CHINA/CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/TRADE DEALS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Following the arrival of the plague from China — and that’s what it is; it’s a plague and it should have never happened. China should have never let that happen, but China did allow it to happen. We just signed a brand-new trade deal, and the ink wasn’t even dry when this came over.
But we raced into action to save our nation’s small businesses. We passed over $3 trillion in historic relief measures — $3 trillion; think of that — including over $670 billion for the Paycheck Protection Program, a tremendous success, as you can see by the numbers.”
-Donald Trump, “Remarks by President Trump at Spirit of America Showcase,” whitehouse.gov, July 2, 2020
