The remaining blue collar industries in the US, like oil, petrochemicals, coal mining, and natural gas drilling are all under attack from the left. The left would have us dependent on the Muslim nations, Russia and Venezuela for our energy needs too.
A lot of Trump's clothing line products were made in China. Then again, he was one of those liberal Democrats and globalists before taking office.

Natural gas drilling is more under attack from the Progressive Sanders than Biden, largely for environmental reasons.

The world has certainly learned a hard lesson...goodbye China..this is going to backfire on all fronts that is why they are trying so hard to hide critical info and blame everything on everyone except them. The money we saved on cheap labor has just cost us 4 times more...why the hell we source most of our medicine ingredients from this dishonest and disgusting country? It's time to start making things we need here in our own backyard.

Sort of? Hmm...
Ebola came out of the Congo. So did AIDS. The first known outbreak of syphilis came from Italy. Cholera came out of India.

They left China to escape from communism and socialism, people like you, Bernie, Biden, AOC and Pocahontas want to introduce communism and socialism to the USA.
I'm not a Democrat, nor a Liberal, and I didn't vote for Hillary, and I didn't vote for Trump.

Criticizing Trump doesn't make someone a Democrat or a Liberal.

It doesn't make anyone anything other than someone who criticizes Trump.

Everything isn't 'Us vs. Them'.

Part of Trump's answer to the female reporter as to why he calls it the Chinese virus was that he "wants to be accurate". That's a crock. If accuracy was what he cared about, he'd use the bolded above.

People who fit those categories may be leveling the same criticism of Trump that I am on this issue, but that is irrelevant re my fitting any of those categories.

If you and Tom were confident in your feeling that criticism of Trump is invalid, you wouldn't care who criticized him. You would internally dismiss any critic as invalid and ignore any critic. The criticism only bothers you/gets under your skin because you know it is valid.

Not liking Trump doesn't make someone an enraged leftist, nor a Democrat.

I'm not a Republican either, but think about this...

Trump supposedly has a 95% approval rating among Republicans. That means 5% of Republicans don't support him. That 5% might upset/try the patience of some of the other 95%, but I doubt many among the 95% would classify anyone among the 5% as "enraged leftists".

How typical this is for the MSM to not give Trump credit for not calling it the ***** or **** virus.

Trump can call it anything he wants. Who cares if it could be offensive to anyone. While I don't hate a person of Chinese descent, I despise their government. They are no friend or ally to the United States. F them if they don't like to hear us call it then "Chinese virus ", from the beginning they tried to keep this covered up and I still don't think they are being completely truthful.

It's stupid to lash out at trading partners that we are dependent on just because of one officials lack of courtesy.
The Chinese Regime needs to be called out on how they handled this epidemic. The world needs to reassess how it views and does business with China. Calling it anything but a Chinese disease is letting China off the hook for the mayhem it has caused the world. Officially and from now on the rest of the world should be calling it by its name, the Wuhan Virus.
