Donald Trump Says China Will Pay for Stimulus Bill: 'They're the Ones That Caused This Problem'

Source: Newsweek

President Donald Trump has suggested China will somehow cover the costs of the next coronavirus relief package in the United States.

Amid a stalemate in talks, he has said he would go higher in terms of spending on a stimulus bill—and that China would cover such costs.

"I would [go higher] because this was not caused by our workers and our people, this was caused by China and China will pay us back in one form or another," he said, in an interview with Fox Business.

"We're gonna take it from China. I tell you now, it's coming out of China. They're the ones that caused this problem."

send their Great Wall instead of money.

Mexico will pay the postage. It's two truths blended together. He has 60,000+ lies to fix by 1/20/2021, so no more golf for him.

I'm pretty sure that we are the only country in the world headed by someone who doesn't know how tariffs work.

time around. And the second. "Mexico will pay for the wall." I'll double the GDP." I'll balance the budget." I'll offer a better health care plan." "You'll be so tired of winning." "I have all the best people."

The wall that dim-witted Eric admitted yesterday has only about 350 miles completed in four years, with about 1500 miles remaining.

1 word Mexico


Other words:
In 2019 China isolated the C-19 virus & sequenced out its genome which they turned over
to the World Health Organization and they then used that information to make a perfectly
good test kit for the coronavirus but Trump rejected that test kit because he and Kushner
invested in their brand of test kit. That kit didn't work and the virus spread like wildfire
and we are closing in on a 1/4 million dead.

I thought today was Thursday...Noone told me that it was FUCKERY FRIDAY! What happened? ICKY AMIN tells lies that not even a 3 year old toddler would try. Mama would have torn my behind up had I tried to blame EVERYONE & EVERYTHING for my shortcomings & wrongdoings. WTF, man? I have to take heavy duty meds every night for side effects the chemo I was given for "terminal cancer" I was Dx with over 9 years ago AND for a pretty robust case of an AutoImmune disease I have, SARCOIDOSIS. Some of them can knock a moose out. Did I sleep through Thursday 'cuz this is DEFINITELY Fuckery Friday bull$h!t.
