‘Can we call Trump a killer?' trends, Angry Internet says ‘yes, next question' as US reels under 124k Covid-19 deaths
US President Donald Trump has been criticized time and again for not taking proper action during the coronavirus crisis. With the death toll rising over 124,000 and counting, people are angry and irate. With Trump's tweet increasing focused toward the upcoming 2020 elections and the negligence on the part of government officials, the worry seems to be on a rise. Moreover, dozens of Secret Service officers and agents who were on site for Trump’s rally in Tulsa last week were ordered to self-quarantine after two of their colleagues tested positive.
