There's also some racist undertones here, too—the idea that the evil Chinese somehow engineered a global pandemic, even if the actual release would be accidental. I'm not a fan of the Chinese government, but Trump calling it "China virus" definitely led to physical assaults on elderly Asian people.

Everyone knows "paid protesters" is bullshit. Notice how they never do any actual investigations? If paid protests were really happening, there would be ads, emails, actual payment receipts. They don't even pretend it's legitimate truth. They just repeat the lie.

Allegations of "Trump derangement syndrome" were always disingenuous bullshit anyway.
