Donald Trump will gather a large crowd in front of the White House today for a “law and order” event. It was only five days after he was released from the hospital.
The president was hospitalized with a corona infection for three days.
The president of the United States will speak from the balcony of the presidential residence facing the south lawn.
Dagbladet TV has a broadcast of the event starting at 7:40 p.m.
This is the first time the president has appeared in public since it was learned that he was infected with corona on October 1. According to The New York Times, more than 2,000 invitations have been sent to the event.
Contempt for Trump
Last night, President Donald Trump was interviewed live by Dr. Marc Siegel. There, Trump himself claimed that the crown is a very contagious disease.
– It is impossible to look at Trump’s contempt for infection control and his obsession with himself and think that that is leadership.
This is what the American expert and senior researcher at the NORCE research center, Hilmar Mjelde, says.
Thus, President Trump continues to use the White House for political events, which he also did when he addressed the Republican National Convention in August.
Several members of the White House and Trump campaign staff now fear this will be perceived as disrespectful, given the 210,000 Americans who have died of COVID-19.
“Superspreder”
The event comes just two weeks after the announcement that Amy Coney Barrett was appointed a Supreme Court Justice. The celebration in Rosehagen is considered a “super spread” event and an event that White House officials see as the possible source of a coronavirus outbreak that has infected Donald Trump, the first lady and a score of others in Trump’s inner circle.

Trump without a mask
A White House source told The New York Times that participants in the event will be sent to a temperature check before being admitted. They must also complete a questionnaire and wear a mask. President Donald Trump does not want to wear a mask.
– What do you think of Trump, against medical advice, now acting politically in public?
– All his life he has behaved as if the rules did not apply to him. He is the president of law and order that breaks all the rules, paradoxically, but he is praised in the MAGA world (an abbreviation for Make America Great Again), says American expert Hilmar Mjelde.

– He can still be a carrier, he has called Kamala Harris a monster and supposedly lacks money for the electoral campaign. Is this a desperate act in the election campaign?
“This looks more and more like the collapse of President Carter in 1980. Trump is still talking about the Hillary Clinton emails, not the American people, even though Hillary Clinton is not running for office,” Mjelde said.
– Why do you think he does this?
– You think you won in 2016 by trusting yourself. But in 2016, he listened to Kellyanne Conway, Newt Gingrich and Rudy Guiliani in the sprint and became relatively disciplined. It’s kind of a bunker mentality that we see. Shoot until the powder runs out, Mjelde tells Dagbladet.
– Trump can no longer turn the race on his own, if the measures are correct. Now you need some external event: a Biden collapse or something.
– What do you think happens if he has a “relapse” and becomes even more ill?
– The United States seems to be exhausted by Trump. Suggests a number of newspaper reports, also among conservative voters.
Professor Audun Helge Nerland of the University of Bergen (UIB) believes that Donald Trump’s speech from a contagious point of view is not entirely without problems.
– If you are standing on a balcony with a long enough distance to the audience, then I think it may be fine. There is talk of a distance of one or two meters, so Trump probably will not infect the audience from a balcony, Nerland tells Dagbladet.
– The biggest failure in history
Risk of spreading infections
The professor, who works in the clinical department of the UIB, makes a reservation that we do not know the details of the president’s coronary disease.
– If the infection is still positive, Trump should not be around people. So it is very contagious and everyone who works in or near the White House is at risk of becoming infected. If it’s negative, it means you’ve carried the infection for a long time and may have passed it on over a longer period to more people, Nerland says.
However, he emphasizes that if the president maintains a good distance, there is no great danger of the spread of the infection.
– I do not support Donald Trump politically, but we must be so real as to say that in this situation he will probably not infect the public. Another question is whether the audience will rub off on each other. If you gather two thousand people for such an event, they need to keep a safe distance from each other.
