Every day we see him violate his own safe practices by being less then 6 feet from others, but when has rules ever applied to him for anything. By claiming it was a hoax caused many to get this now, and his refusal to respond after warnings were given to him makes me wonder if he intentionally did this, and just could care less about protecting the American people. Its all an act to now con people into believing others were at fault, it was a hoax , and Democrats were lying claiming it could get really bad. Well trump supporters who was telling the truth now, is this still a hoax?

The governors, mayors and county governments are the ones who put social distancing in place and the ones with power to decide. Trump had nothing to do with it, so how could he possibly extend it or end it?
