He's not calling it that because he doesn't know what it's called. He's doing it on purpose because he has an agenda: To associate this disaster with China, to sour public opinion on China. But the average person thinks "Trump doesn't even know what it's called! Haha."

I think its more to distract the narrative away from how poorly he has handled it.

Every second people waste on this nonsense distracts people from the fact he had two months to prepare for this and did NOTHING

Fine. You have a point.

I still don't trust China. The authoritative government of China, but that's essentially what I'm speaking of when I say 'China.'

So? Call it the Jinping flu if he wants. China doesn't deserve to be treated with any sort of respect.

Have we forgotten that they currently have 1mil+ of their people locked in nazi-style concentration camps?

It's important to point out that whenever Trump addresses something by nationality, a slew of racist hate crimes occur. Example: for months after he was harping on the wall there were "vigilantes" "arresting" Hispanic people in New Mexico and Arizona. If his supporters weren't bat shit insane this probably could be shrugged off, even though it really shouldnt be either way

The three videos of Asians getting attacked over on WorldStar didn't seem like Trump people, but I do agree with you

Lol we should consider ourselves lucky for having the level of freedom enough to be stupid. People of China don't get a chance to vote for a dumbass like Trump. They don't get to have a dumb opinion on a subject like TC does about how he thinks people don't get what Trump's agenda is. Trump literally talks about the Coronavirus like it's some conspiracy to make his presidency look bad. It's not some big secret

But China managed to curb the epidemic by enforcing pretty strict rules on the citizens til things blew over. It was undeniably effective and will overall result in far less people dead and their economies the least affected, but that's the extent of the advantages of an authoritarian government. For us, we enjoy freedom to be dumbasses then suffer when some catastrophe happens that requires discipline and organization to stave off. The only difference is that we don't get to pick our poison since we're mostly born or fated to go to wherever we may stay.

There's been over 700 cases of anti-asian hate crimes reported in like a 2 week time span.

I'm not even defending China. I'm just pointing out that the average Trump-hating American underestimates Trump and can't figure out that he does things on purpose.

Rather than calling it the Chinese virus, which sparks racism against Asian-Americans, he should be focusing on the cover ups and lies of the Chinese government. It would arguably serve his purpose better.

Im okay with the concept of souring peoples opinions on China (as a government)the problem is so many of his supporters are dumb racists that theyll take it to mean Chinese people, and by extension theyll just be dumb racists toward all Asian people

China originally tried to claim the virus was started by American troops, IIRC
