Coughing Through Hannity Interview, Trump Says He Wants to Do Saturday Rally
Source: Daily Beast
During a Thursday night interview in which he repeatedly stopped to cough and catch his breath, President Donald Trump wouldnt reveal whether hes been tested since he was diagnosed with the coronavirus but did say he hopes to hold a campaign rally in Florida this Saturday night.
Prior to Trumps call with Fox News host Sean Hannity, the presidents doctorwho admitted he lied to the public about Trumps health after he was hospitalized with COVID-19cleared Trump to return to public events this coming weekend.
Overall hes responded extremely well to treatment, without evidence on examination of adverse therapeutic effects, Dr. Sean Conley wrote in a letter Thursday evening. Saturday will be Day 10 since Thursdays diagnosis, and based on the trajectory of advanced diagnostics the team has been conducting, I fully anticipate the Presidents safe return to public engagements at that time.
After asking how the president and the first lady were feeling, Hannity brought up Conleys letter, wondering aloud whether Trump has received a test yet to see if hes COVID-free.

(5,641 posts)He sounds so strong, "cough" and capable of handling anything.
The more he pushes himself, the better it will be for all of us.
I hope I don't need the sarcasm tag...but really, Trump, keep pushing buddy, now is not the time to show weakness.

US President Donald Trump says he feels great after his Covid-19 illness, describing it as "a blessing from God".
Mr Trump returned to the Oval Office on Wednesday, officials said, less than a week after testing positive.
The president has had no Covid-19 symptoms for more than 24 hours and has been fever-free for more than four days, his doctor, Sean Conley, said.
In a video message on Wednesday, Mr Trump said all Americans should have access to the treatments he was given.

think the FL governor cares. Didnt he just recently open everything back up in FL? Maybe FL governor can have a nice long visit with trump since supposedly trump is no longer sick according to his doctor. I think trump has bacterial pneumonia which can be spread to others by the way. My Dad had it when he had COVID-19 and was warned that my mother could possibly catch the pneumonia. Thankfully she did not.

(13,523 posts)that when I got one. It only helps for a number of pneumonias. Dont believe it helps with bacterial pneumonia only viral pneumonia. I know my Dad had that vaccine for pneumonia, but it didnt help in this case. You are right, ask questions!

(7,403 posts)Two straight days of negative tests. So far I have not heard where he has even had 1 negative test. I believe they are speculating that on Friday morning he will test negative and negative again Saturday. If he is negative Friday will they not risk a Saturday test just so he can go kill some more people?

(13,601 posts)That's why his lying fake "doctor" refuses to say when his last negative test was. It was probably last June or July that he even had a routine test. The only tests they did at the white house since then were when his symptoms were so bad and, of course, that test was positive and they took him (but not his "beloved" ) to the hospital.
AND last night on Rachel's show, she discussed multiple instances where 45 bragged about his "negative" tests - right up to around when you mentioned (probably closer to June). In fact, the Tulsa Rally was June 20 and that is when the heat was on to not have such a large maskless rally (and of course later, Herman Cain contracted the virus after attending). So that is when he probably cut off any more testing and pitched a fit if anyone tried to make him have one.

A coughing Trump insists he's well

Trump continued to careen from topic to topic on Sean Hannity's show, promoting conspiracy theories, peddling falsehoods, and launching attacks on Democrats and the media during a roughly 25 minute conversation. But it was arguably the President's health that took center stage. During the interview, Hannity twice asked Trump if he had been tested for the coronavirus since he became ill last week. It was a question that the President apparently couldn't answer. Trump instead said that he will "probably" be tested on Friday. Medhi Hasan quipped about the non-answer, "Mark the date, we have reached the point where even Sean Hannity is asking Trump simple questions that the president can't or won't answer."

It wasn't just Trump's comments on his health that drew attention. It was what the audience could hear at home. At least twice during the interview, Trump had to pause his sentences and audibly clear his throat and cough. The President insisted he was feeling great, claiming he saw his doctors earlier in the day and that they believe him to be in "great shape." But he sure didn't sound like he was cured, as he claimed to be.
...says he might hold rally Saturday

Double down on that strong leadership and don't get suckered into wearing masks and social distancing.
