Donald Trump: return to the White House with pathos



[ad_1]

Donald Trump spent three nights in the hospital due to his corona infection. Now the president of the United States is back in the White House and will continue his treatment there.

And Trump wouldn’t be Trump if he hadn’t made this comeback a great public relations show.

Donald Trump, President of the United States:
“I just got out of Walter Reed Hospital and that is really special: the doctors, the nurses. I have learned a lot about the coronavirus and one thing is very clear: do not let it rule your life. Do not be afraid. You will beat it. We have the best drugs, the best medical equipment, all newly developed. “

Trump proved to be a strong leader.

Donald Trump, President of the United States:
“We are the best country in the world, we are going to go back to work, abroad. As their leader, I had to do this. I knew it was dangerous, but I had to do it. I was in front, led, all the leaders would have done that. I knew that there was a risk. Now I’m better and maybe now I’m immune, I don’t know. ”

The problem with the narrative: Not all infected people are lucky enough to experience as mild a course as Trump has been doing so far, and not everyone has access to the type of treatment they are receiving. By highlighting how he is personally defeating the virus, seemingly with sheer will, the president makes those who fail appear weak. 215,000 people have already died in connection with the virus in the United States.

Trump even followed up on Twitter and posted his own spectacular video of his return.

No more pathos is possible.

His fans cheered him enthusiastically. What they should be happy about too: Trump announced that he would soon be back on an election campaign tour. Even the second television matchup with Joe Biden on October 15 is now apparently possible again. Probably also because it fits very well into Trump’s history as a strongman.
