President Trump On The CoronaVirus COVID-19 Pandemic

President Trump aired this announcement last night live about what his administration is accomplishing to keep Americans safe from the coronavirus covid-19. At a time when both political parties should come together, the usual bad actors are doing their best to make his administration look bad. People are DYING yet Democrats and their media partners (lobbyists for the ‘DNC’) are spreading hatred, misinformation, and outright lies to the public. 😡

Despite all the negativity from ABC CBS CNN NBC (add the other assholes here) are spreading, President Donald J. Trump Has Taken Unprecedented Steps To Respond To The Coronavirus And Protect The Health And Safety Of Americans.

I’m not taking any unnecessary chances when frequenting public establishments. Do not be intimidated into stopping eating out or other usual activities. Just proceed with caution. Avoid shaking hands or making contact with strangers. I carry this little bottle of hand sanitizer in my pocket, and use a napkin to open doors etc. Better safe than sorry!

From whitehouse.gov: Together we are putting into policy a plan to prevent, detect, treat and create a vaccine against coronavirus to save lives in America and the world. America will get it done!
