More than 200,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus. But President Trump on Wednesday took the opportunity to boast about his health, calling his positive diagnosis 'a blessing from God.'
so far from the coronavirus, Trump referred to his own experience as a"blessing."
"I think this was a blessing from God that I caught it. This was a blessing in disguise. I caught it, I heard about this drug. I said 'Let me take it' — it was my suggestion, I said 'Let me take it.' And it was incredible the way it worked. Incredible," Trump said in the Wednesday Twitter video, vowing that the drug would be free and that he would make China"pay a big price" for the virus having made its way to U.S. shores.
"I want everybody to be given the same treatment as your president because I feel great, I feel, like, perfect," he said. Shortly after the video landed on Twitter, White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said on Fox News that two therapeutic treatments for COVID-19 have been submitted to the FDA for emergency use authorization."Two of them were put in for EUA today," he said. He did not provide further details.
