The increasing political despair of the US President, Donald Trump, raises concerns about the effectiveness of the drug that he took to treat "Covid-19", with the increasing doubts that the White House did not declare his truthfulness during the past days, Trump changed his position repeatedly regarding a new plan for a presidential debate A hypothetical second, and suddenly decided to support negotiations on an economic rescue package due to the Corona virus, which he had rejected earlier in the week.
His campaign is in disarray, trailing Democratic candidate, Joe Biden, by double digits a few days before election date.
The president's erratic behavior underscores a worrying leadership vacuum in the White House, due to his plague, and takes an ominous turn, amid new indications of a slowdown in the fragile economic recovery.
Trump's official doctor, Dr. Sean Connelly, confirmed that the president is fit to return to his public engagement after completing his treatment, but questions still remain: Has he infecting other people?
Who are these people?
Is it still contagious?
In an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, the president twice refused to disclose whether his test result was negative, even when he said he might try to organize a rally in Florida at a later time.
Some of his critics indicate that his health may affect his political choices, and the director, who is isolated from the government office involved in developing a vaccine for the Coronavirus, Rick Bright, says: “He is not well. Who knew of his injury ».
Warnings
Bright, who previously served as director of the Research and Development Authority in Advanced Biomedicine, adds that a person who underwent experimental treatments for "Covid-19" should remain in a hospital bed.
Bright, who spoke out after his resignation from the National Institutes of Health this week, says: “It's a very dangerous thing, he's responsible for a lot of things, and he's making a lot of important decisions for our country and the world. He may make very reckless decisions for the country and the world. ”
Meanwhile, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi asked, during an interview with Bloomberg TV, whether the president was suffering from a "change of rationality", referring to his sudden decision to stop the stimulus negotiations, and indicated that doctors said that the steroid drug Trump is taking could That affects the patient’s control of his decisions. Pelosi said during her weekly press conference: “When the president released his strange tweet saying: We are withdrawing from the negotiations, what did he mean?” And she adds: “We all worked hard to find common ground,” Pelosi pushes for a project. A new law, which has little chance of becoming law, gives Congress a role in determining whether the president should be forced out of office because he is unable to do his job.
Debate debate
Conley's statement on Trump's health was particularly comforting to the president, who spent the day testing the wills with his rival Joe Biden's campaign and the Presidential Debate Panel, on the upcoming presidential debate.
This timing may reflect the fact that Connelly may have been coerced by a president driven exclusively by his political fate.
Trump said at first, that he refused to appear in a hypothetical confrontation, which was planned due to fears that he still poses a danger to others, by transmitting the infection to them, then he asked his camp to postpone the last two debates for a week.
Then, following Conley's evening briefing, the Trump team insisted the discussion could go as planned, next week, in Miami, despite concerns about whether the president was still contagious.
The president's latest gambit reflects the fact that he now runs the risk of missing one of the last opportunities to change his campaign, simply because he ignored social distancing measures and caught the epidemic as a result, and provided Biden with an opportunity to accuse him of backing down.
Trump also approved the economic stimulus package on Thursday after he withdrew from talks with Democratic House of Representatives earlier in the week, in a new sign of his increasingly reckless behavior since leaving Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
Trump Promotes COVID-19 Treatment
The president is trying to divert the campaign away from his management of the epidemic well, and this attempt is to make exaggerated promises about the provision of antibody treatment, which was provided by the company "Regeneron", which he describes as an effective treatment, although it still lacks the approval of the Food Administration And medicine.
And his warnings, after his discharge from the hospital, that Americans should not allow disease "to control" them, may complicate efforts by public health officials to promote public safety measures, such as wearing masks and avoiding crowded places.
On the same day that federal and state officials announced allegations of a domestic terrorist plot to kidnap Michigan State Governor, Gretchen Whitmer, Trump accused this Democratic governor of "filing a complaint" and attacked her again over her handling of the pandemic, accusing her of closing her state.
Trump has consistently called on states to reopen their doors, ignoring the increasing number of cases across the country.
And earlier this week, the country's top infectious disease specialist, Dr Anthony Fauci, warned that the country could see up to 400,000 coronavirus deaths by winter.
Fauci said during a discussion with American University students last week: "The models tell us that if we do not take the measures that we are talking about during the autumn and winter cold, the deaths could reach between 300,000 and 400,000 deaths." And he added, "It would be very tragic, if that happened." ».
Also on Thursday, Fauci tried to explain Trump's lie on social media this week that influenza is more deadly than "Covid-19" and said: "There is absolutely no doubt that (Covid-19) is much more dangerous than seasonal influenza, with 210 thousand deaths in the United States, 1 million deaths worldwide, and 7 million injuries in the United States.
The White House covered up Trump's test
Despite his lack of medical experience, the president insists that the virus is no longer contagious, and the White House argues unconvincingly that privacy concerns prevent them from sharing details of the timing of the president's last negative test for COVID-19.
This information is important for assessing whether the president, while still injured, is recklessly participating in public events, including the first presidential debate days earlier.
The test date can determine whether the White House is telling the truth when he claims that Trump is regularly tested, which is important because the presidential compound has become a hotspot for the Corona virus, and knowing the test date is also essential to assessing the president's claims that he is no longer contagious. , Because he insists on returning to the campaign track, and the resumption of crowded gatherings that risk the health of supporters, and anyone they may meet later.
In recent days, including in a crazy interview with Fox Business, last Thursday, Trump has questioned out loud why his opponents, Hillary Clinton, Biden and former President Barack Obama, have not been imprisoned, and incredibly raised the possibility that the relatives of American soldiers who died They have infected him with the epidemic in the White House, which absolves his team of responsibility for neglecting the measures taken, to keep employees and visitors safe from the virus, and this president, who benefited from 24-hour medical care from senior military doctors, and experimental treatments not available to other Americans, said, On Fox Business: "What happens is that I am getting better ... You know, I don't really need medication."
On the same day that federal and state officials announced allegations of a domestic terrorist plot to kidnap Michigan State Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Trump accused this Democratic governor of "filing a complaint", and attacked her again over her handling of the epidemic, accusing her of closing her state.
