Despite the demonstrably non-objective, anti-Trump mainstream media’s relentless attacks against President Donald Trump during the coronavirus pandemic, his approval rating in regard to the virus happens to be faring exceptionally well.
A new ABC News/Ipsos poll published Friday revealed that a 55 percent majority of the American people approve of the president’s handling of the crisis. That’s over a ten-point jump from last week’s poll that had Trump at 43 percent approval.
Nobody tell CNN, which has been impassioned in its attempts to malign the president for his correct usage of the term “Chinese Wuhan coronavirus.”
Case in point:

Trump again calls Coronavirus the “Chinese virus.”
— Jim Acosta (@Acosta) March 19, 2020
Every tweet above boasts a ratio, with the latter one from CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta enjoying a ratio of 1100 percent. Well done.
ABC News reasoned that the rationale behind Trump’s approval might be because he’s taken to “giving daily briefings on the crisis since Saturday, alongside the White House task force leading the response to the coronavirus and announcing some severe measures to combat the virus.”
While true, his approval could also stem in part from the mainstream media’s attacks on him. His approval rating climbed during the Ukraine impeach scam, after all, suggesting the media’s attacks on him have an inverse relationship with his approval rating.
“Trump approval rating hits new high in Gallup poll, despite impeachment trial,” CNBC reported in February.
Fast-forwarding to the present, the media have habitually been spouting Chinese government propaganda concerning the coronavirus pandemic.
“Media rhetoric surrounding what to call coronavirus echoed the Chinese government’s aggressive propaganda campaign designed to absolve the communist regime of wrongdoing,” The Daily Caller notes.
“Both China and members of the establishment media have focused on President Donald Trump’s habit of referring to the virus as a ‘Chinese virus’ or the ‘Wuhan virus,’ which both the communist regime and media members have said is racist.”

“The rush to label the terms as ‘racist’ comes as the Chinese government has amped up propaganda worldwide in an attempt to eschew taking responsibility for the global pandemic,” The Daily Caller adds.
“The oppressive regime has denounced ‘racist’ attempts to link the virus — which originated in China — to China, while at the same time falsely accusing America of bringing the virus to China.”
In fact, a clip emerged Thursday of a so-called “expert” on Chinese state television suggesting the United States created or at least knew of the coronavirus long before anybody else.
“The US pushed out the vaccine so quickly, that only means they have been working on it way before the pandemic,” the so-called expert said. “So we can conclude that the US had this virus in their possession long ago.”

This disinformation has received zero attention from CNN anti-Trump, pro-Democrat propagandists Brian Stelter and Oliver Darcy, both of whom profess to fight misinformation and disinformation, even as their own network regularly propagates Democrat Party misinformation and disinformation.
Instead, the media’s left-wing propagandists have been busy repeating the lie that the Trump administration was caught unaware by the coronavirus.
Fact-check: FALSE.
As usual, the evidence shows the exact opposite.
First, the media were the ones who originally downplayed the virus:
There has been a genre of “official misinformation” where Washington Post, Wired, USA Today, BuzzFeed, etc have posted dangerously trivial headlines comparing coronavirus to the flu.
Fortunately, NYT has been publishing the science from NEJM, Lancet, CDC, WHO. Credit where due. pic.twitter.com/cbkE4ipq10

Second, it’s the Trump administration that took it seriously:
⚠️ THREAD: President @realDonaldTrump took decisive action from the beginning to protect Americans from the Chinese coronavirus.
While Democrats & the media were obsessed with impeachment, President Trump was focused on Americans’ health.

These are the facts …
But sadly, facts seem to have no meaning in the world of the left-wing propagandist. Neither do polls for that matter.
Observe:
Don’t be fooled by one new poll showing Trump getting 55% of Americans approving of his job on the coronavirus – a poll two days ago says 60% don’t believe anything Trump says on the virus. Always Look at polling trends-not just one poll on any political issue

@ABC must have polled only the tin foil hat wearing communities in American when they concluded that 55% of Americans approved of trump’s handling of the crisis. How is that possible when the pandemic in the US was exacerbated by trump’s bumbling and ineptitude?

55% of Americans are clueless. https://t.co/sRJKt6AMqA

The only thing that appears to be real in their world is whatever they happen to be feeling, regardless of the actual truth.
