Elections in the United States: Donald Trump tells his followers that he will ‘kiss everyone’ at the rally

Donald Trump has declared that he feels “powerful” at his first big rally since his coronavirus hospitalization, and boasts that he is “immune” and could “walk through the crowd and kiss everyone.”

“One good thing for me is that I got through it,” the president of the United States told a tight audience at Orlando Sanford International Airport in Sanford, Florida on Monday.

“I feel so powerful. I will walk into that crowd, I will kiss everyone in that audience. I will kiss the guys, I will kiss the beautiful women, I will give everyone a big fat kiss.”

Trump said “it gives you a good feeling when you win something and you are immune.”

It comes a day after Twitter censored him for making that claim.

Twitter said the post violated its rules on spreading misleading and potentially harmful information related to Covid-19.

Trump said at the rally that he did not know how long the alleged immunity would last, as doctors changed their minds because “they want it to be as bad as possible.”

He also spoke about the development of “therapies and cures” for the virus, saying that “we are now 90 percent better than six months ago” for people who were infected.

“With kids it’s 99.9 percent, you’re going to be fine,” he said. “They have better immune systems.”

Previously, he had attributed his recovery to an experimental antibody cocktail produced by the biotech company Regeneron.

The US president also took advantage of recent comments from the World Health Organization to steer clear of the lockdowns.

WHO official Dr. David Nabaro went viral over the weekend after calling on world leaders to “stop using locks as the primary control method” for the coronavirus in an interview with The Spectator.

“The World Health Organization, did you see what happened?” Trump said.

“They just came out a while ago and they admitted that Donald Trump was right. The lockdowns are doing tremendous damage to these Democratic-controlled states where they are locked up, sealed off: suicide rates, alcoholism, death in many ways.” – you can not do that “.

Trump thanked Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for reopening his state.

“You are open and open for business and you are doing very well,” he said.

“We have to remember that the cure cannot be worse than the problem itself.”

He criticized “draconian and unscientific closures” but suggested that people could stay home if they were vulnerable.

“If you don’t feel good going out, stay, relax, you know the risk groups, but if you want to go out, get out,” he said. “Normal life, that’s all we want, a normal life.”

Trump claimed that if it weren’t for his administration’s response to the coronavirus, the death toll would have been 2.2 million instead of 210,000.

“We shouldn’t be one (death) away,” he said, again attacking China for allowing it to “get away.”

He struck out at Democratic rival Joe Biden, saying he would have done a much worse job, pointing to the former vice president’s handling of the H1N1 swine flu response.

“He always calls it ‘N1H1,'” Trump said. “I said, ‘No, Joe, the H comes first.’ But it was a disaster the way they did it, it was a total catastrophe. “

He added that Biden “called me a xenophobe” for banning travel from China in January, but “finally admitted that I am right.”

“Nobody acted fast like me, I also closed Europe, and the conclusion is that we saved millions of lives,” he said.

It came hours after Trump’s doctor said he had repeatedly tested negative for Covid-19.

The President of the United States was airlifted to Walter Reed Military Hospital on October 2 after testing positive and subsequently experiencing shortness of breath.

He was hospitalized for four days and returned to the White House last Monday night.

Since then, the 74-year-old has boasted of his speedy recovery, describing himself as a “perfect physical specimen” and “extremely young” in an interview with Fox News on Thursday.

At the rally, Trump criticized the media for verifying his tongue-in-cheek comment.

“They said, ‘Donald Trump misrepresented again.’ These people are the sickest of all, “he said.

Observers at the rally noted that the president seemed particularly energetic.

“Is anybody looking at (Donald Trump)? Maybe it’s just pent-up energy after 10 days out of the way, but does he seem to be particularly enthusiastic about you?” former Obama White House official David Axelrod tweeted.

Jack Posobiec of the pro-Trump cable channel One America News Network wrote: “I was at rallies with Trump before he entered the hospital and he looks even stronger tonight at his first rally back.”
