Given that President Trump rallied his base in a South
Carolina rally to treat the novel coronavirus as a “hoax”, is there a so-called
Trump Coronavirus Conspiracy?
By: Ringo Bones
Back in February 28, 2020 – during one of his so-called
reelection rallies – President Trump tried to cast the global outbreak of the
coronavirus as a “liberal conspiracy” intended to undermine his first term,
lumping it alongside impeachment and the Mueller investigation. Trump also downplayed
the coronavirus threat, - saying against expert opinion - that it was on par
with the garden variety flu. Even President Trump loyalists like Fox News host
Jesse Walters claims that Chinese people eating raw bat-meat is the very reason
why the coronavirus was able to spread really fast. Given the “batshit-crazy”
claims stated by trump’s base, does this lead credence to the existence of a
so-called “Trump Coronavirus Conspiracy”?
There are rumors abound on the internet that a certain
Russian Pro-Putin Neo-Nazi online forum site has cast blame on the novel
coronvirus spread on President Trump and Blackwater CEO Erik Prince that goes
the two had underwritten a crack team of mercenaries to salvage a weaponized
form of a coronavirus variant from an abandoned bioweapons lab in the middle of
the Siberian tundra and then released it somewhere in the Russia-China border
back in August 2019 which , to me, is as batshit crazy as a Trump loyalist
blaming the Chinese for eating raw bat-meat for the rapid coronavirus spread.
Even President Trump had recently joked about Hillary Clinton’s e-mails caused
the rapid coronavirus spread.
The basic question in the investigation of any crime – or in
this case, conspiracy – follows the Latin dictum,” cui bono” which roughly
means: “Who benefits from the enterprise?” and given how Trump’s brain works,
only sends the so-called “conspiracy investigator buff” into the rabbit-hole of
confusion. I mean given that President Trump is a noted germophobe, since 2018
on average, the Trump Administration had been slashing the annual budgets of
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institutes of Health
and the Department of Health and Human Services by almost 15-percent on an
annual basis since 2018 – which is really a weird thing for a noted germophobe
to do, right?
