Despite Trump’s dubious claims
The executive director of the World Health Organization reiterated that the group believes coronavirus came about naturally, despite Trump’s dubious claims that he has seen evidence it was created in a Chinese government lab.
“Dubious claims” is too polite. “Stupid reckless lies” is closer, but doesn’t capture all that’s wrong with his habit of making shit up and throwing it at people who irritate him.
Just yesterday, Trump claimed he had seen evidence that coronavirus was made in a lab in China’s Wuhan region, which saw the first outbreak of the virus. Asked what evidence he had seen, Trump said, “I can’t tell you that. I’m not allowed to tell you that.”
More lies.
The president’s comments came hours after the office of the director of national intelligence said in a statement that intelligence officials “concurs with the wide scientific consensus that the Covid-19 virus was not manmade or genetically modified”.
Naturally. He thinks he has every right to lie to us, and we have zero right to object or contradict.
Maybe Donnie was made in a lab in Queens, designed to be especially toxic?
“to object or contradict” I wish journalists would just all start laughing uproariously in front of Trump when he speaks so ridiculously.
Trump is desperately trying to find someone even MORE at fault for this disaster than he is. Obama? Dems? WHO? China?
“not allowed to tell you that.” Not allowed by whom? Who has the authority to tell the president (and especially this president) that he can’t tell things?
I believe that would be a Mr. V. Putin.
When has Trump ever been deterred from doing something by the mere fact that he isn’t allowed to do it?
I think what Trump means by it is “I get to know things you don’t get to know – they’re so secret we’re NOT ALLOWED to tell you them. That’s how important I am. You jellus? You impressset?”
His purpose in saying it however is not that; it is of course to conceal the fact that it’s a big fat lie.
