Donald Trump’s coronavirus symptoms evidently worsened Friday — after he tested positive for the disease Thursday night — and the president was rushed by helicopter to Walter Reed hospital just north of Washington, D.C.

This is the most severe health threat (that we know of, anyway) to a sitting president since the assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan nearly 40 years ago.

The American people deserve to know exactly what’s going on.

Donald Trump must agree to let independent medical experts evaluate his condition and tell the American public what’s going on.

Add your name if you agree.

Donald Trump has tested positive for COVID-19.

How sick is he?

Here’s one thing for sure: We can’t trust what the White House says.

Add your name:

Donald Trump must agree to let independent medical experts evaluate his condition and tell the American public what’s going on.

It seems clear that the White House aimed to suppress news about top Trump aide Hope Hicks testing positive for the coronavirus.

And knowing about Hicks’ positive test, Donald Trump traveled to a fundraiser, where he was in close proximity to dozens of people when he should have been in quarantine.

Those developments just add to the mounds of evidence demonstrating that we can’t trust the White House to be truthful about Trump’s health.

That includes efforts to hide information about a mysterious trip to Walter Reed hospital last year, preposterous claims that he would be the “healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency,” and, of course, the steady stream of lies and disinformation from Trump and the White House about the pandemic itself.

Now, above all, we need the truth.

To provide confidence to the American people that they know what’s going on, Donald Trump must agree to let independent medical experts evaluate him regularly and have complete access to his medical records — so there can be timely, truthful, and fulsome public reports on his condition.

Add your name.

Thanks for taking action.

Stay safe.
