President Donald Trump took to Twitter on April 12 to offer Easter greetings to Americans on lockdown as the national toll from the CCP virus pandemic surpassed 21,300 deaths and more than half a million confirmed cases.

“For Christians all over America, this is holy week. We remember the resurrection of Jesus Christ, so important but this Easter will be much different than others because in many cases we‘ll be separated physically only from our churches. We won’t be sitting there next to each other, which we’d like to be and soon will be again. But right now, we’re keeping separation, we’re getting rid of the plague. It’s a plague on our country like nobody’s ever seen. But we’re winning the battle, we’re winning the war. We'll be back together in churches right next to each other. Celebrate, bring the family together like no other. We have a lot to be thankful for. Happy Easter everybody,” he said in the published video clip.
