Trump and racism (again)
Trump is trying to blame China for COVID19.
Are we to ‘blame’ Saudi Arabia for MERS or ‘blame’ Mexico for Swine Flu? How about ‘blaming’ the DRC in West Africa for Ebola? What about Malaria? We can blame all those of a ‘funny tinge’ for that. And there is Zika where we need to ‘blame’ Brazil. Trump is pandering to racism to try and deflect the attention from the way he said that COVID19 was not going to be a big thing along with the other examples of true incompetence that have taken place since then, including the many things he got wrong in his presidential address. If he is to call COVID19 a name based on racism, he should be consistent and do the same with Ebola, which still kills in Africa as well as how Malaria and Zika are still issues for far too many.
