Coronavirus: Trump has declared major disaster in all 50 states at once, first time in history
By Michael Ruiz | Fox News

    President Trump issued a major disaster declaration for Wyoming on Saturday, meaning that there is now such a declaration within all 50 states due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

It is the first time a president has ever declared a major disaster in all 50 states at once, according to Deputy Press Secretary Judd Deere.

The move comes as confirmed cases of the coronavirus reached at least 519,453 as of Saturday afternoon. At least 20,071 people have died in the U.S. due to the disease, a death toll surpassing the one in hard-hit Italy -- and a figure that has doubled, from 10,000 to more than 20,000, in just five days. Worldwide, confirmed cases have surpassed 1.75 million, and more than 100,000 people have died.

Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon formally sought the declaration on Thursday in a letter to the president. The state had seen more than 200 cases of the coronavirus at that time.

I take no joy in pointing out this is another record for President Trump's legacy.  His detractors will unfairly point to this as evidence of President Trump's inept handling of the virus.  I would point to it as evidence that my President is marshaling the full power of the federal government and the private sector to protect the American people.

I feel bad for him and pray for his wisdom daily
