Trump Bill Signing

Yup for weeks Trump engaged in much the same downplaying that China did in the early weeks of the outbreak

And that most other countries have as well

He's in good company -- except not really

Did you have to translate that from Chinese or did they send it to you in English?

Trump doesn't tweet in Chinese as far as I know

Keeping the public as calm as you can is not the same thing as lying. Information coming out of China and W.H.O. fooled a lot of people, including many in Washington. Trump isn't lying, he's being given sneaky information by a country that hates him and us as a whole. China has been doing this type of thing for decades and people like you just feel like blaming the wrong people for some reason.

China threatening to withhold medical supplies. The democrats over the past several decades continuing to outsource pretty much everything to China, which include the medical supplies we need here. How deep are the pockets on the left?

But you keep blaming someone who has nothing to do with it. And I thought he was in ties with Russia and the Ukraine? Now it's China, too?

Actual footage of your argument

Actually, the point is that the media parroting pro-China messages to the detriment of this country is beyond unethical. Some of their scripts mirror almost word for word press statements put out by the Chinese Communist party. Just as all the networks refused to name the alleged whistleblower, now the word has gone out to toe the corporate (as in 'We need Chinese money' line. NBC was particularly disgusting the other day. After Trump ripped their correspondent during a press conference, on their broadcast that night they showed the exchange, then immediately afterwards had a tribute to one of their sound men who had died from Covid19. The implication being that "Here's Trump being mean to us when we're dying in the trenches to cover theses important stories". Except in their online story, they noted the man had other serious health issues that contributed to the death, not just the virus. That's a despicable manipulation of the news.

"After Trump ripped their correspondent during a press conference..."

Are you talking about this?

Alexander called Trump out for giving false hope regarding coronavirus treatments that hadn't been proven, and which his own medical expert Dr. Fauci confirmed wouldn't be available, if at all, for a long time

In response Trump threw a temper tantrum

Isn't this exactly what the media should be doing in a free society?

I don't particularly care what NBC aired afterwards.

This is one thing about Trump that so many just don't understand. His response to the question was the response millions were making at home. When Alexander put his hand against his chest with that fake "Who, Me?" look, no one at home bought it; and Trump didn't either. .The smug "When did you stop beating your wife" questions so prevalent at the pressers reveal the media for who they are, and Americans see it. People want information, they want those fireside chat moments, and the media need to put their personal bias aside for the sake of the country. I'm not holding my breath on that
