Internet pounds Trump for suggesting his border wall will help stop the coronavirus: Build it around 'Cruz and Gaetz'

President Donald Trump drew condemnation for exploiting the coronavirus outbreak to push for his border wall.

The president retweeted a post from ardent supporter Charlie Kirk, founder and head of the conservative Turning Point USA, calling for a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border to stop the spread of the virus.

Other social media users pounded the president -- and his acolyte -- for using the crisis to promote his controversial campaign promise, along with some casual bigotry.
