They were “good friends” just weeks ago. Even when we pretty much knew the source of the virus. What happened?

Trump probably has received direct evidence that, after the initial lab leak caused mass death in Wuhan, CCP agents deliberately spread the virus to the West so China wouldn't go down alone.
It was an act of war, but not as clear to the public as Pearl Harbor.

A hard cut-off would hurt the GOP base a lot more than the net benefit recipients under Grandma Pelosi's wing.
