President Trump says flags will be lowered to half-staff “over the next three days” to honor coronavirus victims
Michigan AG: Trump is "like a petulant child" for not wearing a mask at Ford plantin front of cameras during his visit to a Ford manufacturing plant today, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel did not hold back in her condemnation.
