The president of United States, Donald trump, hospitalized after having contracted the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus that causes Covid-19, woke up this Monday with a cascade of messages on Twitter asking for the vote.

Starting at 6.30 a.m. Washington time (7.30 a.m. Chilean time), Trump began to tweet wildly short messages and all in capital letters urging his followers to vote for him, mentioning slogans of his campaign and alleged achievements of his administration.

Trump was transferred on Friday to the Walter Reed Military Hospital, in Bethesda, Maryland, outside Washington, after testing positive for Covid-19 and experiencing a drop in blood oxygen and fever.

“Peace Through Force (Bringing Our Soldiers Home)”, “Protecting the Second Amendment (Defending the Right to Guns)”, “Fighting Corrupt and False Media”, “Better Health Care and cheaper “Trump wrote, always followed by the petition to vote.

“Provida, vote!”, “Massive reduction of regulations, vote!”, “Space force, vote!”, “Stronger Army, vote!”, “Bigger tax cut than ever and another to come Vote! “,” Religious freedom, vote! “,” Law and order, vote! “were some of Trump’s tweets.

The president also took the opportunity to attack his opponent in the November 3 elections, the Democrat Joe biden, and told voters that If you want “a massive tax increase, the largest in the history of our country …, vote for the Democrats.”

Since Friday, the president has improved, according to his medical team, and, although he has registered a second drop in his oxygen levels, he has only shown mild symptoms, so he could be discharged today to continue his treatment with antivirals and steroids in the White House.

“Thank you and remember that the Stock Market is preparing to break its all-time high. NEXT YEAR WILL BE THE BEST OF ALL. VOTE, VOTE, VOTE !!!!”Trump wrote.
