I think our wise POTUS is using the “Chinese virus” for three key reasons:
1. China deserves to be “ridiculed” for its deception that is costing the whole world trouble and widespread deaths.
2. Trump knows that the Fake News will criticize him for saying “Chinese virus”, but that’s good because discussing that issue causes people to think and realize how irresponsible the Chinese really are.
3. It gets Deplorables angry defending his use of “Chinese virus” and therefore fires up his base and does damage to the Fake News, further pointing attention to what the Chinese did. Exhibit A: this thread...
Nice deconstruction.
