You are a perfect example of a brainwashed low IQ individual that watches too much CNN, MSNBC and other propaganda garbage. Orange Man never said the virus was a hoax. He called Democrats politicizing coronavirus ‘their new hoax’. Moreover, Orange Man on several occasions before that did refer publicly to the virus as a ‘plague’ and a ‘killer’.
And another surprise for you - the world already had coronavirus outbreak 20 years ago. There was no ‘infrastructure’ for political exploitation of the outbreak, so it went away on its own without lockdowns, mandate vaccinations, masks, etc.
