On his own ‘positive negative’ test result
Shaking things up a bit, Trump reported on 21 May that he “tested very positively” during his now-daily Covid-19 test. “In another sense, I tested positively toward negative, right? So no. I tested perfectly this morning, meaning I tested negative. But that's a way of saying it. Positively toward the negative.” Which is great, and very much not a waste of time, and clearly demonstrates that he’s taking this whole thing seriously.
…even though the Chinese government apparently had it under control in January
Asked on American television on 24 January whether he was worried about the virus, Trump replied, "No. Not at all. We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine."

@realDonaldTrumpChina has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!

To be fair Obaldie , the Chinese government lied about the Coronavirus to the world and is responsible for it's spread. Almost every country and the World Health Organization believed the lies they were spreading. Its unfortunate but almost everyone accepted the Chinese Governments disinformation campaign.
Trump is a clown but he's not an evil clown , that's the venue of the Chinese Government.
No..China built a 10,000 bed hospital in a week..everyone saw it being built..saying they lied is misinformation.So you try honesty instead of implying I am biased.
China lied to the world about the nature of the Coronavirus , this is well documented. They lied about how it was spread , and kicked out all foreign scientists and reporters to prevent any leaks, They STILL have not allowed any Scientists into their country to examine their situation.
You are not being honest.You have demonstrated on lichess forums that you are an ultra-right trump disciple.Goodbye.
Lol I am a Canadian , and I did not support Trump ( remember I called him a clown in my previous post ) I did point out the truth about China being responsible for the rapid and worldwide spread of the Coronavirus.
Please explain to me how China is not responsible in any way for the early spread of the Coronavirus , I am all ears.
Thank you
@Mopman for being honest about the virus.
Hard to find other chess players who can call it as it is.
@Mopman China is responsible for the spread in their country because they delayed action for seven days. Likewise, the US is responsible for most of the spread in their country because they delayed taking action for four weeks after becoming aware. Both countries had prepared for this type of outbreak, it is nothing new and fully expected, but when it came to the actual outbreak clearly blundered their response.
BTW, officials from the US CDC had been steadily removing their employees from China since Trump took office. Most were specifically there to assist China in surveillance related to viruses. Very unfortunate because they had a good track history of preventing outbreaks and were unencumbered by China's political process.
