TIL Desk/World/Washington/ Less than two weeks after he tested positive for coronavirus, an exuberant United States President Donald Trump made a comeback to the campaign trail with a rally in Sanford, Florida stating that he felt “so powerful” that he wanted to “kiss everyone” in the audience.
Walking off Air Foce One at the Orlando Sanford International Airport onto a stage, Trump played down the coronavirus and said “22 days from now we’re going to win this state, we’re going to win four more years at the White House.”
“I feel so powerful,” said Trump. “I’ll walk into that audience. I’ll walk in there, I’ll kiss everyone in that audience. I’ll kiss the guys and the beautiful women … everybody,” he said. Prior to his speech Trump tossed masks into the crowd.
In a memorandum issued Monday night, White House Physician Dr Sean Conley said that Trump “has tested negative, on consecutive days” using the Abbott BinaxNOW antigen card.
“Repeatedly negative antigen tests, taken in context with additional clinical and laboratory data, including viral load, subgenomic RNA, and PCR cycle threshold measurements, as well as ongoing assessment of viral cultural data, all indicate a lack of detectable viral replication,” he said.
