BUT YOU SAID IT WAS A HOAX

It was just five weeks ago President Donald Trump insisted coronavirus is “going to disappear. One day it’s like a miracle—it will disappear.”

Starting today, almost anyone who will be in the same room with President Donald Trump or Vice President Mike Pence will first have to be tested for coronavirus infection.

“Rapid COVID-19 tests are now being done on everyone who wants to be in room with Trump, starting today,” reports Jennifer Jacobs, the Senior White House reporter for Bloomberg News.
