I remember this, he clearly refers to how he acted quickly to stop the flow of people from overseas and how few cases of COVID there were at that time. The "Hoax" was how Democrats were claiming Trump was xenophobic and/or accusing him of overreacting, if you remember Nancy Pelosi out walking around in Chinatown without a mask etc around this time. But how quickly the winds can shift.
This and the Charlottesville "fine people hoax" that Biden himself keeps repeating is fake news that just won't die, nor does Twitter seem too keen on helping kill it off either.
He literally didn't stop any flow. He's still talking about how he closed the border to China. False, he closed the border to Chinese nationals. Anyone else coming from China was fine. Trump lies constantly. Incessantly. It's legitimately ruined public discourse which is why people keep pushing social media to label/censor misinformation. Trump literally said "fine people" too, referring to literal white supremacists. I don't give a fuck if he walked it back or said something else first. Trump starting with a prepared statement before telling us how he really feels has happened over and over. Remember when Trump totally didn't leak classified info to Russia. Until he admitted himself that he had.
