Exactly. What Trumpers don't understand is that the only reasons Trump mentions China are to shift the blame and to appeal to his racist rabid fan base. He thinks of it as an insurance policy where if the pandemic escalates, at least he can say "I take no responsibility". Even if China had malicious intent, a far fetched notion, it is irrelevant at this point as far as doing what is in our national interest, which is of course to combat the virus.
Correct, because he knows the low info cult just needs someone to tell them which race to blame/hate each time they face a problem and who is better at it than trump?

Of course he did and they have no reported cases. He treat allies like enemies and enemies like allies.
