This is the first time the ever-controversial president is tagging the virus by its origin. A lot of reactions have followed the comment with many believing its a deliberate attempt by the president to spark hate among the two countries.
In his tweet, he said;
The United States will be powerfully supporting those industries, like Airlines and others, that are particularly affected by the Chinese Virus. We will be stronger than ever before!

Reacting to the tweet;

We need to investigate China’s actions to coverup the Chinese Virus – their actions have HURT our ability to contain the pandemic.
China must be held accountable for their blatant disregard for life and international law.

People are mad that I accidentally called the Chinese Virus “ The Ching “Chong Virus”
I’m a comedian give me a break. I’m allowed to have fun during this crisis.
I won’t say Ching Chong Virus again. I mean the Ching Chong Virus. No I mean the Kung Flu
It’s interesting that a naturally occurring virus is called “Chinese virus” – while literal US military invasions are called “Vietnam War” or “Iraq War” even internationally – and not “American war” – as if the US was not involved at all.

What do you think about this? Is this just what the virus really is or an attempt by Trump to trigger racism?

Ignore the rhetoric. There is no such thing as a Chinese virus. It is where it took off from but nothing deeper. My 11 year old is intelligent enough to understand this. How can full grown adults …
Never mind. Evolution comes at different rates person to person. Give the Pres and others a hundred or so years to catch up with these concepts.
Trump has always been this way. Thanks for the comment.
