Trump reports from hospital with video

AUS President Donald Trump himself has emphasized that the coming days will likely be decisive for the course of his coronavirus infection. “I’m starting to feel good again,” Trump said in a new hospital video message. In the coming days, however, “the real test” will come: “we’ll see what happens,” said the president. The White House had emphasized on Friday that Trump had only mild symptoms and was only brought to the clinic as a precaution.

“When I came here, I didn’t feel so good. Now I feel much better, ”Trump said in the video posted Saturday night (local time). His voice sounded a little thick and he seemed like he was out of breath. “I have to go back because we still have to make America great again,” the president said, referring to his campaign slogan. “I think I’ll be back soon.”

“I had no choice”

At the same time, Trump defended his approach in recent months, in which he made many public appearances and campaign trips, and often did so without precautionary measures such as wearing a mask. “I had no other choice, I couldn’t stay in the White House,” he said. “As a leader, you have to address the issues.” Heading into the November 3 presidential election, Trump said he wanted to “end the campaign as it started.”

Trump’s doctors had previously spoken out about his health. He is doing “very well” and is “very happy” with the patient’s health. Journalists who normally accompany the president, however, cited an informed source that the president’s readings over the past 24 hours had been “very disturbing.” The next 48 hours are crucial. “We are not yet on a clear path to full recovery.”

News of the infection of Trump and his wife Melania shook the United States to the core a month before the election. The president’s challenger, Democrat Joe Biden, took a crown test. His result was negative.
