"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."

It’s an ancient regimen of exercises, meant to make I-forget-which emperor’s subjects healthy and strong. It means “a man’s exercise”. Who knew it would become a huge movie franchise, all because Bruce Lee got a supporting part in a silly TV show during the sixties.

CRY US A RIVER, Weijia...

Time for you to seek work in which you are qualified...some field in sales, or service...or maybe just retire, and do volunteer work in nursing homes...

You certainly show NO respect for a POTUS who has worked nonstop on this, “KUNG FLU”....get over yourself..

A political scientist found that fewer than 1 in 3 of 346 such allegations was genuine.

The media is not misunderstanding about these misquotes. They deliberately lie about what Trump said and allow the lies to be restated over and over until most people believe that PDJT actually said the misquote.

When the whole METOO movement was really big and then during the trial of Weinstein, I thought about what Trump had said. After being repeatedly egged on by the disgusting Bush guy, Trump said something like ... they let celebrities do it. Our media is really disgusting.

I agree - the media isn’t misunderstanding anything - they are purposely creating misunderstandings among the general public.
