If Trump blamed America, the left would blame China.
We are at the point now, that the left hates the right, and especially Trump himself, with such vigor, that they will literally wish disaster onto the country and themselves, if it meant bad news for Trump and the right. They have literally become psychopathic.
Trump defended China until March. If you were correct, then 'the left' would have been spending that time blaming China.
But of course 'the left' didn't do that.
It must be weird to have to go from supporting Trump as he defended and applauded China to supporting Trump as he blames China- all for the same pandemic. Do you guys practice yoga to bend your positions into these moral pretzals?
Trump ran on being anti-China, he has worked to tear up past economic agreements with China, and put America FIRST. Which of course to the left is racist, nationalist, xenophobic, blah blah blah, and blah...………………..
Except of course for the facts.
a) He hasn't torn up any 'past agreements with China' and
b) He repeatedly defended and applauded China- until he realized he needed a scapegoat
Hmmm the one who seemed to have an alliance with China is your Dear Leader.....until he realized that he needed a scapegoat.
Glad to remind of his defending China- just this year:
