isnt news ChinaLiedAndPeopleDied
Are you awake now AP?
Damn. Who woulda thought
See how the coverage compares against other news outlets on Ground News Coronavirus Politics Americas Beijing WashingtonDC
Trump is just pissed he didn’t come up with the hoarding idea first...
“Breaking”
Do not believe this story. This is the Trump Administration continuing to shift the blame off themselves for not doing the right thing and being honest and aggressive in the beginning. Bye Felicia
HeyTammyBruce Is it true that the Chinese filed a patent for Remdesivir back in January? While allegedly they were still allowing people from China to leave China. Trumps travel ban saved lives.
... “intentionally concealed the severity” .... So did the Trump Administration
be communist not be communist Lol I've never even believed in communism anyway, it doesnt make any sense.
RaheemKassam Then China ordered WHO and CDCgov to downplay the virus.
Although I thoroughly trust the news service, who diligently reports the news, I no longer trust the information coming from our whitehouse and its staff.
Fxxking lie, China lied at the beginning just because they didn't want panic and underestimated its danger
Obviously. U dont need to this as breakimg news.
JoeConchaTV Disgusting. ChinaLiedPeopleDied
An intelligence analysis intentionally ' leaked' to AP to conceal the gross incompetence of the US government.
The communists love the fact they own the liberals who will sympathize with China becaue of their hate for Donald Trump. .I am sure it will not be long before the left says it was the cia who planted the virus in wuhan.
Well I guess if the U.S. government said so!
Maybe we should go back to making our own shit then.
If nothing else, fits China's character profile to a T.
Us coronavirus
Lying and hoarding? Sounds like Trump. I'm any event, this doesn't matter. Our intelligence warned Trump months ago that Covid-19 was coming. Trump did nothing.
Duh
🙄 that analysis is worth little & does not excuse Trump for his negligence
kfdinews Our US Intelligence never picked up of all of this stockpiling of supplies? 🤔
If true, that’s enough to make them a pariah I’m the world. Myopically stupid.
Coming into possession of an intelligence report sounds like espionage to me.
And Trump still gave them millions of those supplies
CHSommers Is this really news? I thought we'd had reports of Chinese nationals doing that in several countries back in February and March?
Who cares!! How about spending your time and resources trying to save lives
RaheemKassam And of course, Trump believed everything they told him
Trump hid it and denied it. So many lives lost because of him
Seems like Trump shouldn’t have sent 17 tons of medical supplies to China then.
Ok
Trump ignored it for 70 DAYS!!! 70 DAYS!!
No shit? Glad ya caught up to everyone else on this subject
stlCupofJoe If this isn’t enough of a reason to quit investing in business in China I don’t know what is! Bring it back!
Pure Evil.
JasonMillerinDC I believe AP is once again becoming a reputable news agency!
If only US intelligence had warned the president. Oh, wait.
How about a rewrite? Breaking: A new propaganda document (provided to the AP by agents of the administration) projects the administration's own minimize-and-hoard practice onto China.
SomeTipsForLife Trump removed staff from China in November. They could've been aware of this much sooner. Does not make Chinese actions right, but Trump as leader of free world also added to this pandemic.
And if this same scenario in America, we’d do the same thing.
Welcome to like 6 weeks ago, AP
Now work on figuring out why the federal govt of the U.S., is hoarding supplies and not allowing governors, especially democratic governors access to them? Focus on the problems facing you, not on who to blame and for what. trump is just as culpable as the Chinese Govt.
They didn’t have to work so hard...Trump didn’t do much to get supplies even when the real severity was apparent. Their strategy was antiquated; they obviously assumed they were dealing with competent world leaders. I wish they were right.
CCPVirus19 ChinaLiedAndPeopleDied
CHINA IS NO ONES FRIEND! You're Either their Consumer or Their Enemy.
Sooo kinda like US leaders? TrumpVirus FakePresident IndictGOP
seriousserb Didn't we know this weeks ago?
I call BS. The Chinese did not need to do anything nefarious since the Trump admin knew as early as November that a novel virus was circulating and did nothing until March. It did not matter what the Chinese were saying. A novel virus is highly likely to cause a pandemic.
