Tell me, do you still say 'freedom fries?' If you don't, you're being inconsistent.
As a free and critically-thinking American, the evidence is strong that the virus originated in China, that the country acted way too late in notifying the rest of the world, and hundreds of thousands of people have been victims of inaction and/or negligence at the hands of the CCP. Which really isn't surprising, because another communist regime, the Soviet Union, covered up Chernobyl because they wanted to save face in 1986. Why wouldn't we call it the China virus?

I refuse to call the virus COVID-19 because the WHO and the CCP are basically one and the same and parroting the same message, which is designed to deflect attention away from where the virus truly originated. So no, I'm not going to play into China's hands and call it some politically correct name no matter how many have "adopted" this name. CCP virus. Chinese virus. WuFlu.

Okay. If an incorrect name helps your psychological coping mechanisms, good for you.

Losing compared to the market is definitely a sign of a master businessman!

Trump steaks didn't exactly tear up the market, I guess...
Biden never ran ANY business, not even a lemonade stand. Trump ran many businesses, some successful, some not. That experience helped him achieve record setting american employment results.

Biden has NO P&L experience at all. He's a lifelong policy maker...nothing more.

The stock market has rebounded from a global pandemic which underlies confidence in the U.S. economy, which Trump helped to rebuild after the great recession.

Deflect away, but Trump's economic experience dwarfs Joe Biden's, and the stock market is doing well again which works in Trump's favor.

I didn't compare the two. You did. Who's deflecting?
