President Donald Trump traveled to a naval base in Virginia Saturday to see off the USNS Comfort, a hospital ship loaned out by the U.S. Navy for deployment in the COVID-19 response effort.
“This great ship behind me is a 70,000-ton message of hope and solidarity to the incredible people of New York,” Trump said, standing in front of the ship as it stood moored at Naval Station Norfolk. “We’re here for you, we’re fighting for you, and we’re with you all the way.”
