“In Pasadena this weekend … a Mulan poster was vandalized. Someone spray-painted a mask on her, and the words ‘Toxic, Made in Wuhan.’”
—Koco McAboy, FOX11, Los Angeles
“This morning a White House official referred to #Coronavirus as the ‘Kung-Flu’ to my face. Makes me wonder what they’re calling it behind my back.”

“Trump’s ‘Chinese Virus’ racism isn’t accidental – making it all the more stupid”
—euronews
WASHINGTON, DC – MARCH 19: A close up of President Donald J. Trump’s notes shows where Corona was crossed out “Corona” and replaced with “Chinese” Virus as he speaks with his coronavirus task force in response to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic during a briefing in the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House on Thursday, March 19, 2020 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Jabin Botsford/The Washington Post via Getty Images) Source
It’s not just about naming the virus with its (very debatable) country of origin.
Trump only succeeds when he has a boogeyman to blame and this time it’s Asians.
Yes, I know all Asians aren’t Chinese. Do you think people that listen to Trump and watch Fox do?
This would be unacceptable even if the slackjaws were only targeting Chinese and Chinese-Americans, but now you have a whole bunch of knuckledragggers targeting anyone even vaguely Asian.
Great job republicans. All to save the feelings of the biggest piece of shit on earth.
Up next, a lot of people you know will get sick. Some people you know will die. A lot of the country will lose their jobs, their businesses, and their homes.
Compare our response to South Korea, which had their first case on the SAME day the US did.
This is Trump’s doing.
He disbanded the pandemic response team because Obama created it and he hates Obama. He lied to the American people and told them it’s a “Democratic Hoax.” He said it’s just like the normal flu. He declined a million tests from the WHO. He didn’t want people to get tested because it might hurt the Stock Market, it might hurt Trump.
Hell, he appointed a general for Space Force, but not for the CDC.
There are STILL no tests. Remember that when this is over. Trump and his cronies need to be tried, and convicted for their crimes against America.
