"The presidential retweet was not a one-off. By 19 March, Trump was saying in public that journalists who asked hard questions were 'siding with China'. On 31 January, Trump had boasted: 'We pretty much shut it down coming in from China. We have a tremendous relationship with China, which is a very positive thing.' By last week, he was counting on his supporters to have forgotten all that. This is how a failed presidency and failed political movement fights when it is in a corner."
