In a Sunday morning interview on Fox News, former President Donald Trump appeared to say that China is both responsible for the Covid-19 pandemic while simultaneously praising Chinese dictator Xi Jinping.
Trump at first said that China must pay for its role in the spread of the Covid-19 virus, which has killed millions across the globe.
“China has to pay, they have to do something,” Trump told interviewer Maria Bartiromo. “They have to pay reparations and China doesn’t have the money to pay those reparations.”
Trump said that, if properly estimated, China would likely owe the world $60 trillion for the damage he says it has caused globally.
“I believe that worldwide, I’m not just talking about the United States, but worldwide – $60 trillion of damage. China doesn’t have $60 trillion, but they have to do something to make up for what they’ve done,” Trump said.
Yet in the same interview, Trump praised China’s leader Xi Jinping, causing Bartiromo – who is a massive Trump supporter – to bristle.
“You know, I had a great relationship with President Xi. I really believe he like me and I liked him, I had a great relationship -” Trump said before Bartiromo cut him off.
“He’s a killer,” Bartiromo said in exasperation.
Trump responded, saying that he agrees Xi “is a killer” but then continued touting his “great relationship” with the Chinese leader.
Throughout his presidency, Trump has had odd relationships with numerous dictators and strongarm leaders across the globe, including China’s Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and North Korean dictator and mass murderer Kim Jong Un, with whom Trump said he said he “fell in love” with.

YWN when you show the accompanying videos, gotta look at them good and then write the article and headlines. You seem so off with what you wrote, anyone agree??
Says the guy who instigated an insurrection and doesn’t pay his own legal bills. Immoral moron.
I guess there goes the national debt…..
Why not just blame Fauci, Gates and the rest before blaming China? It’s already been declared that they had a hand in it.
Wow, I guess RT has a warped sense of reality.
Why do we pay attention to what this moron says, again?
I’m not the greatest fan of Mr. Trump (although I am grateful for the positive things he has done) but on this point he is correct. Mr. Xi is the charming head of a brutal dictatorship. Mr Trump is the obnoxious former head of a democratic country. Yet Mr. Xi is viewed more favorably by many around the world than Mr. Trump.
Go figure!
Who cares what the trice impeached Former Guy now says? Why didn’t he ask China for the trillions in reoperations while he was in office?
Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump TrumpTrumpTrumpTrumpTrumpTrumptrumptrumptrumptrumptrumptrump………………………….. Um, Who cares??
Fauci is definitely to blame. He should pay reparations to China and the rest of the world. He admitted himself that the NIAID funded experiments in Wuhan. Whether it was for gain of function, is for the courts to decide.
Sof Ganev L’tliah. His days are numbered.
rt:
It wasn’t an “insurrection” and he wasn’t the one who “instigated” it.
Have you also stopped to consider…never mind; it’s hopeless, if you get your “facts” from the liberal media and don’t think how this could possibly be true.
Do you really believe that the US Capitol, especially on that day, did not have enough police manpower to handle some guys with fire extinguishers? In this country? Do you realize how pathetic that sounds?
how quickly we forget – he was in LOVE (he said so himself) with the North Korean dictator . i agree with all who say enough of trump, shlump, trump. enough already.
