The f**k is wrong with that video?! People don't owe him respect, as much as you hate it America is a democracy. In a democracy the head of state is just another person.

Notice no one treats Biden this way.  He's not had a tough or adversarial question for the entire campaign.

Good for Trump.  
It's infuriating, the MSM practically carried him throughout the primary season and the election campaign. Instead of confronting him on his flip-flopping on the China plague, fracking, Ukraine, his son taking advantage of vulnerable women, left-wing violence, warmongering, etc, they ask him what ice cream flavors he likes.

They're not real journalists, they are paid propagandists, tools for the neoliberal establishment and their psychotic plans.

I'm going to put everything else aside for a moment and just comment on you using the term "China plague."  You understand that that is racist rhetoric that causes immense harm to Chinese Americans, right? 

If your answer is "no it doesn't," then you're either stupid, ignorant, or both.

COVID-19 came from China.  That fact should not be overlooked.  Never.  That fact should also not be forgotten.  China is responsible for COVID-19, and there should be no letting them off the hook, rhetorically or otherwise.

China ought to be named and blamed early and often on COVID-19.

It's a disease that happened to get out of control within an arbitrary geographic grouping. It could just as easily have arisen in another country, maybe even in US factory farms. It doesn't know boundaries and doesn't discriminate based on nationality. In fact, China's government seems more competent than most Western ones especially the US one based on the contrasting death tolls, so it would be odd to name it after a country where it is less prevalent. The exact timeline of the spread is unclear-what is the latest point it could have been contained and could Italy have prevented it becoming a full-blown pandemic? At the very least, the actions of other governments helped accelerate its spread around the globe. Ultimately, making a point about the virus' name is harmful because it encourages racism, and imo this is an ignorant, counter-productive nationalist game-not worth playing.
