Trump Says China May Be 'Knowingly Responsible' for Virus

President Donald Trump raised the prospect that China deliberately caused the Covid-19 outbreak that’s killed over 39,000 Americans and said there should be consequences if the country is found to be “knowingly responsible.”

Dr. Deborah Birx, a member of the White House coronavirus task force, said Sunday that the first country exposed to a pandemic has a “moral obligation” to be transparent in its response.

“Let’s see what happens with their investigation. But we’re doing investigations also,” Trump said at a White House news conference on Saturday. “If it was a mistake, a mistake is a mistake. But if they were knowingly responsible, yeah, then there should be consequences.”

Vice President Mike Pence said Sunday that the U.S. would “make proper inquiries into this at the proper time.”

Maybe but we can say with no doubt Trump is willfully ignorant.

It was a promotional stunt by Disney Studios for new movie and it got out of hand because the company they hired misunderstood that it was supposed to be pretend, but they went out of their way to get the real thing. So, blame the Mouse.

At least, that's what people are telling me.

That dolt!
