President Donald Trump told a crowd of followers in Pennsylvania that he only came to see them because his campaign is doing worse than he hoped.

Trump spoke for an hour at Erie International Airport on Tuesday night, during which time he sought to attack Democratic Party presidential candidate Joe Biden and tout his own accomplishments.

With 13 days to the US election, Trump has been holding frequent rallies across the US, and is scheduled to debate Biden in Nashville, Tennessee, on Thursday, in the final presidential debate.

But speaking on Tuesday, Trump suggested that the only reason he made good on his promise to visit Erie was because the extent to which the coronavirus pandemic has hampered his campaign.

"Four or five months ago when we started this whole thing, because you know, before the plague came in, I had it made. I wasn't coming to Erie. I mean, I have to be honest, there was no way I was coming," Trump said.

...the people who choose to attend his rallies but, nonetheles, I'm sure the insult of what he said didn't sink in with them.
