Trump’s return from coronavirus hospitalization: “I’m fine”

WASHINGTON – US President Donald Trump appeared from the White House balcony at his first public event since he was hospitalized for Covid last week. He was greeted with long applause and “USA” choruses from those present. “Thank you, please continue to have this enthusiasm until the vote,” Trump said. “I’m fine,” he said later without wearing the mask. A thousand people to hear it. Many, US media reported, in the crowd do not wear masks. “I want you to know that our nation will defeat the Chinese virus.” “We are producing powerful therapies.” “The vaccine is coming very soon.” “With American spirit and science we will eradicate the virus,” he said of Covid.

Then it immediately took on an electoral campaign tone, although officially the event should not have been an election-related rally: “Sleepy Joe Biden has betrayed African Americans and Latin Americans, if you think he can handle this country, you are wrong,” he argued. referring to the Democratic candidate in the race for the White House and trying to win over two groups that are generally oriented towards the Democratic party. “Another four years, another four years!” The chorus of the crowd gathered to hear him replied. Then he went back to one of his warhorses, the dangers of mail-in voting – which analysts predict will be very big this year and could help Democrats. “There are too many problems in voting by mail.” “We are getting off to a great start this week with the rallies. We cannot allow our nation to become a socialist nation. Or worse.” “Go and vote to win another four years together. This is the most important vote in history,” he concluded.

Trump was confident and energetic, in contrast to the images in which he looked fatigued the day he returned to the White House.
