Coronavirus: Donald Trump said he and first lady Melania tested positive for COVID-19 (File)
Washington:
After months of downplaying its importance, refusing to wear a mask, and holding large campaign rallies as the coronavirus spreads through the United States, United States President Donald Trump has tested positive for Covid-19.
These are some of Trump’s most notable and colorful statements about the disease.
Under control
“We have him totally under control. He is a person who comes from China. He will be fine.”
Trump in January at the beginning of the pandemic.
Miracle
“It’s going to disappear. One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”
Trump still publicly optimistic in February.
The best notes
“I’d rate it a 10.”
Trump gives himself top marks for his response to the virus in March.
No masks
“I just don’t want to be doing – somehow sitting in the Oval Office behind that beautiful Resolute Desk, the big Resolute Desk, I think with a face mask as I greet presidents, prime ministers, dictators, kings, queens, I don’t know, somehow I don’t see it for myself. I just don’t know. Maybe I’ll change my mind. “
Trump tells the world in April that he doesn’t like wearing face masks.
Prescribe disinfectant
“So I see the disinfectant that removes it in a minute. A minute. And is there a way that we can do something like that, by injecting inside for almost a clean? Because you see it gets into the lungs and does a tremendous number in the lungs, so it would be interesting to check. “
“So, assuming we hit the body with a tremendous light, either ultraviolet or just very powerful, and I think you said, that’s not verified, but you’re going to test it. And then I said, assuming it brought the light into the body , what it can do through the skin or some other way. “
