Introduction

I want to assure the American people that we’re doing everything we can each day to confront and ultimately defeat this horrible invisible enemy. We’re at war, in a true sense, we’re at war, and we’re fighting an invisible enemy... A number of people have said it, but, and I feel it actually, I’m a wartime president, there’s a war, there’s a war, different kind of a war that we’ve ever had. Donald J. Trump, 45 President of the United States, 23 March 2020.
