I get Trump's persuasion play but IMHO "Chinese Virus" is a term too broad and generic, given that many, many large-scale virus epidemics originate in China. I hear "Chinese Virus", I think "Which one??"
I see nothing wrong with being specific and calling it by its name that all the journalists on TV were calling it for weeks when it first broke, until they got the 4 am mockingbird memo ordering them to knock it off.
WUHAN VIRUS
"WUHAN" sounds way more Chinese, and thus more appropriately foreign, than the word "Chinese".
There's us. And there's them. Two different peoples, separated by spoken and written language, culture, menu (!), and thousands of miles of open ocean. And that's a good thing, not a bad thing.
Today they were harping on and trying to claim that he or his administration are also calling it the Kong Flu because of that leftist Asian reporter. He had multiple questions today from these asshats about his terminology. He handles those clowns so well in those briefings and I love that he goes right back to being Trump when they go there.

We didn't start this shit. But we'll end it.
This, because WuFlu is also super catchy!