This has nothing to do with the lack of timely action from the Trump admin. I am guessing the Chinese could not beleive their luck that Trump admin did nothing for months to react to virus.
So why didn’t US stock up at first mention of a pandemic? Oh yeah - the WH Occupier said it was a Hoax Covididiot45 PompousPompeo
This is what happened in the US. trump did this. If China did this, what difference does it make if trump is not criticized for doing the same thing? trump sent our supplies away, knowing how badly we needed them. He has done everything he can to make sure the virus spreads.
Can we trust the report? Regardless, trump would have done the same thing.
Unlike the 🇺🇲 GOP Senate who intentionally concealed the severity of the 🦠 in order to complete their insider trading transactions. Yes 🇨🇳 is bad but GOP Senate is worse. 😠
I smell WMDs and GOP BS!
GiancarloSopo Where was WHO ... China’s Communist Party behavior is Stephen-King level of evil
ChineseEmbinUS China is directly responsible for the Corona Virus (COVID-19). They mishandled the virus and covered it up all while lieing to the world.
The U.S. CDC official that was actually in China before the pandemic.
Intel from news when the news is open and fair to the globe about secrets and where to obtain them?
They did it on purpose to get people off the streets of Hong Kong. Animals.
CHSommers As opposed to all the previous intelligence that said otherwise?
Question: would the U.S. government CDC officer placed there by Obama. Would this official have gotten wind to this cover up had they been left on the job?
We sent 18 tons to China in Feb. WHY
RaheemKassam Knew it.
Pretty much everyone knew this already.
Ok...next case...
Ok. And what's our Government's excuse? Rather spend time trying to blame China then stop the spread in the U.S.
SeanDurns you left out did so in collusion with the WHO
CHSommers You can’t have it both ways. If released intentionally from a laboratory China would already have the medical supplies to fight it. If accidentally escaped the lab how? If more likely a bat mutation in the wild, China would be suppressing information through fear of public panic.
Glad to see the media is still playing catch up even though we all figured this out weeks ago! If only journalists didn't spend weeks downplaying the virus and calling people racist for pointing out the obvious...
The president said it was a hoax perpetrated by the Democrats. Thanks to the Chinese, no one believed him.
We've known this for like a month
Trump also intentionally downplayed the severity to the American people for two months. Are we holding him accountable?
HeyTammyBruce Bought up, at reasonable prices, as many as they could find. When virus spread around the world, they sold them back at a profit. Also banned exports.
They make their own medical supplies morons, you can't tell a government not to react and save medical supplies so you can look like they are the bad ones, act with honor and respect, but this sounds like 1 more BS of the administration.
The IC didn’t bring up coronavirus until late January. If that were true you should fire them for incompetence but we know they did
But the WHO alert your government, you had plenty of time for you to get your medical supplies in order, trump said it was a hoax build by the Democrats.
Anyone really surprised? We need to DecouplefromChina
Stunner
Ok we get it already . China is the big bad enemy. Whatever takes the focus off our own blunders.
To be honest the USAs record in invading and appropriating other peoples land is pretty poor...
RaheemKassam China always does what it considers in its best interests - unlike US politicians. The blame being piled upon China is misplaced.
hangthebankers And we would never think of doing such a thing. We prefer to blow it up so far out of proportion Elon Musk has to chase it down in outer space.
CHSommers Not trying to take anything away from any of this, but everything anyone needed to know or see was on Twitter in early dec. Citizens on the front lines in wuhan posted tons of vid prior to it getting scrubbed and way before any news outlet in the US picked it up.
Shrewd move China. Checks out.
How does the AP obtain an intelligence analysis
HEADLINES SHOULD READ: TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TERMINATES DR. FAUCI FUNDING OF CORONAVIRUS BAT RESEARCH IN WUHAN CHINA THAT LED TO CURRENT PANDEMIC! Trump administration terminates funding of coronavirus bat research in China
Is every one there really so stupid who believes that super duper shit?
