Even as the president goes back and forth, his campaign, amplified by conservative groups and Trump allies, have gone after China over the coronavirus

First, China was handling the coronavirus outbreak “really well.” Then, China was to blame for letting the “Chinese virus” spread. Now, China has “very much stepped up” its purchases of American goods amid a “difficult time.

“America is under attack — not just by an invisible virus, but by the Chinese,” the Trump campaign wrote in a recent email.“He’s being strategic,” said an outside adviser. “China is a clear foe. He builds them up to tear them down. The criticism plays zero role.” But the Trump administration more broadly has not let up on its blame-China message. The State Department on Wednesday

Ryan Hass, the Obama-era National Security Council’s director for China, Taiwan and Mongolia, said Trump’s references to China are “often driven by political expediency.” But once Trump was sworn into office in 2017, he began to speak fondly about Xi, his “good friend,” describing their relationship as “extraordinary.”Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and national security adviser Robert O’Brien are both hawkish voices, focused on the threat the country poses.

WTF? The media has been along him a racist for blaming China for weeks. More like the media can't decide which narrative makes trump look worse so they're running with both. Seriously how did the media get this bad?

How about taking blame himself?! HE does not have the capacity...

Your publication is divisive trash. Wait for this to be over to tear our country apart EnemyOfThePeople

Blaming China for the pandemic is disgraceful. Trump should be ashamed. Unfortunately Trump has no shame.

Trump repeatedly praised China, and he even tweeted praise for its “transparency” on Jan. 24: “China has been working very hard … In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!”

Just blame it on a Pangolin and be done with it.

You spoke to trump about this? I didn’t think so.

China just closed its borders where is our media’s reaction to this racist behavior

I’m not as indecisive. I CAN blame trump for a terrible response to the crisis.

Trump can go after China all he wants. America will go after Trump. He has made this situation the worst case scenario all on his own. COVID

As he should. This was a Chinese export no one in the world wanted.

Focus on the virus not politics

He screwed up BIGLY, gotta find someone/something to distract from Criminal Mismanagement . If not for certain state governors more people would be in jeopardy . Every avoidable death is on the idiot . Wasted 60 +fu*king days , & doing jacksh*t now .

Because that’s how useless conservatives are.

House members introduce resolution to pin coronavirus blame on ChinaThe resolution has prompted criticism from lawmakers who argued it could put Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in harm's way by perpetuating the racist association of the virus with Chinese people. Is it true Wang was patient zero back in November of 2014? Is it racist to tell the dispute. For instance, the Mafia does come from Italy; Ireland was neutral in the war against Nazism in WWII; France had a pro-Nazi gov't in So. France in WWII; Israel was pro-Apartheid; some blacks in Africa sold other blacks, etc. Major pile of horseshit being spewed by political correct imbeciles that sufficiently ignorant voters managed to place in office. Get over it. Get a grip. Perhaps we should modify history by removing reference to German Measles, the Spanish Flu, the Hong Kong Flu. Get a grip!
