It's a hard one. Trump was promoting it when there was not enough evidence and was acting as it it was obvious. As a scientist you need to be much more careful and precise in what you say. As far as I can tell, what we have now are some very strong cues, but still no definitive proof (that might be impossible to have without the cooperation of the Chinese government).
- loonster 5y agoI would expect the president of the united states to have much more information available to him than the rest of the country. IIRC, Trump didn't start blaming China until China started blaming the USA for the spread during the military games that happened during the fall.
- knownjorbist 5y agoTrump clearly is inconsistent on this front, since the entire IC was warning him about russian interference and that Putin specifically was doing everything in his power(while still maintaining plausible deniability) to get him into office. I think we can safely discard the notion that Trump would be reporting on anything the IC tells him.
