May 24, 2020 "They could have stopped the coronavirus, they could not do it for incompetence or they did not want and both are unacceptable": so the American president, Donald Trump, has returned to attack China for the Covid-19 pandemic , in an interview with Sinclair Broadcasting. Trump reiterated that the measures taken by the United States "saved millions of lives" and said he was confident that he could "restart the economy quickly". 

The US President - after the many controversies of these weeks - announced during the interview that he has "just finished" taking hydroxychloroquine "and I am still here". In fact, many experts said they were rather skeptical about the statements made by the American leader and reported the serious side effects that the antimalarial drug could cause, especially at the heart level.

The tycoon - referring to the presidential elections - brought China up again, saying that together with the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, "they don't want me to win the election again". The American president said that his challenger to the November presidential elections cannot "remember even what he did yesterday, he has never been renowned for being an intelligent person". The Democratic candidate in the White House replies: "Nearly 100,000 people have died and tens of millions are out of work. At the same time the president spends his day playing golf," tweeted Biden, alluding to the fact that the president is returned to the green for the first time since the lockdown for the coronavirus. In 2014, Trump had attacked the then President Barack Obama (of whom Biden was the deputy) because he played golf in full alarm for the Ebola epidemic in West Africa.

Joe Biden is ahead in the polls with 48% against 40% of Donald Trump in view of the US presidential election in November: this is what emerges from a Fox News survey confirmed by an average of the polls of the last week that gives the Democratic candidate 48% and the president in office 40%.
