PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP is returning to the election campaign and will hold his first rally since his Covid-19 diagnosis Monday in Florida.

President Trump’s campaign team says the event will take place at 7 p.m. in Sanford.

Trump today gave a marathon interview to right-wing talk radio host Rush Limbaugh in which he said that the experimental Regeneron antibody cocktail he took as part of therapeutic treatment was “a cure.”

It is “a total game changer” and “better than a vaccine,” he said.

In fact, there is no cure and there is still no approved vaccine for the coronavirus.

Trump repeatedly claimed that he feels fine and has been backed up by statements from the presidential physician, Sean Conley.

But in his interview in Limbaugh, Trump suggested for the first time that he had been close to death, had it not been for the therapeutic drugs.

“I’m talking to you today about that. I could have been a bad victim, ”he said, referring to his friends who had died from Covid-19.

Trump said doctors later told him, “You were entering a very bad phase.”

“You know what that means,” said the president.

The rally will be President Trump’s first since he tested positive for coronavirus on October 1, with just a few weeks left until voting ends in the November 3 election.

President Trump’s physician, Sean P Conley, said in a memo on Thursday that he “fully anticipated (d)” that he could “return to public engagements” safely on Saturday.
