As the crisis surrounding the Coronavirus continues across the United States, with more curfews enacted, stores closed, and public events cancelled, the real controversy is President Trump Tweeting out about the “China Virus.”

Just five days ago, professional journalists/racial advocacy groups/Democrats were aghast Rep. Paul Gosar would call it the “Wuhan Virus,” with House Leader Nancy Pelosi demanding he apologize at once for this egregious act of bigotry.

But now President Trump has dumped the regional label for the disease and instead noticed it came from China. He Tweeted:

“The United States will be powerfully supporting those industries, like Airlines and others, that are particularly affected by the Chinese Virus. We will be stronger than ever before!”

Yes, President Trump correctly identified the nation this devastating virus originated in, one he attempted to stop from reaching the USA back in late January 2020 when he issued an order restricting travel from China into America [Trump Administration Restricts Entry Into U.S. From China: The travel disruption sent shocks through the stock market and rattled industries that depend on the flow of goods and people between the world’s two largest economies, by Michael Corkery, New York Times, January 31, 2020].

The Left immediately went into action, attacking Trump as a racist, xenophobe and worse:

There it is. I’ve been deathly afraid of this exact moment where Trump turns to racism and xenophobia and calls COVID-19 the “Chinese Virus.” We are in deep trouble as a nation now that President of the United States makes the conscious decision to go down this dark path of hate. — Eugene Gu, MD (@eugenegu) March 16, 2020

Any journalist who would make up a name for COVID-19 and refer to it as “the Chinese Virus” would immediately be called out for xenophobia. Not sure why anyone would consider this statement from the president to be acceptable. It helps no one. Hurtful to many. https://t.co/4B2JkjMjUd — Bob Segall (@BobSegallWTHR) March 17, 2020

It’s not the Chinese Virus



It’s the Trump Virus 🦠 #TrumpVirus — David Leavitt (@David_Leavitt) March 17, 2020

David Rothschild, an economist with 53,000 followers, Tweeted: “Cool, back to the racism again. That will stop this virus!”

Actually, had President Trump enacted a total travel ban from China in late January 2020, this would have stopped the virus from coming to America. Now, individuals within the European Union, Hungary, Poland, Russia, and even Canada are closing their borders to protect their citizens from the spread of the China Virus. Is this racist? No, it’s prudent.

And, to once again borrow a phrase from Enoch Powell: “The supreme function of statesmanship is to guard against preventable evils.”

When President Trump correctly calls the coronavirus the China Virus, it is labeled “racism” by Democrats, the corporate media, and anti-white racial advocacy groups in America, because this geographic nomenclature isolates the origin of the problem: not just Wuhan, but China.

And in our current paradigm, where white people are blamed for all the problems in this world, this language is a direct violation of maintaining the status quo.

So, let’s all join in embracing the term “China Virus” and drop calling the coronavirus... the coronavirus.