All of the leftist haters here, stating that America and Trump are worse. That’s how you win libs!
wouldn’t surprise me
PfaffSC Ok but who believe US intelligence anymore. Trump admin has turned it into a National Inquirer headline
trump and his cronies will do anything to try and shift the blame to anyone else. No matter where this virus came from, trump still failed to do anything about it.
doesn't matter. US knew about it and did nothing..red flag was up
If AG Pompey(o)had any credibility this would be interesting but still doesn’t take away from POTUS doing nothing for months
Old enough to rememeber someone high up in government saying that the 15 cases we had is going down to zero shortly. Hmm i just can't remember who...
So they said it was all going to go away by magic and then ordered extra body bags. Sounds familiar...
China unleashed a virus on its own population? I don't think so.
Bullshit, Intel is covering for Trump
And Trump wanted the vaccine all to himself, so...yeah
Shocking. NOT. Is there anyone who HAS told us the 100% truth since this whole thing began?
No shit. But American leaders do the same for.....politics?
Not only did Biden’s obtain millions from China but a new U.S. intelligence analysis obtained by the AP says Chinese leaders “intentionally concealed the severity” of the coronavirus pandemic in order to stock up on critical medical supplies
MelserWBAL Shocking...
tommyHotpockets And that is different from this administration?
So the question is what are we going to do about it. They owe us for the 60,000 lives they have claimed.
I dont believe shit the usa says, as far as i know usa sent that to china, just like usa gave blankets with smallpox to indians
Many of us paying attention since mid January knew exactly what was going on because we were paying attention. And we did not have 17 intelligence agencies that work for us. This is yet another blame game strategy to mask gross and negligent incompetence seldom seen in history.
I'll stay with the Bill Gates conspiracy theory.
Uh, duh
We can’t hold China accountable when the US govt-led by Trump did absolutely nothing to prepare for even an under-reported epidemic threat. Completely disingenuous.
US intelligence assurances us there were WMD I. Iraq too, when the president’s team wanted that finding.
A critical fact : Trump received IC reports as early as Nov. 2019 stating the coronavirus is serious pandemic. Trump GAVE our taxpayer Stockpiles of PPE to China & other Asian countries while calling COVID19 a HOAX. Now mikepompeo SenTedCruz disinform to cover Trumps ass
HeyTammyBruce What a shocker...
Oval office did the same thing.
Seeing people who are blaming anyone other than China for this is laughably pathetic
And realDonaldTrump sent 18 tons of PPE to China... 18! Meanwhile HCW’s in the USA are re-using masks and wearing trash bags.
If this is true then what. What do we do with this info? No effect on damage done here. Did US leaders act swiftly to protect the country from consequences of this virus?
And Trump sent them to them..... two boats full.
What? China lied? Shocking!
So, COVID19 is China Origin Virus Intentionally Distributed in 2019
Some people have been talking about it for sometime
😂
NEVER DEPEND ON A MONTHLY INCOME, EARN $3500 EVERY 72 HOURS WITHOUT STRESSING YOURSELF ASK ME HOW
45 had a chance to prepare regardless of what China did or didn’t do. Our intelligence informed him, but he chose to believe China.
Sadly, I believe very few things that come out of our government anymore, especially if it parallels anything trump says.
Ah yeah you can always trust “American intelligence” when it comes to what other countries are making or acquiring
This 'analysis' can be performed by reading contemporaneous news reports which show them lying in real time and jailing anyone who told the truth
The U.S. “Most Powerful Country” in the World! Should never have ALLOWED this to happen to us. The blame stops at this Administration.
Me waiting to see how soon before Trump supporters use this article to exonerate Trump of his own denials and mismanagement.
Everything that comes out of the White House about Covid-19 seems like a lie. I honesty can’t believe a word of it. These sisters all died from Covid in my town in Michigan. He didn’t protect them.
Watching the derangement syndrome folks rush to grasp those straws is always entertaining
South Korea didn’t get the memo apparently. They received same info, didn’t downplay, took actions early, and amazingly their economy is still open. 🤔
I also think US government didn’t take it seriously either!
Is that plausible though? Even as it became apparent how bad the virus really was, the rest of the world still didn't seem to care much nor purchase PPE...
HeyTammyBruce Terrible
HeyTammyBruce You needed a US intelligence analysts for this? I could have told you this in March!! Duh!!!
JonLemire That's 100% BS and theory of conspiracy against China in order to cover up their own incompetence in dealing with the virus.
