he called it a hoax, he called it democrats hoax. A hoax implies that it is fake.
You want me to quote up to the line he said it?
then here let me quote it
"Coronavirus, they’re politicizing it. We did one of the great jobs. You say, “How’s President Trump doing?” They go, “Oh, not good, not good.” They have no clue. They don’t have any clue. They can’t even count their votes in Iowa. They can’t even count. No, they can’t. They can’t count their votes."
"One of my people came up to me and said, “Mr. President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia.” That didn’t work out too well. They couldn’t do it. They tried the impeachment hoax. That was on a perfect conversation. They tried anything. They tried it over and over. They’d been doing it since you got in. It’s all turning. They lost. It’s all turning. Think of it. Think of it. And this is their new hoax."
"They" being clearly democrats. There isn't any other way to interpret that.
And to state now, no democrat at all was politicizing the issue. they made their voice clear, wear a mask, and shutdown. However, with that one line, he politicize it.
