Calling COVID-19 “kung flu” and “China flu” is backfiring on Trump (poll, economic)

Americans have spoken: we disapprove of the terms “kung flu” and “China flu”. It is interesting to note that 2/3rd of respondents thought these terms are inappropriate, while 2/3rd in another large poll disapprove of Trump’s response to the pandemic.
Clearly, Americans see through Trump’s futile attempts to distract and deflect. We place significant blame on Trump for his poor response to the pandemic and the subsequent economic fallout.
The more he and his supporters continue to use these terms to describe COVID-19, the more Americans get tired of the deflection. The question is, will Trump wisen up and stop using these buzzwords that Americans automatically associate with his failure? Will he start acting responsibly?
I hear calling a virus from China that is similar to the flu the "China Flu" is the best way to get feeble minded individuals on the left to screech "REEEEE!"
I have "Thanks Kung-Flu" on my mask.......reminds folks where it came from.
There are alot of illnesses that came out of China, India, and other countries. Why this particular illness? I don't recall hearing SARS being called "kung flu". To be blunt, I think the only reason people want to call it that is because of ethnic anger at Chinese people. It's called Covid-19.
So why is Trump in denial rather than "kung-flu fighting"???? Seems he is too much of a coward to actually do anything about it. Wishing upon a star and blaming the messenger of bad news, doesnt do diddly. But wait, maybe his bone spurs are acting up....... that excuse worked before to avoid public service. This time I think they formed on inside of his skull.
