“Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus. You know that, right? Coronavirus. They’re politicizing it. We did one of the great jobs, you say, “How’s President Trump doing?” They go, “Oh, nothing, nothing.” They have no clue, they don’t have any clue. They can’t even count their votes in Iowa, they can’t even count. No, they can’t. They can’t count their votes. One of my people came up to me and said, “Mr President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia.” That didn’t work out too well. They couldn’t do it. They tried the impeachment hoax. That was on a perfect conversation. They tried anything, they tried it over and over, they’ve been doing it since you got in. It’s all turning, they lost. It’s all turning, think of it, think of it. And this (Coronavirus) is their new hoax.”

Trump was in error here. The Coronavirus was not a hoax, though Trump was certainly right when he said the Democrats were politicizing the Wuhan Virus. Both can be true. It can be true that Trump thought the Wuhan virus was a hoax as pushed by his political enemies and it can be true that Trump’s political enemies politicized the Wuhan virus to seek to topple Trump via the virus and that by making of it more then it actually was. So, Trump failed by not taking the Wuhan virus seriously enough and his political enemies failed by seeking to panic the American people from coast to coast by over-exaggerating the virulence of the Wuhan virus.
And this is our political class right now. They are so interested in defeating one another that the American citizenry is caught in the middle of their utter foolishness. We are in the position we are in because the political class on both sides as well as the propaganda arm of the Democrats (the Major Media) were more interested in scoring political points off this pestilence than they were in arriving at a level headed solution that could have begun as early as January.
