Trump acted swiftly

Tue., Oct. 20, 2020

Trump restricted travel from China on Jan 31 when there were just 6 Covid-19 cases and no deaths per CDC. Biden said he would not have shut out China travelers.

Trump restricted travel from Europe on March 12 when there were 209 Covid-19 cases and 4 deaths per CDC. Biden slammed Trump’s action as xenophobic and disapproved of the travel ban.

Trump acted swiftly to protect America from COVID-19.

Vote for Trump. Biden’s choices are bad for America.
