Donald Trump Pressing His Team To Schedule More Rallies Hoping For A Turnaround
President Donald Trump will be very busy for the next three weeks as far as schedule and travel are concerned. Following his hospitalization after testing positive for the coronavirus, the 74-year-old president has launched a frenzied concluding campaign offensive.
The dangerously fast pace is not being monitored, at least at the moment, considering Trump's condition. Without divulging full details, White House physician Dr. Sean Conley said Trump is cleared to return to a normal schedule. On Monday, the doctor announced that the president has tested negative for COVID-19 on consecutive days, CNN reported.
Claiming that he feels better than he did before contracting coronavirus, Trump has been itching to return to the campaign trail and compensate for the lost time. He boarded Air Force One on Monday without wearing a mask as he resumed his campaign schedule outside Orlando.
Just a few hours later, Trump announced that he is now immune from the virus, with no way of knowing for sure. "I went through it. Now they say I'm immune," Trump told a crowd comprising most mostly mask-less supporters after he took the stage located outside an airplane hangar.
While making his way to his podium, the president tossed out packs of face masks but showed no interest in modeling them. The CDC (US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) suggests there is no evidence that an individual becomes immune to coronavirus after being infected once.
The agency cautions people not to assume they are immune to the deadly pathogen that continues to claim millions of lives worldwide. However, Trump has followed some of the CDC's recommendations during the pandemic and refused to follow them on Monday.
He went on to say that he felt so powerful that he felt like walking into the audience and giving everyone in the audience a "big fat kiss." This week, Trump will be visiting all states he won back in 2016, including North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Florida.
His plan for next Friday and over the weekend hasn't been finalized yet. Trump was teeming with energy during his address on Monday that lasted for a little over an hour. While this may seem a lengthy speech, it is still shorter than his typical rallies that usually stretch from 90 minutes to a couple of hours.
Considering that he is trailing in polls, and there is not enough time to reverse his fortunes, the president is pushing his advisers to organize more rallies ahead of Election Day. Trump's campaign manager Bill Stepien, who tested positive for coronavirus last week, downplayed concerns regarding Trump's health.
