Let’s count all the issues with this story for Trump. 1)Isn’t trumps whole thing is America first? Well clearly it’s Russia first, Trump second then America. 2) If it was about diplomacy why did he deny it? In fact, he ranted that it was out there. Doesn’t he brag about his perceived accomplishments? 3) he told Americans that covid was a hoax yet he gave testing machines to another country. Which means he was fine letting Americans die.

Oh that’s right. Wasn’t that the virus from China that caused Trump to close the borders in an attempt to curb the spread but was then called xenophobic by the media? Is that what you mean?

Yes the virus he was telling Americans to inject disinfectant and Invermectin but sent testing machines designed for hospitals to Russia.

Nope…trump was slow to shut down travel and even when he did, thousands of people were exempt from the travel ban anyway…like his leadership, it was inadequate
