Peter Navarro, one of President Donald Trump's top economic advisers, excoriated China's response to the coronavirus outbreak Sunday, accusing the country of hiding the virus from the world and subsequently taking down the American economy.
Navarro stopped short of claiming that it was the Chinese's intention to harm the American economy, but did accuse the country of being unable to contain the outbreak and of misleading other nations about its severity.
"I did not say they deliberately did it, but their China virus -- let's go over the facts here, correct me if I'm wrong -- the virus was spawned in Wuhan Province, patient zero was in November. The Chinese, behind the shield of the World Health Organization for two months, hid the virus from the world, and then sent hundreds of thousands of Chinese on aircraft to Milan, New York and around the world to seed that," Navarro claimed, without offering evidence such travel was directed by the Chinese government.
"They could have kept it in Wuhan, instead, it became a pandemic," he continued. "So that's why I say the Chinese did that to Americans and they are responsible now."

(12,712 posts)We are just heading for a Trumpruptcy. It was in the cards, one way or another, this term or the next.
The bankruptcy President would just end up ruining the economy because he knows how it works and is trying to apply it to a country.
The problem is that he can easily grift, crony and do nepotism, but he can't really launder the money this time and use the businesses as a front, not caring about them as much. His only prize is to get the power and declare himself a despot for life. There's money in fire sales, too and his BFF Vlad can help in the carpetbagging at the end. Sweet deal.
