U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly used the term "Chinese virus" to describe COVID-19, prompting outrage from many civil rights groups and Asian-Americans. At his campaign rally on Saturday, Trump went further in his use of racist language, with the use of "kung flu." "Without question, it has more names than any disease in history," said President Trump, "I can name 'kung flu'. I can name 19 different versions of names."
