Trump brushes aside report that White House staffer used term 'kung flu' to refer to coronavirus

"A person at the White House used the term 'kung flu.' My question is: Do you think that's wrong?" Alcindor asked again.

"No, not at all. Not at all," Trump said, adding that Asian Americans "probably would agree with it 100%. It comes from China. There’s nothing not to agree with."

Guess we’re not supposed to notice her Chinese name and assume that she’s a Chinese communist party embed or at least a sympathizer. Imagine if there were a Fox News reporter named Igor Smirnoff challenging the Russia investigation while it was ongoing. Oh how the media would have fun with that.

Little Wee-ja needs something more to keep her busy ... like fortunetelling as this appears to be a case of “Weijia bored”.

Political Correctness demands that everyone pretend to believe something that everyone knows is false.

Trump is unique is his ability to boldly reject Political Correctness.

And here all this time I thought the Washington Examiner was one of the good guys.

Last I remember, the Washington Examiner is made up of a large number of Never-Trumpers. There's a few good ones there, and every now and then, a fair story slides out, but they're definitely not 100% pro-Trump

Somebody, who she can’t name, said it to her face? My BS meter is flashing. But even if someone did say it, it’s the sort of word-play that is inevitable

Exactly. When was the last time a member of The Fake News Media protected the identity of a Trump official instead of naming him or her in an attempt to destroy his or her life?

Ah, she saw it on the interwebs somewhere and decided to try to "get him" with it. It's obvious to me.

Spanish flu, Asian flu, Black death, Native American smallpox.
Arguing over the name of a disease is like arguing over the names of hurricanes. Stupid.

You’re talking to a White House official face to face, you complain to the president about it in public, he asks you who said it - AND SHE HAD NO IDEA??

BS and I don’t care.
