Hello, Comrade. Do you need more soup?
Did he increase their weekly ration of Chocolate?
We don’t believe 90% of the blather that comes out of our own MSM but we’re supposed to take press releases from Communist China like they came out of a burning bush?
Betting he is flying over and waving.
No but I hear that there will be a bat or snake in every pot due to the surplus.

Or did the CCP send him there on purpose?
Just plain dumb...
Here comes the second wave.
#1 He visits patients in a nearly empty room wearing a facemask and viewing them thru a tv set. Might as well stayed home.
Not exactly Mao swimming in the Yangtze River, is it?
I’d like to see the president of India swimming in the Ganges river and pushing aside the dead people floating down stream....
He is facing a screen.

Yup.
And stupid enough trying to blame U.S for the outbreak.
