CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Over the past several months, the hardships of the coronavirus have lowered our country’s blood and platelet supply to critical levels, and the need to donate blood has never been more acute… Many of our Nation’s blood banks are operating with depleted stocks, and the majority of them rarely have on hand more than a single day’s supply of Type O blood, which is critical because it can be used to meet the blood needs of any patient. During this challenging time, let us commit to raising awareness of the lifesaving act of donating blood.”
-Donald Trump, “Presidential Message on World Blood Donor Day, 2020,” whitehouse.gov, June 14, 2020
