Trump is reportedly looking to blame Mexico for new coronavirus spikes in the US

 

Returning to one of his most consistent political ploys, President Donald Trump is reportedly looking to scapegoat Mexico for spikes in US coronavirus cases. 

The messaging strategy of blaming Mexico instead of states reopening businesses was discussed at length during a recent White House Coronavirus Task Force meeting, according to the Associated Press. 

Two administration officials told the AP that the idea was bandied about at the task force's Thursday meeting in the White House Situation Room, with attempts made to tie Mexico to outbreaks as far north as North Carolina. 

Non-essential travel between the two countries is still banned under a joint agreement from March. 

The virus has taken a much less severe toll on Mexico, with the country seeing only around 133,000 cases and 16,000 deaths compared to more than 2 million cases and 115,000 deaths stateside. 

Scapegoating Mexico is nothing new for Trump.

You honestly blame him for the pandemic and not China?   You're a POS.
