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

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!

End China dependency! Enough is enough!
