Former President Donald Trump said Thursday that his original idea on how Covid-19 ravaged the planet is being proven correct and that “the Chinese Communist Party should pay $10 trillion in global reparations.”

In a formal statement Trump condemned the Chinese government and by extension Dr. Anthony Fauci for covering up the lab leak.

“It is now unanimous, and I have been proven right (once again),” Trump wrote, “that the initial World Health Organization Report on the Wuhan Lab was flawed and must be redone, this time by a truly transparent investigation. We were right about the China Virus from the beginning, and now the entire world sees it. This is why the Chinese Communist Party should pay $10 Trillion in global reparations for what they allowed to happen, the worst event in world history.

“Even here in the United States, the so-called experts like Dr. Fauci were wrong about the Wuhan Lab and China’s role the entire time. Just think how bad things would have gotten if I followed Dr. Fauci’s advice and never closed down travel from China (and other things)? Dr. Fauci likes to say that he is “science,” when in fact he is merely science fiction!”

The statement went further than what the former president said earlier in the week about Fauci’s role in the pandemic. “Fauci has perhaps never been so wrong than when he denied the virus and where it came from,” Trump said, adding: “The time has come for America and the world to demand reparations and accountability from the Communist Party of China.

“The current administration is so timid and corrupt that instead of holding China accountable, the Biden administration shut down the US government investigation into the origins of the virus shortly after taking office,” Trump added.
