US President Trump makes his first public appearance since contracting Covid-19, while his aides remain silent on whether he's still contagious
US President Trump says he is"feeling great" as he makes his first public appearance since contracting coronavirus, even as his aides remain silent on whether he is still contagious.
"I want you to know our nation is going to defeat this terrible China virus," Trump told the cheering crowd of hundreds below on Saturday, most wearing masks but with very little social distancing at the outdoor event. Saturday's campaign-style event at the White House set the stage for his first rally Monday in the critical swing state of Florida – an event slammed as "reckless" by Biden, in light of concerns the president might still be contagious.
Trailing his Democratic rival Joe Biden by close to 10 points in national polls, Trump insists the pollsters are wrong and is seeking to reboot his campaign less than four weeks from Election Day.Doubts linger over Trump's health, with the president's doctor appearing more concerned about pleasing his star patient than communicating transparently with the public.
The White House has not released the results of Trump's latest Covid-19 test and has declined to say when he last tested negative.
