President Donald Trump has already tested positive for Covid-19 in the run-up to the US election, but his doctor said on Friday that he was "good" and able to perform his duties to the best of his ability. Are able
Trump, 74, first announced on Twitter that
he and 50-year-old First Lady Melania Trump had a positive experience.
"We'll get on with it!" He
wrote.
The news sparked a political bombing a
month before election day.
The first immediate result was the
cancellation of Trump's election rally, which was to take place later in
Florida.
Even before the Nov. 3 Democratic
challenger who narrowly fell behind in the election against Biden, Trump has
been using large rallies - where most people go unmasked - to talk about his
coronavirus epidemic. Attempts to change the subject with a highly critical
response.
Speaking at a New York charity event on
Thursday alone, he said: "The epidemic is coming to an end and next year
will be the biggest year in our country's history."
But now the leader who has repeatedly
doubted the seriousness of the virus - despite the fact that more than 200,000
Americans are already dying - is proving that not all White House resources can
stop the menace. Are
Biden, who has criticized the Republican
response to the corona virus on his key issue, did not immediately comment on
the president's health.
World leaders, including German Chancellor
Angela Merkel, wished the president and first lady a speedy recovery, and
Russian President Vladimir Putin said it would help tackle Trump's
"vitality, good spirit and optimism."
Technically obese and in his 70s, Trump is
in the high-risk category for coronavirus patients.
Trump's public physician, Sean Conley,
said in a statement that the president and his wife were "OK at the
moment."
"I plan to stay home in the White
House during my stay," he said. He added that he expected the president to
continue to perform his duties.
- Stir in the campaign -
Trump's positive experience was more than
a PR disaster for a president who has done everything in his power to persuade
Americans that the virus fears have subsided.
Its electoral strategy was immediately
affected’ especially by the skepticism about the future of its signature
rallies.
Trump says the events proved his true
political power better than a sham referendum, gathering thousands, without a
mask and sometimes violating local laws.
At least for the immediate future, and
with the election clock ticking, which is yet to come.
In addition to canceling the trip to
Florida, it seemed that Trump would have to cancel his trip to Wisconsin this
weekend, the second battlefield. He was expected’ to travel frequently,
including in the western states, next week.
The second televised debate with Biden is
scheduled’ for October 15.
- A close helper gets the virus.
The news came after a close adviser to
Trump, Hope Hicks, announced on Thursday that the virus had been’ eradicated.
Hicks, 31, traveled to Cleveland with
Trump for his first argument with Biden on Tuesday. She was with him again for
an election rally in Minnesota on Wednesday.
Trump's Air Force One plane and Marine One
helicopter with Hooks share more sophisticated prisoners, prompting
speculation. It was rumored’ that Trump and possibly many others in his
delegation were exposed.
Despite Hicks' assessment, Trump made
another Air Force One trip Thursday to meet with donors in New Jersey.
It wasn't until late Thursday evening that
Trump confirmed media reports about Hooks in an interview with Fox News. He announced
that he had been tested’ but did not say whether he had received the results.
Hicks, the White House's most senior aide,
has announced the signing of the Cowboys-19.
In May, Katie Miller, spokeswoman for Vice
President Mike Pence and wife of the author of Trump's speech, contracted the
virus. National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien contracted the virus in July.
- Mask Conflict -
For months, Trump has been embroiled in
controversy over his insistence that the coronavirus epidemic is so good and
that the lockdown, which was stopped’ in an attempt to defeat the virus from
behind, was severe.
What has finally become a political gesture,
Trump almost never wears a public veil.
He says it is not necessary because he is
often tested, but he is supported by his supporters and many of his colleagues.
But Trump's own health experts have often
underestimated the epidemic in the world's richest country.
And Trump, in particular, has been
criticized’ by Biden, and at times by local leaders.
Biden is deliberately running a low-key
campaign with social distance in most programs, no large gatherings, and uses
his mask clearly wherever he goes.
In their first debate on Tuesday, the
candidates were tested and spent an angry, often chaotic 90 minutes standing
close to each other. Trump's family and aides in the audience did not wear
masks.
