Proclamation on the National Day of Prayer for all Americans Affected by the Coronavirus Pandemic and for our National Response Efforts
HEALTHCARE

Issued on: March 14, 2020

In our times of greatest need, Americans have always turned to prayer to help guide us through trials and periods of uncertainty. As we continue to face the unique challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic, millions of Americans are unable to gather in their churches, temples, synagogues, mosques, and other houses of worship. But in this time we must not cease asking God for added wisdom, comfort, and strength, and we must especially pray for those who have suffered harm or who have lost loved ones. I ask you to join me in a day of prayer for all people who have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic and to pray for God’s healing hand to be placed on the people of our Nation.

As your President, I ask you to pray for the health and well-being of your fellow Americans and to remember that no problem is too big for God to handle. We should all take to heart the holy words found in 1 Peter 5 : “Casting all your care upon him, for he careth for you.” Let us pray that all those affected by the virus will feel the presence of our Lord’s protection and love during this time. With God’s help, we will overcome this threat.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim March 15, 2020, as a National Day of Prayer for All Americans Affected by the Coronavirus Pandemic and for our National Response Efforts. I urge Americans of all faiths and religious traditions and backgrounds to offer prayers for all those affected, including people who have suffered harm or lost loved ones.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourteenth day of March, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-fourth.

DONALD J. TRUMP

Another political move for the gullible. Sounds nice.

I guess that's all you can do is hope and pray because the obese guy in the bright red hat and loaded Depends doing cameos and living in a delusional self-image of a natural anything and everything while pretending to be pResident while wishing and hoping to be the King of the United States is actually your worst nightmare in an emergency and will be sure to botch the whole thing because of his daily dictatorial requirements of 1000 IUs of Fascistium derived from human stock.

That was just a sign off. YAOYO! Now, get to prayin' and hope something works out in spite of the Prince of Darkness having a protracted scuffle with reality during his Reign. He did try orange instead of black or red and even that's not helping.

Ah, you got ta' love political sentiments as a means to manipulate people though. Most of us can't even imagine the Bulbous Baphomet having any thoughts of his own that correspond with that statement, at all. I wonder who wrote it? It's a foreign language to the Staple Gentile.
