Donald Trump is no longer ‘a transmission risk to others,’ his doctor said, as the president sought to put his bout with coronavirus behind him and return to the campaign trail
Trump, trailing his Democratic challenger Joe Biden in opinion polls, addressed supporters from a White House balcony on Saturday afternoon. He urged a crowd of hundreds of largely Black and Latino supporters to help get out the vote in the Nov. 3 election.
Trump first revealed that he had tested positive on Oct. 2, and spent three days in hospital. The White House has not disclosed when Trump last tested negative. He attacked Democrats as pursuing a “socialist” or even “Communist” agenda, and hailed his own record in fighting crime and boosting the U.S. economy, while flag-waving supporters cheered and chanted, “We love you.”
“They should be socially distant and wearing masks,” he said. “It’s the only responsible thing to do.”
