He egged on people who don't wear masks and believe in conspiracy theories. Even after China has already basically recovered from the virus, we're still over here with our thumbs up our asses not knowing what to do. But yeah... That's all china's fault. If it started somewhere else we'd have totally been on top of it.

My point about the virus "originating" in America was to point out that idiocy of suggesting that nobody would blame America even if we "contained" it after it made its way out into the world. AKA the China playbook. My point had nothing to do with Trump or America's response to the virus after China already **** the bed.
