President Donald Trump remarks at Signing of H.R.748, The CARES Act

Washington, D.C. – THE PRESIDENT Donald Trump:  Well, thank you all very much.  This is a very important day.  I’ll sign the single-biggest economic relief package in American history and, I must say, or any other package, by the way.  It’s twice as large as any relief ever signed.
