Protect Our Care’s Coronavirus War Room is today releasing a new report on how President Donald Trump has sought to shift blame away from his response to the crisis to China, which differs wildly from what he was doing in January, February, and March, when he repeatedly praised China for their response to COVID-19, propped up their propaganda, and sent over valuable American supplies.

Paper Tiger: Trump’s Soft-On-China Approach Throughout The Coronavirus Crisis Directly Contradicts His Recent Anti-China Bluster

The report goes over key moments in Trump’s response to coronavirus and shows how he ignored the threat of a looming pandemic and misled the American people instead of listening to the experts sounding the alarm.

The report found that:

  • Trump praised China’s handling of the coronavirus crisis and his language mirrored Chinese state media propaganda.

  • Trump’s China travel ban did not stop travel from China or stop the spread of coronavirus in the United States.

  • In early February, Trump sent medical supplies and money to China, leaving Americans without necessary resources.

  • Trump’s botched handling of the China trade war hindered the United States’ response to coronavirus, putting burdensome tariffs on potentially life-saving medical supplies like PPE and hand sanitizer.