China first. It's how we would play it. Tell me this president doesn't want to create a vaccine and then ensure only Americans or those that pay big get it.
Nice!!! But too slow!!!!
And they even got trump to send them tons of our own stock pile- they played him like a fiddle😡
You can’t believe a word these people say
While the US gov concealed the severity and didn’t stock up on supplies.
Again ... put documents out and will decide if this is true.
Shame we didn’t have an insider too warn of this. Oh wait...
Why no one trusts the media. accepts the lying Trump administration lies from Pompeo at face value. I wouldn't trust a weather report coming from Trump or Pompeo.
Now go back to Tara Reade, we already knew this!
This is a very stupid reason from high rank institution. What a 5 year old mind!
wdamidoinhere In a last 24 hours two chinese dogs N.korea and pakistan violated the ceasefire, to be noted as well ChinaLiedPeopleDied
RaheemKassam Reporting that AP has to really hurt.
Then why were we sending supplies to them after we knew
And USA governors and mayors are using it to seize power and destroy lives.
The AP could write the same story about the US while saving words by replacing China with the United States.
Why were Americans not in China to keep an eye on this? Trump pulled them out?
Shock! China lies.
Just now figuring it now huh Sherlock?
Trump would never do that.
whpresscorps Reported by OANN yesterday. Not an scoop.
Hiding in plain sight? Depleting Our stockpile...
wdamidoinhere china didn't kill all humans, they killed Humanity. ChinaLiedPeopleDied
U.S. officials believe China covered up the extent of the coronavirus outbreak — and how contagious the disease is — to stock up on medical supplies needed to respond to it, intelligence documents show.
Trump praised china in Jan and Feb though. So why look into blaming them now? Is it because trump and his admirers need someone to blame for their lack of response.
Once again, I'm not buying their bullshit.
Liars. The administration is trying to scapegoat China to cover its own shortcomings handling the coronavirus mess. They tried it on WHO ; the world didn’t buy it.
So quick question... what year did we start trusting China? We never trusted them, that’s why we had our Doctors and scientists in China monitoring them until Trump pulled them.
Who thought we should believe China in the first place? Consider the Source...Grain of Salt...Anything sound familiar?
This exposes Trump and his administration as incompetent and a failure to our country. Tens of thousands of Americans are dying our economy destroyed and he failed to protect our county.
So did trump.
Sounds like something trump would do.
China was importing medical supplies? From where? Which supplies? I thought they made them all to begin with.
Surprise surprise... that’s the two billion masks that chinese expats bought worldwide and shipped to China. ... before we knew we need them too...
China lied Americans died!
Fuck everyone else, lol But the UN will still back em jhust watch.
Is this why trump sent them our PPE?
The so-called 'Chinese 💰chambers of commerce' in Spain, have depleted all masks from pharmacies since mid-2020January and took them massive to China on commercial planes exclusively for this purpose .📸👇🏼 Chinese warehouses in Barcelona January ChinaVirus

Just like realDonaldTrump intentionally concealed the severity to save his own ass
In 👆🏼Barcelona, we did not have masks in pharmacies again until mid-April 2020 ChinaVirus. Chinese chambers of commerce installed in Spain exposed our protection against the pandemic who OMS chines bough all mask in our pharmacies 😔and take china , egoist!!!cupidité !!💰
Trump sent China PPE in January.
HeyTammyBruce The AP IS China. We already know this was a biological sneak attack on America by China to defeat Trump with the rest of the world as collateral damage.
And America sent PPE to China on 2/7
Which U.S Intelligence Agency and headed by who? I am at the point where I am questioning EVERYTHING coming out of this sham government. They lie (Barr), misrepresent facts (McConnell, Pompeo) and they are scrambling to find ways to prop up a leader who is incompetent
Bull sht FailureInChief
stlCupofJoe Surprising absolutely no one.
Trump believed China, even praised their handling of covid19, and sent them PPE. Trump is so easily duped.
SWEPT UNDER THE RUG: Trump Administration sent 18 tons of PPE and other supplies to China in the early stages of covid-19 outbreak but waiting 2 damned months to do anything here, meanwhile 67k plus americans are now dead.
