I suspect that Trump all-caps tweet is a livetweet of Fox from tonight (though obviously @MattGertz would know for sure). Host Steve Hilton used similar language. (No way that Trump read that Medium piece)

and like 'Make America Great Again', it's easy for his followers to digest and (sadly) agree with.

I don't know any right-wingers that I would bother talking to about this, but I can almost guarantee you that amongst themselves they too have adopted it when talking about the COVID-19 response.
