who has a PhD and is in every other way one of my favorite people, said to me today, "China has to pay."

I told him I think you're pushing a conspiracy theory i don't agree with. So he let it go basically but still came back to it and said China did not report it soon enough at the very least. which i think is true. for some of the same reasons trump downplayed it, refused to address it in a practical matter, and lied for the first 2 months after he did know about it.

he watches fox. it is clearly where he gets his news. again, a great guy, with an excellent education. he's smart. or maybe it would be more accurate to say he used to be smart.

fuck fox news. fuck trump.
