The president is back with an appearance, but the debate about his health does not end there. Trump wants to go on an election campaign tour starting Monday.
Washington. meSome supporters in the crowd outside the White House balcony wore masks. The president, of course, did not use one. “I feel great!” Donald Trump yelled to his fans. Supporters of the Black and Latino community had turned out for his campaign appearance on the South Lawn of the White House. “More opportunity, security, fairness, transparency and prosperity for Blacks and Latinos,” the president promised his enthusiastic supporters. Three weeks before the November 3 presidential election, Trump is trying to mobilize these socially weaker voters, who are particularly suffering the consequences of the crown crisis.
It was Trump’s first campaign appearance since he was diagnosed with Covid on October 1 and subsequent admission to a hospital. Of course, it was still unclear whether the president survived the infectious disease. His personal physician, Sean Conley, said Saturday night (local time) that the latest coronavirus test had shown according to “currently recognized standards” that the president “no longer poses a transmission risk to others.” Trump can now, about ten days after the first symptoms appear, end his voluntary quarantine according to the criteria of the CDC’s health authority, the doctor said.
Positive or negative?
Tests over the course of his illness had shown a steadily decreasing concentration of virus, Conley continued. It will continue to monitor Trump, who returns to “his active schedule.” The president has been fever-free for many hours, “all symptoms” have “improved,” Conley noted. However, he did not provide any information on what symptoms were still detectable in Trump and to what extent. Also, the doctor never explicitly wrote that Trump’s last corona test was negative. Therefore, it seemed possible that the most recent test was still positive due to a low virus concentration.
Trump made a longer television appearance for the first time on Friday, but on Saturday he only appeared for 20 minutes, leading to speculation about his possible still-ill health.
Trump’s message to his followers was clear: he warned of an electoral victory for his Democratic rival, Joe Biden, whose program was “socialist” or even “communist.” The democratic politician would plunge the country into a crisis. Biden, 77, cannot rule the country, Trump said.
After his illness, Trump has little time to catch up with Biden in the polls. And Trump doesn’t want to waste any more time. His team announced major campaign appearances on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in states that are important to the election: therefore dates are planned in Florida, Pennsylvania and Iowa.
It also downplayed the risk of the pandemic in its most recent appearance. “She will go away and the vaccines will help and the resources to treat her will help a lot,” Trump said. The “China virus” will be defeated once and for all. However, many experts consider Trump’s forecasts for the pandemic to be too optimistic and accuse him of failure. According to data from Johns Hopkins University, about 7.7 million people in the country of 330 million people were infected with the coronavirus and 214,000 people died.
The problem is causing the Trump administration to face yet another billion-dollar crown stimulus package. Democrats in the House of Representatives rejected a government compromise proposal. The offer does not offer a conclusive plan to control the corona pandemic. Apparently, his goal is to get Trump as much money as possible before the election, which he can dispose of as he sees fit, criticized the Speaker of the House of Parliament, Nancy Pelosi.
The unpleasant news also affected the president through a “New York Times” investigation. According to this, business leaders, associations and foreign governments have been making extensive use of their hotel infrastructure since the Trump presidency. Thus, Trump’s family business benefited financially, and in return, lobbyists could be sure that the president would listen to their political messages. (Reuters / APA / DPA / som)
