Nine days after testing positive for Covid-19, President Donald Trump spoke on Saturday October 10 to several hundred of his supporters gathered on the lawns of the White House. It was his first public appearance since returning to the Presidents’ official residence after being hospitalized with Covid-19.
” I’m fine ! “, he said, all smiles, after removing his mask as soon as he arrived at the microphone. In front of a masked crowd shouting “Four more years! “, Mr. Trump said: “I want you to know that our nation will defeat this terrible Chinese virus”. “We are producing powerful therapies and drugs, we are curing the sick, we are going to recover and the vaccine is going to arrive very, very quickly, in record time”, he assured.
“Science and medicine will eradicate the Chinese virus once and for all, we will get rid of it all over the world. You see big outbreaks in Europe, in Canada (…), but it will disappear, it is disappearing and the vaccines will help ”, he judged.
During this speech of barely twenty minutes, he urged his electoral base to go to the polls and hammered home the theme of security, ensuring that the Republican party had the support of the country’s police forces.
Resumption of campaign meetings
His campaign team has also announced that he will hold a series of election rallies next week: Monday in Florida, Tuesday in Pennsylvania, Wednesday in Iowa.
The White House refused to disclose the result of the leader’s latest Covid-19 test and declined to say whether it was negative. If he repeats that he feels ” very good “, Donald Trump’s state of health remains shrouded in a certain mystery as the communication from his doctor Sean Conley was opaque and not very rigorous. “I haven’t been taking medication for about eight hours”, assured the tenant of the White House Friday evening, during his first filmed interview, broadcast on Fox News.
