"Ask China". Trump is focused like a laser on turning the virus, lockdown and economy into a referendum on China. If the Left is not careful they'll unwittingly be maneuvered into being apologists for Beijing or risk agreeing with him; a fate worse than political death.
Beijing's political style of fighting was optimized for the Davos-dominated, media indoctrinated world. They invested in all the respectable places. Hollywood, universities, media outlets. Trump is waging asymmetrical warfare against this infrastructure with considerable effect.
Beijing figured it could use the Coronavirus chaos as cover to move its agenda forward. But Scott Morrison, Boris Johnson and Trump realized they had to beat the CCP to the punch and pin the chaos on them. They had to or lose the fight.
Beijing was so accustomed to Washington rolling over, as a result of their past experience with the respectable set, that they were taken aback by the unexpected onset. The global Deplorables are making a surprise fight of it.
"surely ... this is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never-in nothing, great or small, large or petty – never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy."
