Trump and Pompeo have changed their story concerning the origin of the Covid-19 virus.
During a White House event on Thursday, Trump said, without providing specifics, he had a “high degree of confidence” the virus came from a lab in Wuhan. When asked by a reporter: "Have you seen anything at this point that gives you a high degree of confidence that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was the origin of this virus?"
"Yes, I have. Yes, I have," said the president. There was no mention of an accident. Trump was clearly implying China was at fault, and, with the absence of an accident scenario, China did it on purpose.
Now to hear Trump and Secretary of State Michael Pompeo tell it, the evidence is clear: The novel coronavirus that has killed more than a quarter million people worldwide likely escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
We still have not heard any evidence these two say they have, and how can they blame China for a mistake?
It should be noted that under Trump's leadership, the U.S. has one-third of world's total cases and almost one-third of the total deaths. It is no wonder he wants to blame China.