Maybe the U.S. will stop 'offshoring' its manufacturing to other countries & start performing that critical work here.
Ok let say china did that ...so focus on this Virus here first and save the american people from dying !! Then go after China cuz rightnow it looks just like DIVERSION OR DEFLECATION tactics for the President not to be BLAMED!! And we all know Trump is good like that
That’s war crime.what r u guys going to about it ?
Excuses are a sign of weakness! SecPompeo
What’s wrong with u? Report the fake news which looks reasonable and confuse readers!The communist government is not elect by Chinese! Chinese are slaves to the communist higher ups! Will u care about if ur slaves die or not?
Truth or Pompeo’s spin?
Bruh, we don't care. What is our government doing now? Fucking up, that's what.
That’s an act of war
I'm not surprised. (Tump also intentionally concealed the severity of it, simply because he was afraid it would make him look bad. Americans died.)
Then why did Trump send China 18 tons of medical Gloves, masks etc in early Feb? That action left America’s Medical Professionals without stuff to keep them safe. Why would anyone vote for Trump when he shows us everyday he doesn’t give a shit about US citizens.
shocked by nobody but the Trump administration
KİLLER CHİNA!!
That doesn’t make sense unless they were buying up and stock piling them
I think we're going to find out much worse things about Trump and Co.
And Trump still botched his response
China is asshoe
Seriously.... we’re just now confirming this? Seemed pretty obvious in mid Feb the Chinese not only released the virus onto humanity but were actively lying and covering everything up. I mean, they blamed the US and Italy for the virus. We need better intell people and reporters!
Trying real hard to ShiftTheBlame. Same narrative over and over.
You mean like Trump tried to hide the facts about C-19 to “keep the numbers down?” Yes, China hid a lot more than they should have, but don’t try to make it an excuse for our own failures. Hiding bad news is what nations do, and Trump is a master at it.
But the Administration knew what they were doing and still did nothing. And how will they react other than bitch
So they did exactly what the US would do?
Lies！Higher ups of the communist party don’t care whether the citizens are dead or not! Otherwise they wouldn’t muzzle doctor Li Wenliang! Why still help the devils to coverup and lie to the world? Cuz u hired the CCP as ur journalists?U know there is karma right?
No way they would do that, just ask JoeBiden he made millions off of them
BREAKING: An analysis of public sentiment says American leaders “intentionally concealed the severity” of the coronavirus pandemic for no apparent reason other than their ineptitude. trumpcovidfails
So why did you swallow their Lemon Chicken knowing full well it wasn't made with real lemons SecPompeo ? No sh*t sherlock they're lying. You're supposed to act on our OWN intelligence. realDonaldTrump dropped the ball on HIS watch. Don't wait for Xi Jinping to hand out cookies.
esaagar Breaking? This was reported two days ago. Try to keep up, will you?
JeffersonObama That’s exactly what tRUmp and Kushner did.
Meanwhile the US is seriously considering reopening in the midst of it. Hypocrisy knows no bounds.
So what? Who cares at this point? Petty administration. JoeBiden needs to be a better leader than trump
What did the WHITE HOUSE do after knowing it’s severity- mocked it as a hoax, claiming it was under control. Now that it is out of control let’s try and find a culprit. What are you doing about it now? NOTHING
Ok but how do we know that is not just propaganda. We can’t trust the anything with Trump as president.
kfdinews Nothing that comes out of The White House is believable.
Well it looks like the genius was out played again... Hey GOP we done yet? You still want a guy who doesn't read the PDB? Hey Maga is it worth owning the libs to watch every country out maneuver this political genius? How much will constantly being out played cost?
Sounds like someone that would buy ALL toilet paper at store only to sell it later for $100/roll !
Americans and intelligence never go together... Anyone who believes this nonsense is worse than they are because they know its nonsense to hide their own incompetence...
WAR
Isn’t the intelligence people supposed to know this is happening before or during when it’s happening... Not waiting 2 months later then to the blame game because you didn’t do your job
Ok, this may corroborate what intelligence agencies reported numerous times in January/February. So, the question still remains why is it Trump did nothing about pandemic and only praised China repeatedly? TrumpLiesPeopleDie
Trump has been doing exactly the same thing. (but he takes no responsibility).
