There are fears that Donald Trump has caught the deadly coronavirus after he seems to be wheezing in his speeches. The President of the United States appears to be out of breath as he promises the victory of American people over the pandemic, which is also known as Covid-19. Is the POTUS doing well amidst the claim?
In a short video that Politicus USA boss Sarah Reese Jones shared on Twitter, Melania Trump's husband could be heard gasping during the coronavirus press conference. While he promised the victory over the pandemic, he seemed to be out of breath after he said the words "gone" and "won."
Donald Trump also held on the podium very tightly to maintain his balance while standing. In addition, the color of his face seemed to be different from the usual orange hue he had before due to the makeup he usually wears. During the press briefing, he had a reddish look, which some believed to be sunburned because of his hobby of golfing.
However, there are also questions if the president is sick due to his appearance. Aside from panting, being out of breath, and redness of the face, some noticed that he also has low energy, which seems to be evident throughout the past couple of weeks.
It wasn't the first time that Donald Trump displayed shortness of breath. In a previous nation address, he also took several deep and labored breathing. Does he has coronavirus?
According to Slate, the head of state already insisted that he is fine. He also said that he fees excellent and perfect. He is even willing to take a coronavirus test if needed, but he stressed that there is no reason for it.
Although Donald Trump repeatedly said he is in good shape, it looks like the American people don't believe so. For the past weeks, he, reportedly, has close contacts to people who tested positive on coronavirus or someone who happened to interact with others who have the disease.
Knowing how contagious the new strain of this virus is, it can easily be transmitted through close contact, especially if someone has been near to people who have the disease multiple times. Donald Trump is also in his 70s, making him susceptible to the illness.
On March 7, it was revealed that an attendee at the Conservative Political Action Conference tested positive for the coronavirus. American Conservative Union president Matt Schlapp had direct exposure with this attendee and then spent time with Donald Trump graced.
Matt Gaetz also came close to the infected person and then flew with Donald Trump on Air Force One. Anyhow, White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham already cleared that both the president and vice president had no interactions with an individual with the virus and had no need to be tested.
