Trump throws himself a pity party in evening Memorial Day outburst attacking Biden and China

BY VINNIE LONGOBARDO

PUBLISHED ON MAY 25, 2020

In a particularly efficient form of libel, Donald Trump slammed both his presumed Democratic opponent for the presidency, former Vice President Joe Biden, and his regular global bogeyman, China, together in one pair of accusatory afternoon tweets.




Trump continues to cite his supposedly early China flight ban as evidence that he moved quickly to stem the spread of the COVID-19 virus but forgets to mention that the move was both too late and poorly managed, allowing the pandemic to grow more quickly than if a thorough and competent federal response had been taken.

Particularly with the hindsight that the majority of cases in the hard-stricken New York area seem to have been imported by travelers from Europe, there’s not much to brag about in the actions banning travel from China.

Trump’s math skills are exposed to be as weak as his other cognitive functions when he claims that “Nobody in 50 years has been WEAKER on China” than his prospective opponent — since he fails to note that Republican President Richard Nixon opened the country to relations, and eventually trade, with the then-underdeveloped communist country only 48 years ago.
