On Tuesday, October 5th, ABC News released the headline, “Families of COVID-19 victims slam president’s downplaying of his diagnosis.”
Hours before he was released from a hospital stay for his coronavirus diagnosis Monday, President Trump tweeted his thoughts on the pandemic that’s killed over 210,000 Americans, saying, “Don’t be afraid.”
On Twitter, supporters of the president praised his strength and hailed his message, calling him “Our beloved President” and “BEST PRESIDENT EVER!”
Thomas Robb, the National Director of the Knights Party, based in Harrison Arkansas said, “You would think that the American people would be glad to see our President recovering from this Chinese flu so quickly. But the mainstream media knows this proves that COVID-19 isn’t a death sentence for the average American. There goes months of hype, and instilling fear into American citizens. Our President has it…..he said, ‘dont be afraid,’ and this drives the media crazy.”
