Just like in the aftermath of school shootings that take dozens of lives too soon, Melania Trump is offering mere “thoughts and prayers” to the families of more than 4,000 Americans who have perished as a result of her husband’s recklessness.
Again, over 4,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus and nearly 200,000 have been infected across the country. The death toll is currently projected to skyrocket over the coming weeks and could reach as high as 240,000.
Yet President Donald Trump has failed to send desperately-needed resources to many states, and hospitals are running out of ventilators, masks, gowns, gloves and other vital supplies.
But instead of urging her husband — who has not even bothered to tweet condolences to those who are suffering and losing people — to take the necessary and proper actions, Melania is only offering “thoughts and prayers,” a phrase that gets more insulting every time it is used.
Sincere condolences to the families who have lost love ones to #COVID19, and to anyone who is sick, you are in our thoughts & prayers to get better soon.

Twitter users were not amused.
They don’t need your prayers, they need masks.

Imagine if you all had taken action earlier… Thoughts and prayers would not be needed.
You didn’t speak up when your husband was making light of this situation.

If only the Federal Governemnt was willing do more than offer thoughts and prayers.

This crisis is not going to end any time soon. Americans need more than “thoughts and prayers” to survive the pandemic. They need real leadership. And the Trumps just aren’t cutting it, meaning every single death is on them.
