The American president, infected by the corona virus, went to the hospital on the advice of his personal doctor. True, people around him say Donald Trump is in a good mood, but until Friday night the White House refrained from informing the public in detail about the health status of America’s most important patient.
The news came late, but at least it came. On Friday at 6.30 p.m. (local time), after being silent all day, US President Donald Trump assured an insecure country that everything was fine for him. Trump, who tested positive for the corona virus late Friday, posted an 18-second video on short message service Twitter in which he briefly provided information on how to proceed. He is now going to Walter Reed Military Hospital on the outskirts of Washington, the president said, looking directly at the camera. But he “thinks” that “he’s doing very well.” The hospital stay is necessary for everything to go well. Trump also said that his wife Melania, who was also infected with the virus, was “very well.” The 74-year-old man thanked his followers for their good wishes.

By this time, the American public already knew that Trump was under constant observation by his personal physician and that he was taking a real drug cocktail, including an experimental antibody drug from the biopharmaceutical company Regeneron.

At this point it was also known that Trump would go to hospital care as a “precautionary measure.” The White House released this surprising news shortly after 5 pm (local time). After his corona diagnosis, the president was in good spirits, hardworking and had only “mild symptoms,” said Kayleigh McEnany, a spokeswoman for the White House, in a statement. Her personal physician and anonymous “medical experts” had advised the 74-year-old to temporarily relocate her workplace to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. The military hospital is prepared for such exceptional situations. A full suite of rooms is available to the president on campus, who operates independently from the rest of the hospital. The US media unanimously reported that Trump had a low temperature.
Trump left the White House around 6.15pm (local time) and boarded the “Marine One” helicopter. For once, the president wore a dark mask. He covered the short distance between the White House and the helicopter on the South Lawn without difficulty and greeted the assembled reporters several times. Understandably, Trump refrained from speaking to reporters as usual.
The president’s hospitalization, just over four weeks before Election Day, will have a massive impact on the remainder of the White House race. The Republican election campaign staff has already announced that all Trump events in politically contested states will be “temporarily” suspended. His immediate family will also give up personal appearances for the time being, said campaign manager Bill Stepien, who tested positive himself Friday night. Now he wants to run the election campaign from his home office. He announced that only Vice President Mike Pence would stick with his plans. Pence and his wife announced Friday that they had received a negative test result. Pence also wants to debate next Wednesday with Kamala Harris, the Democratic vice presidential candidate. The television match should take place on the grounds of the University of Utah in Salt Lake City.
Biden asks for a face mask to be worn
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden announced that his staff would refrain from airing negative commercials about Trump in light of the president’s illness. But Biden doesn’t want to adjust his campaign strategy. The 77-year-old has only appeared in front of small groups of people since the pandemic began. This is another reason why Biden traveled to Grand Rapids, Michigan on Friday as scheduled to speak with unionists there, after undergoing two corona tests. Both were negative. At the beginning of his speech, Biden wished his political opponent a speedy recovery. The president’s infection shows that “we have to take the virus seriously. It won’t just go away. “So Biden asked all Americans to wear a mask.” Be a patriot, “he said,” don’t mark the strong man. ”
Trump’s campaign staff, however, wanted nothing to do with this truce. Biden attacked Trump and his politics, a spokesman said. For example, Republican campaign staff sent out a call for donations titled “Lyin ‘Obama,” Obama Lying. The former president was not provoked. He wished his successor a speedy recovery.
Michelle and I hope that the President, the First Lady and all those affected by the coronavirus across the country are receiving the care they need and are on the path to a speedy recovery.

And we want everyone to be healthy, regardless of our party. “Trump’s former Democratic competitor and former first lady, Hillary Clinton, also wished the president and his wife a speedy recovery. However, she also expressed concern for all employees. of the White House.
North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un wished US President Donald Trump and the first lady a speedy recovery “from the bottom of his heart” and expressed his condolences. He closed the letter distributed by the state agency KCNA with “best regards.”
Twitter wants to remove death wishes
