Donald Trump spoke on the porch of the White House to a few hundred supporters in Washington this Saturday, in what marks the first public appearance by the American president since he became ill with Covid-19. Donald Trump will still be contagious. “I feel great,” Trump began by saying that, however, he was unable to disguise any hoarseness.
Guests were advised to wear a mask to the gardens of the White House, but it is certain that many chose not to wear protective equipment against the transmission of the new coronavirus. The president himself did not wear a mask during the speech.
Trump referred to the “China virus” and called for the vote “to run with the Democrats”. The president spared no criticism of his opponent, Joe Biden, accusing Democrats of wanting to reduce the number of police officers needed to support African American communities, putting them “in danger”. Accusing Democratic policies of being “communist”, he said that only he will support the African American and Latin American communities if he is reelected.
Donald Trump dismissed the hypothesis of a new confinement in the USA, at a time when the country already exceeds 210 thousand deaths due to Covid-19, considering that measures of this type “are not scientific”.
