Because, 'Muricans are willing to believe their hard working immigrant neighbors in Ohio are willing to steal and butcher their dogs, their cats, and the people who live there for variation in their diet?
ETA: Or, they believe that folks who tell monstrous lies about their countrymen are somehow fit to hold office?

You’ve got to be taught to hate and fear,
You’ve got to be taught from year to year,
It’s got to be drummed in your dear little ear—
You’ve got to be carefully taught!
You’ve got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly made,
And people whose skin is a different shade—
You’ve got to be carefully taught.
You’ve got to be taught before it’s too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate—
You’ve got to be carefully taught!
You’ve got to be carefully taught!

No need to go read this article, I will sum up
…Huge omissions in Trump's petty little speech snowball it into his most important ever - Raw Story…
The takeway is Chump should be declaring war on China for booting him out of office in 2020. If he really believed it or had proof. And instead he uses it as pretext to go to war on Dems and blue states and American citizens.
He did have a throwaway sentence in his speech about how it was ‘hidden’ from him…but there is also no getting around that it was while he was in power.
From the article:
" “Yet those responsible for sounding the alarm instead kept the information secret and hidden,” Mr. Trump said. “They did not disclose to me as president or to anyone else, and to the best of our knowledge, they did not inform Congress.”
Who is “they”? He never says, not really. Doesn’t need to, so long as “they” exist in some liminal space in which Trump lives his alternative life, where he is always the “winner.” "
