Trump crossed out 'corona' and replaced it with 'Chinese' in his press conference notes....

Looks like a Sharpie was used. Old news but I missed it--maybe other did also.







Trump crossed out 'corona' and replaced it with 'Chinese' in his press conference notes


By Tim Marcin Mar 19, 2020

President Trump's notes got a striking edit in Sharpie on Thursday.


You can clearly see the key change in a photo taken of the remarks he made on Thursday during a press conference about the new coronavirus that's spreading across the U.S. The word "corona" was crossed out and replace with "Chinese." The president has defended calling COVID-19 — the sickness that develops from the virus — the "Chinese virus," despite lots of other folks calling that moniker racist.

From a cursory glance, the handwriting on the president's notes on Thursday looks like Trump's handwriting. And we have plenty of evidence that he likes to mark his papers up with sharpies.
