Which option has the better ring to it?

(34,115 posts)I think we should use pandemic because he has been telling us idiots all along that is what this is and we apparently either did not know what that was or did not hear him. JFC, this man just makes everything suck worse, even a pandemic.

(7,715 posts)Because we are politicizing this?
What do you think Trump is doing by calling it the Chinese Virus? It is clear as day that his and Fox's complete conversion on the Trump Virus is designed to spin it so that he and the Rus-publicans are the saviors. Just one example: https://www.rawstory.com/2020/03/can-trump-use-the-coronavirus-pandemic-to-win-again-heres-why-you-should-be-worried/
Trump should be forever associated with this awful disease by his failure to act.
I am fed up with this gaslighting.

Also, we should call it Trump's virus.

(7,715 posts)It's fact. Trump single-handedly botched this. That's silly. Criminally so.

(7,715 posts)Politics is about spinning reality to your version. The Republicans are FAR better at that than we are. They will spin this to their convenience, with truth going down the toilet. They excel at that, and they have already started on the Trump Virus.
If we wimp out over something this obvious, let's go back to discussing HRC's emails, which were far more serious, right?

But, anything that catches on, and successfully attaches Trump's name to it forever, is acceptable to me.

All jokes aside, we do need to settle on a name and use it everywhere we go. Trump likes putting his names on things and I think we should accommodate him. It is the patriotic thing to do.....
