Donald Trump visited Norfolk, Virginia, on Saturday to send off the USS Comfort, which sails to New York City with medical aid amid the coronavirus fight
“This great ship behind me is a 70,000-ton message of hope and solidarity to the incredible people of New York,” he said while standing in front of the USNS Comfort. “We’re here for you, we’re fighting for you, and we’re with you all the way.”
“We’d like to see New York quarantined because it’s a hotspot — New York, New Jersey, maybe one or two other places, certain parts of Connecticut quarantined. I’m thinking about that right now,” he said. “We might not have to do it but there’s a possibility that sometime today we’ll do a quarantine — short-term two weeks for New York, probably New Jersey and parts of Connecticut.”
“I think I’m going to go out and I’ll kiss it goodbye,” Trump, 73, told reporters on Thursday ahead of his trip.
