Earlier this year, Broadway star Nick Cordero died after 95 days of battling the virus which has claimed over 200,000 American lives.
Despite these many deaths, President Donald Trump has continued to downplay the seriousness of the virus, even tweeting that Americans shouldn't be afraid of it after catching it and receiving emergency medical treatment himself.
Now, Cordero's widow, Amanda Kloots, is speaking out against Trump, showing the effect his words can have on a family who lost a loved one because of the pandemic.

Kloots shared a selfie video to her Instagram story and also posted several images trying to convince her followers that the President's attitude was both dangerous and deeply disrespectful.
