Granted Trump is not a doctor and the ones behind the scenes have been compromised by people like Gates which I’m sure he’s aware. Trump has gone above the call of duty to try to keep the citizens as stable as they can during this shut down, calling for any resources available. Never let a crisis go to waist is predominately coming from the left to attack or liberties and their desire to bring this country down in a power play including our second amendment shows just how bad they could get if they were in power and would get worse from there.
