Trump also explained why he had chosen to come to Maryland in the video. He said he did not want to be locked up in the White House even though he was advised to stay indoors and recover.
Trump said, “I had no choice, because I did not stay in the White House. I was given that alternative. ‘Stay in the White House. Lock yourself in. Don’t ever leave and don’t even go to the Oval Office. Just stay upstairs and enjoy it. Don’t see people and don’t talk to people and just be done with it.’ I can’t do that.”
Trump said he needed to be ‘out in front’. He said, “I have to be out front. This is America. This is the United States. This is the greatest country in the world and this is the most powerful country in the world. I can’t be locked up in a room upstairs and totally safe and says ‘Hey, whatever happens, happens!’
Speaking of the campaign, he said, “I will be back soon. I have to get back because we have to make America great again… I look forward to finishing up the campaign. The way it was started, the way we have been doing and the kind of numbers we have been doing. We are so proud of it.”
The Trump campaign on Friday said that all campaign rallies have been put on hold as the President and the first Lady Melania Trump had tested positive for coronavirus on Thursday.
He also said that the First Lady is doing well and handling the situation ‘very nicely’. Speaking of Melania Trump he said, “The First Lady is doing well. Melania asked me to say something… the respect she has for our country and love that she has for our country. We are both doing well.”
‘She is slightly younger than me. Just a little tiny bit… Therefore, we know the disease, we know the situation. Age versus younger people and Melania is handling it, statistically, like it’s supposed to be handled.”
