President Donald Trump's allies are urging him to blame China for the virus that's killed over 60 thousand Americans in an effort to distract from his own administration's initial dismissals and bungled response that's since necessitated nationwide stay-at-home orders and the unemployment of millions.

It hasn't been difficult for Trump, considering how inclined he is to blame others for his shortcomings.

When answering questions for reporters on Thursday, the President claimed he'd seen evidence that the virus was made by Chinese scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Technology. Trump said he was "not allowed" to say what the evidence was.

That's when Fox News's White House Correspondent John Roberts pointed to a statement from the Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell, and things got awkward.

Watch below.


Roberts pointed to Grenell's statement, which said:

"The Intelligence Community ... concurs with the wide scientific consensus that [the virus] was not manmade or genetically modified."

Trump dismissed the statement, asking who specifically made it, before sarcastically saying:

"He would know that, huh? National Intelligence, okay. So we'll see."

Roberts reminded Trump that his own National Intelligence Director gave the statement, before Trump said he'd have to look at it.

People couldn't help but roll their eyes.




Did Trump forget who appointed the National Intelligence Director?



What. A. Mess.

Jessica Tarlov Has Perfect Clapback After Fox News Co-Host Criticizes Abdul El-Sayed For Not Being A 'Practicing Physician'

Fox News host Jessica Tarlov had the perfect response to her colleague Emily Compagno after Compagno complained that Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed is not a "practicing physician."

El-Sayed, an epidemiologist who campaigned on expanding healthcare access, strengthening the economy, and ending unconditional U.S. military aid to Israel, became the first progressive to win a statewide primary in a state carried by President Donald Trump in the 2024 election. He is set to face former Republican Congressman Mike Rogers during next month's midterms.

Trump Ripped After Openly Lusting Over MAGA Sisters With Tone-Deaf Joke Following Cornell Sexual Assault Allegations

President Donald Trump was criticized after openly lusting after Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy and her sister Leah Campos during a Hispanic Heritage Month event that took place amid national outrage following the sexual assault allegations that have been the center of a scandal at Cornell University.

A former Cornell student known only as "Jane Doe" filed a civil lawsuit detailing an October 2024 sexual assault at the Chi Phi fraternity house and Cornell's handling of the assault after it was reported to school officials. Cornell’s chapter of Chi Phi was closed shortly afterward and remains barred from campus.

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth after Hegseth delivered a slur-filled speech about who he's trying to bar from U.S. military service.

Speaking at U.S. Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia, Hegseth claimed that the Trump administration's cultural reimagining of the nation's armed forces has been a grand success. But, as evidenced by what he told those in attendance, this "success" was only possible because the Department of Defense has made no secret of excluding certain groups.
