President Donald Trump said Saturday that he wished China would have told him earlier about the novel coronavirus, despite previously praising the country's transparency on the issue.
"I wish they could have told us earlier about what was going on inside," Trump said during a briefing on the federal government's coronavirus response. "We didn't know about it until it started coming out publicly."
Trump added that China "was very secretive and that's unfortunate."
On January 24, Trump praised China and President Xi Jinping for the country's "efforts and transparency" in dealing with the coronavirus. That praise came nearly a month after the country informed the World Health Organization about the virus.

Even though the first case of coronavirus in this country was three days earlier.

For the two months before we had a full on onslaught in this country you were dismissing it like it was nothing, even while your intelligence agencies were telling you otherwise. You can't pawn your failures off on another country. You fucked up! You thought you could bs your way through this and still are trying to gaslight us.