Hmm, couple problems with that so-called analysis — China produces over half of the world’s PPE; Chinese factories were all closed weeks before CNY; China ramped up production of diff med supplies 2-400% for the world since Feb.
HeyTammyBruce Fair to say no one is surprised
where are the tests?
It didn't matter because Trump didn't believe we needed anything to protect ourselves in January, especially February.
Your nose is so brown.
Is this the same intelligence agency that told us about weapons of mass destruc. cheering people in Baghdad immment death North Korean leader? Oh ok then how could this not be true? It’s not like Barr has a political agenda! Being attorney general is apolitical position right.
Same applies in the US but not because they were looking to stockpile equipment or anything useful like that…
Trumping up for next USA elections , blame anybody or anyone for everything , Yawn and boring
Not buying it! You can't believe a fu'*king word any of these crooks in this admin say! Just like chicken little, you keep lying and nobody believes you when you accidentally tell the truth!🐓🐔🐣
Manufactured evidence, to support Trump’s failed response. ThinTheBase
Stop promoting these Trump/Barr lies🇺🇸
The Chinese also stopped travel from Wuhan to other Chinese areas but continue letting them travel from Wuhan to other countries. They allowed them to spread the decease to other countries while stopping it within their own.

calstokesey97 Good old AP .....you need to be Einstein to recognise that !
Veracity is the problem with realDonaldTrump's administration. You can't trust a word he says or a leak he authorized.
Does anyone believe this convent analysis?
Not surprising. So, why did the Trump adminstration intentionally conceal the severity of the coronavirus pandemic? TrumpVirus VeryImpeachableGenius unhinged MAGA

The same US intelligence who warned us about Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction? 👀🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Whatever. Trump helped them. Why. trump still acts like COVID 19 is a great surprise. Why? He wants US dead.
BROKEN: U.S. Intelligence warned of the danger back then and Trump ignored it.
And now Trump is doing the same thing.
Kinda like what the trump administration did?
The sky is blue and grass and green We known
And as always one need this disclaimer whenever LyingPompeo says something.
I’m sure they did but picturing this obese man who is also a prolific liar is confusing.
We’re not the boss of them.
The coward, trump, won’t do anything. All of his and ivanka’s clothing are made there using stolen designs.
Does anyone even believe this shit anymore. I wouldn't trust Pompeo if he told me 2+2=4.
ELINTNews the only noteworthy part of this news 'U.S. intelligence analysis'.

JonLemire So just like the US government?
As if anyone on earth, other than moronic Trump supporters, believes - without further confirmation - what unnamed 'US officials' conclude. Officials of the US government are no more trustworthy, and no less likely to misinform, than are their Chinese counterparts.
NO SHIT
Isn't China the country that MANUFACTURES most of the world's supply of PPE?
Hmmm. Maybe our intelligence agencies should have been monitoring such things. Given that they are aware other countries don’t always tell the truth and that a pandemic is a very real threat.
We sent them supplies!
sethjlevy Almost like this plan has long since been put together? 🤔 even an idiot that takes seriously can see that much
What a
Breaking: US citizens point out their own President did the same thing.
I wouldn't accept a single word of Trump's 'intelligence' analysis (now there's an oxymoron) if they yelled 'fire' and I smelled smoke.
Also BREAKING: Donald Trump 'intentionally concealed the severity' of the coronavirus pandemic in order to feed his narcissism.
That has nothing to do with how poorly Trump has handled this and continues to handle it. That's always his excuse for everything: somebody else is just as bad as I am. We're tired of hearing that.
Hey AP rhanks for reporting the shit we have known for months. Breaking my ass.
Bull! That clown 45 didn’t care, it was a hoax....remember
HeyTammyBruce To what purpose is this train of viruses leaking out year after year? Concealment wasn't just about hoarding supply. It was potentially about destruction & death. This virus leaked, like all the recent killer viruses over the past decades. Why?
Wait. whatAboutIsm works? LockTHEMup trumpscure
Ok so did Trump, to improve his chances of re-election.
JonLemire So this bit of actual news makes the most sense. I am as much anti realDonaldTrump as I am anti-China. The truth is outing. Now onto 11/2020 elections to rid of us the Liar in Chief.
