WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump isn’t calling the new coronavirus the “Chinese virus” anymore.

Trump had insisted on pointing out the virus’ Chinese origin in appearances over the past few weeks. Asians have said the term is offensive and has put them at risk.
Trump didn’t use the term during an hour-long appearance Tuesday on Fox News. Nor did he repeat it during a nearly 2-hour White House briefing a day earlier.
The president in the past has defended using the term, but on Tuesday he cited his good relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping and the loss China has suffered because of the virus.
Trump says everyone knows the coronavirus came out of China and says he decided not to make “any more of a big deal out of it.”
“The Virus Formerly Know As Chinese”. The late musician, Prince, would be proud.
How so mature of him. So how old is he now? 9? 10?
Just because Trump refrained from calling the virus that he long scoffed at the Chinese virus, doesn’t mean that he won’t do so tomorrow. He’s very much liker a little child who behaves for a short time when the teacher places him in a corner,
Some here have Neanderthal intelligence. Whew !!!!
Stinks in here.
