This doesn’t even make sense
In Donald Trump’s troubled, added, and radioactively toxic mind, everything he doesn’t like is a vast conspiracy against him. This includes any news outlet which reports anything true that doesn’t go along with his fictional worldview. The trouble for Trump is that most of the nonsense he’d peddling doesn’t even make sense on its face.
For instance, after 60 Minutes aired an in depth segment on Sunday night which made clear that the coronavirus very probably originated in nature and not in a laboratory, Trump tweeted this:
.@CBS and their show, @60Minutes, are doing everything within their power, which is far less today than it was in the past, to defend China and the horrible Virus pandemic that was inflicted on the USA and the rest of the World. I guess they want to do business in China!

.
Come on now. In Donald Trump’s mind, 60 Minutes is conspiring with the government of China because it wants to do business with China? Is Trump envisioning Lesley Stahl selling stuff out of the back of a truck or something? There are almost no words for how far gone this guy is.