I hope you drop the hammer on China, realDonaldTrump! The pathetic WHO will forever regret this tweet....
Then why did Trump send China supplies? WTF?
Shocking. But will there be accountability?
ELINTNews IndoPac_Info
I’m surprised that a news source is reporting anything negative about China.
JonLemire And still we were warned of it end last Dec. by intel.
If lets say James comey came out and said this it would be fake
Wow, very bad news for Democrats!
JonLemire Ya don’t say...
ELINTNews China is directly responsible for the deaths of everyone who has died of this disease.Not only should they pay all the families who lost loved ones,they should pay reparations to every person,in every country,who has suffered financially. They have substantial Gold reserves.
Shocking! ..not
''intentionally concealed the severity' of the coronavirus pandemic' Gee, just like Trump & co. did for 70 days at the start of the year.
Meh... keep digging. This thing has been going on since summer 2019 or earlier.
So...China bought supplies for its outbreak? Am I missing the wrongdoing?
We were there. It was only a few months ago. Too soon to start rewriting history to meet your political needs. We know what happened and this ain’t it.
Woh! Surprised 😮
The USA would have done the exact same thing... Nothing to see here CARRY ON
Makes sense
Kinda knew this. Are they going to be held accountable? Is anyone going to be held accountable? Why am I asking this question? Silly me.
Sorry that is worry Trump is hiding the fact he knew in November
Wow...the world needs to seek reparations from China and the USA needs to pull its businesses out of there now!
So why did Trump conceal the severity? Was he just fooled and stupid or was it a result of his mental illness?
WHY would anyone believe Pompeo about ANYTHING? He constantly lies this kisses Trump's butt.
Can anybody anywhere in any country truthfully claim that they are not hiding the true statistics?
And tRump and his administration are so inept they fell for it. TrumpVirusCoverup TrumpVirus
No kidding? Is this breaking news ? A five year old could have figured that out months ago. But CHump said, they were doing a great job
SusanChubb1 Imho given that we received failed tests and ventilators that need to returned because after they were checked they found they could kill. Serious questions about quality assurance need to be asked.
This is horse shit. I follow epidemiologists and they saw it coming in early January. I had stocked up on food and planned for the financial impacts. This is shifting blame for political purposes. Our administration was too stupid to listen to experts.
Sneaky!
Orange man was right…
“intentionally concealed the severity”. And what was Trump's excuse...
Is this the same intelligence analysis that showed WMD in Iraq (thank you Chaney)? America looking for another enemy to go to war with to meet political ends? Take anything coming out of US with a 'lump' of salt.
🙄 Time to pull our manufacturers out of China and start making all products here. Made in the U.S.A. Let this be a lesson, a painful lesson.
Ask trump why he sent them supplies then.
KungFlu ChinaLiedPeopleDied
I call BS. realDonaldTrump sent China tons of ppe and medical equipment at the end of January. Are we to believe he did this because they didn’t need it?
Anyone with half a brain saw this coming from a mile away
NewCultureForum That's logical behaviour by the CCP, and has been suspected by many for several months?
That explains Trump’s gift of PPE.
This might be so true
Trump was right .
and this dope, realDonaldTrump, helped them out by sending tons of America’s supply over while downplaying the virus.
come on. you can do better than that. stop the lying.
But they can do that with any product they make... not just medical supplies..... this is pretty weak...
Wuhan’s virology institute had also applied for remdesivir’s patent back in Jan. Cc SecPompeo
And trump complemented them while holding rallies and golfing instead of worrying about America and Americans
‘Intentionally concealed the severity” who? China or White House?
we don't need an intelligence analysis to know this - it's china's MO since the 70's
Yep and I want to sell you my half of the Brooklyn Bridge...!!
US has no inteligence... wants to blame someone for the Trump's shit.
k
Faytuks
How is this any different than realDonaldTrump has done here in the United States?
Not breaking: Casting blame, even if it's true, doesn't excuse the lack of action, lack of leadership, and mixed messages coming out of the oval office.
Sky_Lee_1 We knew this already.
'Shit talk', China makes most of the PPE's for the world.
