    “We must stop politicizing the virus, but instead must be united in our condemnation of how this virus came to America”, Trump said.

    In other words..........

    My guess is that he wants people to stop talking about how badly it has hit the country and the reasons for that. Instead of focusing on what could be done better or creating a plan to defeat it before winter, he would like everyone to play the blame game. Note - blame games are for losers, not leaders.

    We should stop politicizing also means; Prior to November 4th, voters shouldn’t be evaluating the Federal government’s performance in times of crisis.

    The people that made this political are the same people that issued mask mandates and have attempted a tyrannical lockdown of our country.

    I’m no fan of Trump, or Republicans in general, Trump has contributed to the politics. Covid’s political nature began with Cuomo and Newsom.

    This explains why the Democrats blame Trump for, literally, everything.

    "Trump now urges Americans to stop politicizing Covid19, and blame China"

    Trump attacks China for playing down the Virus, the ironic thing is, Trump also played down the virus and still is to this day

    Trump made the task force briefings about himself, Trump is the one that made this political

    Trump did not care about the virus until Pence got all the attention, then Trump was like, no, I wanna do that

    Trump was putting the mission accomplished flag up when we only had 15 cases, claiming 15 going on zero

    "The Trump Administration’s Deregulation of Nursing Homes Leaves Seniors and Disabled at Higher Risk for COVID-19"

    https://www.americanprogress.org/is...leaves-seniors-disabled-higher-risk-covid-19/

    "Why are nursing homes being hit so hard by the outbreak? One reason is that they are a target of the Trump administration’s aggressive deregulation agenda."

    "In response, the nursing home lobby again advocated for less oversight, and in July 2019, the Trump administration proposed new rules relaxing the requirements tied to infection control. It suggested that consultants could be used, instead of requiring infection specialists to be employed at the site, at minimum, on a part-time basis. This meant that there was no longer a requirement for a full-time, hands-on expert in infection contamination on-site."

    ~ Every nation that has suffered from the Wuhan virus will hold China responsible. Nothing less is acceptable .

    Early April;

    Trump’s self-congratulating comparisons;

    During a task force meeting, Trump proudly compared the U.S. and the most affected European nation’s number of deaths per 100,000, thus, U.S. versus Belgium, Spain, Italy, UK, France, and Netherland.

    Since then, we’ve surpassed Netherland, France, and soon, Italy, and that’s certainly not good.

    Question; Since January, what was politicized?

    Answer; Mainly, Trump’s unwise and loud mouth.

    Isn't scapegoating really. It came from China. Apparently New Zealand's recent outbreak is caused by frozen food imported from overseas. We can either accept that we are all getting it or we can shut down all imports from everywhere. Masks aren't going to protect you if it is being spread within the global food supply.

    None of those places have anything to do with what I posted, but New Zealand was rid of it and now it is back there again.

    Indeed! His treatment of governors during this crisis - dependent upon their blue or red status - is a great indicator.
