I'm not sure that it wasn't a subtle 'dig', or a trade-war negotiating tactic (?).... He probably should have worded it better, in any case...
But are you one of those that gets angry when Trump calls 'COVID-19' the 'Chinese-Wuhan Virus'?... Or did you get mad when Trump (back at the end of December 2019) banned travel from China to the U.S.?... I detect a streak of gainsaying/naysaying... There's no way Trump supports communism/socialism -- but Biden/Harris, on the other hand, well....
