    Show me where China attempted to blame 'you.' You can't you know. No-one has blamed 'you' for it. Many have rightly condemned and even mocked Trump's appalling mismanagement of it.

    I never said they tried to blame me, that is your straw man. They tried to blame us, as in the United States, which is what I said. Trump has managed this very well, saving many lives with his travel bans that the democrats claimed were racist lol. Were they in charge, things would have been worse.

    Hell, weeks after Trump did the travel ban that saved many lives by buying us much needed time...Pelosi was encouraging people to gather in large crowds in Chinatown lmao.

    Moolk.....I said this this:

    Do you see the quotation marks around the word you? That is code for the 'USA.' Show me where any Chinese person has tried to blame the USA for the creation of this nasty.

    It's always politically easy to say that if the other mob were in charge, it would be worse because the other mob are not in charge, so ....... we will never know.

    Finally, Trump's glorious, tremendous, incredible 'travel ban' has been debunked here many times. People are still arriving in the USA from China, right now.

    You framed it as if I was claiming “me”.

    And before I answer, are you genuinely in the dark about china blaming the US for the coronavirus?

    It’s easy to know because democrats wouldn’t have enacted a travel ban with china as quickly as Trump did. We know this because they criticized it claiming it was racist. Doing that, Trump saved many lives by buying us much time.

    So travel restriction then, either way that bought us much time according to Dr Fauci which undoubtedly saved many lives and would have certainly not be done by democrats which...would NOT have saved many lives. It’s easy to know Trump is performing better than dems would.

    Here is where you have allowed yourself to be misled. I am an Aussie, in Australia. Hence, the 'you.' There are quite a few people here who are not in the USA.

    No, I am not in the dark at all. Unless I have missed something, no-one, including anyone from or in China has blamed the USA for the nasty. So, you assert they have. I am calling you to prove that claim.

    Bought time? Well, Trump was 'playing fiddle,' saying it will go away, people are going to work, just one death, heat in April etc etc etc etc (how many videos on the matter would you like to see where you will observe Trump downplaying it all) ~ while the USA 'burned.'

    I have listed on my account where I am from, so when I say us, it should have been very clear.

    Then you clearly are in the dark. As it has been reported by every major news organization that Chinese officials are attempting to blame the US and its soldiers for the virus. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/13/world/asia/coronavirus-china-conspiracy-theory.html

    He was attempting to prevent the spread of panic, while taking action to slow the spread of it which again...bought us much time and saved many lives. Something democrats would not have done which is why its so easy to know he is doing better than they would have.

    "Every major news" source? And all you have is a conspiracy theory piece by ONE opinion writer, quoting one alleged real person. Nah. Think I'll exit stage left for the moment.

    Try this then. https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/13/asia/china-coronavirus-us-lijian-zhao-intl-hnk/index.html

    I simply linked one, not all of them because i am human with a finite amount of time. But assuming you aren’t trolling and you genuinely are just misinformed...well there is another. They tried to blame the US.

    I don't care where it came from. To me, it's the Chinese Corona Virus because China could have gotten a head start on it but chose to try and hide it and shut the doctor down. Screw that government.

    You reply to my posts, so apparently you do. Your double standards were questioned, you refused to defend or explain them, so that leaves us to form our own opinion based on your lack of responses. Based on your responses, can you guess what someone's opinion just might be? In the legal world, when someone refuses to respond, what inference is made?

    The bottom line is your double standards and hypocrisy are glaring and painfully obvious. How long are you going to continue this line of thought before your realize your mistake? I certainly hope it doesn't take as long as it did with the Smollett case where you saw a racist crime and refused to back down. You even came up with outlandish theories based on nothing more than your desires and wishes of desperately wanting it to be a racist crime.

    Please tell us why you think this Jussie Smollett is relevant to the discussion of the Coronavirus. Perhaps you think this virus is a hoax as well.

    And we're not Trumpies or Trumpettes, we're Trump supporters. Have you ever defended us from those names, or just lying communist dictatorships?

    None adverse can be made. Lack of response never equals concession.

    Cute. Have you ever complained when someone is referred to as a 'never Trumper?' No, you have not and it's a fair gamble that you have used that very expression.

    I believe that I coined the phrase Trumpette and I see no reason to defend you from the name or the Trumpies name.

    Does the phrase white supremacy cause a stigma in your mind?

    And the left also used the expression china virus and Wuhan virus. So why the double standards?

    Noting that it is inappropriate to call the virus by the name "Chinese Virus" is not a defense of China, it is an effort to protect Asians and China from racially based attacks and an unjustified stigma.

    From what I have seen, no he has not. He doesn’t care about violence as long as its directed towards those he dislikes. Or so it would seem.

    No. There are definitely white supremacists who very much embrace that phrase.

    Being called a Trumpette results in violence against Trump Supporters is your theory?

    I'll sleep just fine despite you thinking I should defend Trump Supporters from the names Trumpettes and Trumpies if I am willing to say that calling covid-19 the chinese virus is inappropriate and based in racism.

    That was not what I asked you, but you know that. I have made my point.
