a DICTATOR IS BORN
United States President Donald Trump declared a national emergency on Friday over the spread of the coronavirus, noting the move will make up to $50 billion available for the fight against the disease. Trump stressed today’s action also includes asking hospitals to activate “emergency preparedness plans” and providing the Department of Health and Human Services with the power to waive laws in order to give medical professionals flexibility in dealing with the virus. According to the US president, the country already made “tremendous” progress and will ultimately defeat COVID-19 as a result of his administration’s decisive actions. Trump pointed out the emergency declaration was necessary as some “old and obsolete” rules could not work under such “mass circumstances.”
