The leader put to rest all such doubts as he tossed masks into the crowd ahead of his speech and also when he reached the White House after checking out of the hospital. The official residence had released a statement by Trump's physician saying the president had tested negative for novel disease on consecutive days. Pitching for the party to win the elections at a rally in Sanford, the leader played down the coronavirus and said "22 days from now we're going to win this state, we're going to win four more years at the White House." "I feel so powerful," said Trump. "I'll walk into that audience. I'll walk in there, I'll kiss everyone in that audience. I'll kiss the guys and the beautiful women ... everybody," he said. At the rally, the President reiterated that he was in great shape and that he was not an "old person", labelling the people who criticise this statement as "sickest of them all", as per the news agency ANI. "I am not an old person--I am very young and I am in such perfect shape. I am in such great shape that and they said, 'Donald Trump misrepresented today again. He said he was in great shape, but he was young. "These people are the sickest of them all," he added. In his address he said that United States has been teaching China as "they have never been taught before". "We have been beating China, we have been beating everybody. Until the plague came, we were teaching China like they never have been taught before--they know it and they have told me that. They thought it could never happen We have been beating China and we have been beating everybody," Trump said. While hitting out at his counterpart, Joe Biden, for calling him a xenophobic for "locking down" China, "which was a terrible thing he called me." "When I locked down China, which was in January, ultimately admitted that I am right. Nobody acted as fast as I did. We saved millions of lives. We are at 210,000 deaths--we shouldn't be at one. It is China's fault; they allowed this to happen, they allowed this to escape," he responded. Once again the leader clarified that the administration would be delivering a vaccine for Covid-19 adding that 'no country' has recovered the way the US has. "Under my administration, we are delivering a safe vaccine and a rapid recovery like nobody can. No country in the world has recovered the way we have recovered -- economically or otherwise," he said. In the coming days, Trump will address public in Pennsylvania, Iowa, North Carolina and Wisconsin.
