Trump wants to defeat Biden like the virus with a return to power

Commemorative coins in memory of US President Donald Trump’s (74) fight against the corona virus can now be purchased at the White House gift shop. The $ 100 coins stamped “Trump Defeated Covid” are now available for pre-order.

“He’s back,” “he’s back,” as Trump’s personal physician put it. The corona patient returned to the White House on Monday with a carefully choreographed show of force. An appearance in which Trump declared himself cured of Covid-19: 72 hours earlier, according to his personal physician, he still had a high fever.

There was also hope among Republicans that Trump would leave the hospital a bit clean and show compassion for the more than 210,000 Americans who have since died from the virus. Instead, the president bragged about having beaten Covid. And that others can do that too.

Trump climbed the stairs to the south balcony, took off his mask demonstratively. According to the doctors, he has not yet crossed the mountain. He’s a guinea pig with the drug cocktail he’s currently swallowing. But as Trump points out, Covid-19 was simply not a challenge for him.

The virus, which has already infected 7.5 million people in his country and could become the tombstone of his presidency, is a surmountable opponent: “Don’t let yourself be dominated. Don’t be afraid of it. You will beat him, “Trump encouraged his fellow citizens in his welcome speech. This, while the president is, according to the latest” CNN “poll with 41 percent behind 57 percent of challenger Joe Biden (77).

It will only help a return to power by the president of the United States. His bombastic return from the hospital to the White House was arranged to convince voters that Trump has the near-superhuman strength to overcome not only Covid-19 but also Biden’s leadership in the polls.

The president is demonstratively powerful and optimistic. “Feel great!” He announced in capital letters on Twitter almost a day after his return to the White House. But around the world there are doubts about Trump’s supposed faster recovery, even his own doctors are warning of a relapse.

During his three-day treatment at Walter Reed Military Hospital, Trump was treated with an experimental antibody drug and steroids, among other things. Meanwhile, a heated discussion has erupted about how the steroid dexamethasone prescribed by Trump could affect the president’s psyche.

Trump seems hyperactive, euphoric even, just to name the 15 tweets in 27 minutes he wrote in capital letters from his hospital bed. Tonight he tweeted 17 times in three hours. Although, according to doctors, he is ill, Trump is really getting going. Which could sometimes be a consequence of the anti-inflammatory steroid hormone dexamethasone, which doctors actually only prescribe for severe Covid 19 disease.

According to the New York Times, the side effects of the drug are megalomania, mania or even delirium and psychosis. The “New York Magazine” said pulmonologist Dr. Bryan McVerry of the University of Pittsburgh, the steroid can “activate and energize.”

It is not clear in what dosage Trump will be prescribed the strong drug or if he is still taking it. But the US election campaign is in the final round. Everything is at stake for Trump. There is tremendous pressure on the most powerful man in the world.
