and are not affected with racial intolerance or Trumpism will see this as a ploy by Trump to change the narrative. After all, you have to provide the public with a common enemy.

In this case, there is no face on the enemy, and we started calling this virus "Trump's Virus." So, now he is calling it the "Chinese Virus." This distracts us from the horrible job he's doing.

It won't help him, and adults who have to take care of business will not join in. It's disgusting and divisive. It's not Presidential, and it is unworthy. What a POS he is.
