Worries about rattled financial markets and their effect on the economy as well as the delicate negotiations with China over a trade deal — a key to Trump’s reelection — have played a large role in influencing the president’s friendly posture toward China over the deadly coronavirus, according to several senior White House and administration officials. Trump has heralded Xi’s leadership and “discipline” in responding to the outbreak.
“I had a long talk with President Xi — for the people in this room — two nights ago, and he feels very confident. He feels very confident. And he feels that, again, as I mentioned, by April or during the month of April, the heat, generally speaking, kills this kind of virus,” Trump told the nation’s governors last week. “So that would be a good thing. But we’re in great shape in our country.”
U.S. and international health experts have for weeks expressed concerns that China has not been fully transparent about the breadth of the outbreak and that it cracked down on doctors who tried to sound the alarm in December. U.S. officials still do not have the information they have repeatedly asked for from China, which some have argued warrants a tougher line from the United States.
Trump has repeatedly told advisers that pushing for a harder line against China could backfire because Xi controls the government “totally” and will not work with the United States if it says anything negative about the country, said one of these senior administration officials, who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the private talks.
Trump has remained uncharacteristically restrained in his public comments about the coronavirus, which has infected more than 70,000 people, the vast majority of whom are in China. Trump’s praise toward Xi has irked some advisers, who say the compliments are unwarranted as the United States is still working to get a team of experts access to data and Chinese sites to study the virus, aid in the response and secure all the needed information.
So to put this into perspective Donald Trump would literally let hundreds of Americans die so long as it ultimately helps with a trade deal that will then help him win reelection.
I cannot even begin to imagine who would be surprised by this.
The facial expression of President Xi says it all.This bastard president trump is a moron!!!!!
Also too, his claim of being “this close” to a vaccine is utter BULLSHIT.

Trump’s entire reelection campaign is based on the economy and touting the stock market. If the market goes into a prolonged plunge, it hurts Trump’s reelection message.
Trump thinks that he can lie away a potential pandemic and keep the stock bubble high for the duration of his reelection. The president is also suffering from the delusion that he can control the markets with happy talk.

The Senate was briefed by Trump administration officials after Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said the administration was “asleep at the wheel” as the country faces a “pandemic.”
“They would be as appalled & astonished as I am by the inadequacy of preparedness & prevention.”

“Trump just put Mike Pence, the rabid right wing science denier, in charge of coronavirus response.
Tomorrow: Nothing to worry about folks. Only gay people get it.
It’s the goddamn Reagan Administration all over again.”

‘It’s been done before. In October 2014, during an epidemic in West Africa of the deadly Ebola virus, President Obama designated Ron Klain — who was previously chief of staff to Vice Presidents Al Gore and Joe Biden — to be the White House’s Ebola czar.’
Fuck coronavirus. It’s the ovens that will get us.
