President Trump announced Friday that he and the First Lady have tested positive for the Chinese Covid-19 virus. Politics aside, our community must reach out to support the recovery of our President and the First Lady. We are all, first of all, Americans… we love our country. The USA is not any one person or party, it is a philosophy of government of personal freedom and lifestyle.
