Praying for President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump as they battle Coronavirus. In Mississippi, we know the power of prayer. We know that it is real, and that God heals. Let’s get a prayer team going for the President as he leads the country even while sick!

I, along with all Americans, pray for the safe recovery of our President and First Lady. Their personal health should be paramount to any other concern, including political.

Praying for President Trump and his wife. States and localities should be careful when opening up. After this, we all should follow the advice of the health professionals. This pandemic is not a hoax. #WearAMask
