Even if the lab leak theory is true, why Trump was so confident about it? Does he have sources that CIA does not? I would be so confident in it only in the case if I myself caused that virus leak...

Only one lab in the world doing GoF experiments on this specific furin cleavage site AND a random natural mutation happens within a few KM of this lab on this specific furin cleavage site. What are the odds of this happening? Very close to zero.

Trump wasn't confident in the theory. He is not confident in anything. He does not care about the truth or falsity of anything he says. He only cares about it serving his interests.

Don’t you people tire of this? Do you really not realize why he just won every contest we have?

He was the president at the time - yes - he had better info than you. The people saying it wasn’t a lab leak had motivation to do so - and the head of that group just took a president pardon for their efforts.

A narcissist like Trump doesn't have better information than I do.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.

“I have better information than the president of the United States… HE is a narcissist”

Yep. Just checking to make sure I’m following along correctly.

The president has access to information that I do not. It's wasted on him. You know this as well as I.

Well, if there is one thing about Trump that everyone would agree on, it is that he is very self confident in everything he says.

He has the voices in his head.
