President Donald Trump delivered an Easter eve prayer, saying America will "honor" the victims of the global coronavirus pandemic by rebuilding the country.
"I love the people of our country, and we are bringing our country back," Trump told Fox News' "Justice" with Judge Jeanine Pirro on Saturday night. "I want to pay deepest love and respect to all the families and friends of those were perished, so sadly. It was so incredible how it came upon us – this invisible enemy. It's just a terrible thing.
"We're going to rebuild it again in honor of those who perished, Jeanine."
The American revival is the best way to honor the fallen, Trump said.
"It's a horrible thing, a lot of pain in the country, a lot of great, great serious pain," Trump said. "But we'll be back bigger and better and stronger than ever before, you watch."
The U.S. has not only moved to issue travel bans and enact social distancing protocols, but it also has passed economic impact aid for distressed Americans and business to help us keep the mitigation policies in place until the infection curve has flattened.
Referencing social distancing and other steps, "words that nobody ever heard before, frankly, and phrases, but if we didn't do that, if we would have bulled through it," Trump said, death estimates would have been unacceptably high.
Ultimately once the worst is behind us, there will be positive things to come, Trump concluded.
"The stimulus, coupled with this pent-up demand and everybody wanting to get out and go back to work, we're going to have a just a tremendous surge," Trump said. "It's going to be like a rocket ship."
