Washington: US President Donald Trump on Saturday hosted a rally of his supporters on the South Lawn to warn against a Socialist takeover of America, after he discharged from the Military hospital, it is the first election campaign.

Trump speaking from the balcony of the South Portico, he repeatedly cast his Democratic challengers as the “Radical Left”, who would betray the country by shipping out jobs in China, allow and checked the illegal immigration, and get the US embroiled in foreign wars. We can’t allow our country to be Socialist Nation or worst, he said, claiming blacks and Hispanics had been let down by radical left politicians.

Asserting before the rally that he was now feeling “Very Strong” and is medication free, Trump’s self-designed spectacle was aimed at showcasing him as a strong man who overcame the Covid- 19 infection in just three to four days and is unafraid of a virus that in his view is akin to flu.

Only mildly chastened by the White House outbreak, invited supporters were asked to wear masks and had to undergo temperature checks. The White House has not released the results of Trump’s latest Covid- 19 tests, and has declined to say when he last tested negative. Ahead the event, Trump spent several hours calling into various TV and Radio shows on Friday to hold forth on a range of issues to anchors who would not or could get him to answer whether he had tested negative for Covid- 19 following the top line therapeutics and treatment he was administered.

“I haven’t even found out numbers or anything yet, but I have been re-tested and I know I am at either the bottom of the scale or free”, he vaguely told Fox News medical analyst Mark Siegel, a physician who like Trump believes Covid- 19 is no big deal.

They test every couple of days, I guess, but it’s really at a level now that’s been great- great to see it disappeared. Such an outlook is not going down well with country’s senior, the group most vulnerable to Covid-19.
