Yes, of course the liberals cannot stand any positive praise for president Trump. Do you deny that banning travel from China back in January delayed the travel of the China Wuhan virus to US? It likely arrived in the US from the EU, notably Italy, not directly from China due to the earlier travel restriction.
1). It was already in the USA before the china travel restrictions were put in place
2). Even if you don't believe that 1) is true, all of Trumps other actions before and following the china travel restriction:
- rejecting testing,
- rejected plentiful supply from international sources of proven test kits, instead insisted on faulty CDC test and even then still rejected the international test to wait on other delayed US test kits.
- ignoring scientific advice,
- failure to ramp up protective equipment and ventilator production,
- no adequate screening at borders,
- downplaying the virus threat ("It's a liberal Hoax!" & "it will go away by itself" & "we have 5 cases, that will be zero soon"),
- disbanding the pandemic office,
- defunding the CDCs global offices,
All of the above has rendered any benefit from the china travel restriction basically meaningless.
