How Donald Trump tries to dispel the impression that corona infection has hit him hard.
Donald Trump is the President of the United States. At the same time is Patient at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he has been in hospital treatment since Friday for an infection with Sars-CoV-2. Above all, Donald Trump is an electoral activist. November 3 is Election Day in the United States. Although it would be necessary to be more precise: the deadline in which Americans can vote for the next president ends on November 3.
More than three million voters by mail and in advance have already done so. And some did so under the impression of television images in which Trump could be seen on his way to the hospital, infected with a dangerous pathogen. These images were accompanied by reports that explained how bad the president was at times.
The photos are presumably posed
In this sense, it is understandable that Donald Trump wants to give a new twist to the report. The president malade: it is difficult to win an election. Therefore, the White House has been posting photos regularly since the weekend showing Trump working at the hospital. Sometimes he reads files, sometimes he signs papers.
Presumably the images are posed, but it’s open if Trump really does a lot of work. In any case, they prove – as well as the small video messages that Trump sendst -, that the president is not terminally ill.
That was also the message of the short exit that Trump Sunday afternoon promised to thank his fans. Dozens of supporters of the president have been standing in front of the entrance door to the hospital for days. Reactions were divided, as is always the case when Trump does something.
Indignation erupted in the democratic field. The president was contagious, he had endangered the lives of the Secret Service officials who were accompanying him in the car for a public relations campaign, was the indictment. In the Republican field, of course, things were seen differently. Trump, even being a Covid 19 patient, made more public appearances than his Democratic challenger Joe Biden, blasphemed against the president’s supporters.
By Monday morning, Trump was at least healthy enough to get up early and start tweeting at 6:19 a.m.
By Monday morning, Trump was at least healthy enough to get up early and start tweeting at 6:19 a.m. He fired a full load, 19 of them at 7.14 a.m., most in capital letters. «HIGHS ON THE STOCK MARKET. VOTE! “,” LAW. VOTE! »,« LIFE PRO! VOTE! »,« SAVE OUR SECOND AMENDMENT. VOTE! »Trump is not the only person with access to the @realDonaldTrump Twitter account, but an employee is also unlikely to write a morning volley on his own.
The problem for Trump, however, remains that he will only be able to campaign in a very limited way for the foreseeable future, even if he leaves the hospital quickly. His team had planned a whole series of big events for the coming weeks, which Trump likes so much and which is in stark contrast to Biden’s appearances, where only a few people are usually present to guard against infection. But if the president rallies again even after surviving a corona infection becomes wait können, where hundreds of visitors stay together and get infected, is open.
Is there a second debate?
The same applies to the second candidate debate between Trump and Biden, which is scheduled for October 15. Even if Trump returns to the White House this week, he won’t have time to self-quarantine for the recommended 14 days before the debate.
Joe Biden, however, should have little inclination to stand on stage for 90 minutes in a closed room with a possibly contagious debate partner only feet away.
