US President Donald Trump looks out from the Truman Balcony upon his return to the White House from Walter Reed Medical Center, where he underwent treatment for Covid-19, in Washington, DC, on October 5, 2020. — AFPPresident Donald Trump checked out of hospital Monday after four days of emergency treatment for Covid-19, pulling off his mask the moment he reached the White House and vowing to quickly get back on the campaign trail.
Live on television, he then walked in a mask to a limousine, giving the thumbs up, before boarding Marine One helicopter for the quick flight to the White House - which he left on Friday after falling ill. The return to the White House was minutely stage-managed to show he is physically fit, while a series of striking tweets demonstrated Trump’s coming angle of political attack: that he personally beat Covid and will now lead the country to its own comeback.“Don’t be afraid of Covid,“ he said in another, claiming to be feeling rejuvenated after his illness.“Tell that to the 205,000 families who lost somebody,“ Biden snapped.
That recommendation appeared to go unheeded, as Trump pushed out a new, unfiltered message to Americans: “Don’t let it dominate your life - get out there, be careful,“ Trump said in a tweeted video.The 74-year-old Republican’s display of bravado came the same day that his own chief spokeswoman tested positive - the latest in a viral outbreak raging within the White House.
Despite Trump’s characteristic claim that Covid-19 should not be of major concern, polls show it is a huge worry for Americans. His widely panned handling of the crisis this year is also reckoned to be the main reason Biden, 77, is surging in polls. Trump now looks poised to try and claim that in getting quickly out of hospital, he has personally vanquished the virus - and will go on to do the same for the rest of the country.
