Because many of those that like that kind of talk never matured mentally past the age of 13..same ones who get all excited about Trump name-calling his opponents or detractors and who think the President's main job is to "troll the libs". Low intelligence.

Americans have spoken, all 900 of them. You call that a large poll?

It's extra weird, since 80% of Americans polled thought political correctness went too far.


They can't BOTH be right.

The virus originated from China, plain and simple, and they tried to cover it up. Leftists don't want people calling it the Wuhan Flu or Kung Flu (which is brilliant ) because when people refer to it by those names, it's much harder to attach it to Trump. That's what all this is about. Using it to harm Trump.

Screw the CCP, their Wuhan Flu, and all the leftist speech police who think they are going to dictate the words I/we can use.

This time I think they formed on inside of his skull.
I think Trump isn't smart enough to do anything about it. This is why things are being handled the way they've been handled. He's out for himself.

Did it or did it not come from China? Over the last 100 years or more it has not been uncommon for diseases to have been named for the regions/areas from whence they came! Spanish flu ? Ebola? West Nile? MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome). People are far too sensitive! Get over it and move on to something that is actually important!

I've never felt any urge to call Covid-19 "kung-flu" or "china virus". I hear the persons who call it those terms. I see alot of immaturity and hate in them. If the main reason someone votes for a President is to "troll" people they don't like, then that says that those individuals think alot like 13 year-old bullies. It isn't helping anyone at all.
