tedcruz PLEASE: BAN CHINA from purchasing any American companies, corporations or real estate during our economic downturn/coming depression. China has the money to destroy us and our soverignty! PROHIBIT China purchases of companies traded on the US stock market!

tedcruz Don't you just love company's who can do things to help America.

tedcruz After overcoming the disease, CCP need to pay for everything!

tedcruz And when this present unpleasantness is over, these hospital supplies should ALL be made in the USA. No more depending upon Communist China for essential items!

tedcruz China increased its mask production by 100x in two weeks

tedcruz At a time of crisis in our nation it is inconceivable that the WSJ blocks its Coronavirus related information from non subscribers while on the other hand Hollywood is making new movies available to all. SHAME! realDonaldTrump

tedcruz Gee I wonder if it took the President telling them to do this?

tedcruz WHAT? and they didn't have to be ORDERED to do so by the Trumpet? HOW is this POSSIBLE?

Then do it

Keep spirits high!

Everyone should be wearing masks and hardly anyone is. There aren't any to be had. All the numbnuts that loiter behind Trump at the podium EVERY effing time he speaks should not be there. If they must be huddled there, they should have masks on.

Hurry up guys!

Does these dopist know overdose of sleeping pill can also kill?

End China dependency! Enough is enough!
