CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “We’re opening up America again. Twenty states representing 40 percent of the U.S. population have announced that they are making plans and preparations to safely restart their economies in the very near future… My administration has worked aggressively with Congress to negotiate this critical 482-billion-dollar funding package. We reached a deal that includes $382 billion in crucial small-business support to keep workers on the payroll; $75 billion to aid hospitals, which really need the aid, and very badly — I’m very proud of that; and $25 billion to support coronavirus testing efforts.”

-Donald Trump, “Remarks by President Trump and Members of the Coronavirus Task Force in Press Briefing,” whitehouse.gov, Apr. 21, 2020
