Trump pushing hard to rebrand it as the "Chinese Virus": https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1239685852093169664?s=21

This'll end well.

Fucking hell.

American Incompetence has killed more people than a Chinese Virus.

First are brave British dinosaurs, now the nasty Chinese virus. Nationalism really is the stupidest thing on the face of the earth.

Split this off into a new thread; definitely a lot to discuss regards this buffoon and the Coronavirus.

There's been some chat in the trump thread but yeah, lots to discuss.

A new world is emerging from this crisis.

Serbian President: "European solidarity does not exist. That was a fairy tale. The only country that can help us in this hard situation is the People's Republic of China. For the rest of them, thanks for nothing."

From Serbia with love.

Let's have a racist fight whilst humanity, not Americans, not the Chinese, everyone, suffers? 

The man's an idiot throwback.  Useless.

[Ferris]

It's certainly a nadir. I don't think Fox News and co will go with him on this.

Notice the Russian bot top in both replies there presumably trying to steal people's cryptocurrency. They've also seemingly hacked an 800-follower abandoned account with a blue checkmark - a Teeside reporter - to make it look legitimate.

[jobotic]

More bullshit that the others are having to correct now.

[Pearly-Dewdrops Drops]

Right-wing talk radio and similar outlets have already been explicitly arguing for weeks now that this is a Chinese biological warfare agent deliberately released to hurt Trump's presidency and the U.S. economy. Probably millions of Americans who believe that.

British people I know who I didn't previously think were batshit apparently believe this.

[Gulftastic]

Currently lying his arse off in a presser. It's the fault of the media and the Chinese because they didn't tell anyone. Except he knew in January. Or didn't. Who the fuck knows these days.

[Pearly-Dewdrops Drops]

the Chinese because they didn't tell anyone.

Yes, I've been seeing this a lot from right-wingers too. They are furious that the Chinese government instituted a miraculous response to contain it, and that the American government by comparison is an incompetent fuckmess.

Trump isn't going to survive shit so it's going to be really funny watching him try to avoid public appearances and claiming things are under control

He's gone full mental again.

Trump announces that the US is halting funding to the WHO
Funding will be cut off to the World Health Organization while the US conducts a "review" investigation, Trump said.

"Today I'm instructing my administration to stop funding of the WHO while a review is conducted to assess the WHO's role in severely mismanaging and covering up the spread of the Coronavirus," the president said.

The WHO has become a frequent scapegoat recently. Today he said the organization has "problems the likes of which no one can believe."

Waiting for reparations from Chjna. Then Chjna can ask for reparations from the Japanese, English and maybe even the Mongols.

He's gone full mental again.

His rebrand died a death so was wondering what his next move would be.

This seems like he's onto a loser but who knows with this cretin

[Dewt]

He's falling apart. He stood up yesterday and said something along the lines of "actually the role of POTUS is a fascist one and I cannot be overruled".

"When somebody's president of the United States, the authority is total, and that's the way it's gotta be."

[Alberon]

I've got to hand it to the cunt in chief. Throughout his entire presidency I've repeatedly thought he'd hit rock bottom only for Trump to reveal a whole new subterranean level of cuntery.

This has to be it this time. Surely?
