Donald Trump labels coronavirus 'kung flu'

Donald Trump unleashed months of pent-up grievances about the coronavirus, which he dubbed the “Kung flu”, a racist term for Covid-19, which originated in China.

He also tried to defend his handling of the pandemic, even as cases continue to surge in many states.

He complained that robust coronavirus testing was making his record look bad – and suggested the testing effort should slow down.
