This morning I was listening to the morning news in TV while I was preparing to go and start another busy day, .
Listening to a part of President Trump's yesterday speech, I was thinking he will never change. But then I was shocked when I heard him saying : The virus that came from China.
I don't know how a native English speaker thinks, but for us who English is our second or third language, there's a huge difference between Made By and Came from.
He used to call it Chinese Virus and it struck us as made by, originated by or produced by China. And it made them responsible for what they did to the world.
Now if he says Came From, it simply means that they happened to be the first to be infected and it doesn't make them responsible for that.
My wife smiled and said : Now that he's only several months away from the election, he's more politically protective.
To be true I personally don't like President Trump (and I apologize to all his supporters who read this), but I only respected him for being straight and standing strong for his goals. I used to believe he'll stand his ground no matter what. But if he's going to change for political reasons or whatever else, for me, he's another one standing in that long line of corrupted politicians who do or say anything to keep their seats.
