....he was talking about CNN et al coverage of the COVID when the reporter asked him a “when did you stop beating your wife” style question of whether he thinks the infection is a hoax. Trump immediately said, “yes” meaning that yes, he thinks CNN is politicizing the event to hurt Trump (which is true) while the media pounced on it to claim he thinks the COVID event is a hoax.
Trump cut off all flights to China in January to prevent the infections spread under much criticism for racism from the Left. He obviously didn’t think it was a hoax.
