总统到底做了什么唐纳德·特朗普我的意思是，当他周一在医院度过三个晚上处理一个严重的新冠肺炎病例后说:“我知道有危险，但我不得不这么做。”
在一个录像特朗普周一晚上回到白宫后不久就发推特说，他直接对着镜头说话——没有戴上他刚刚戏剧性地摘下的面具——而且似乎认为他生病是显示他是一个强大领导人的必要风险。
“作为你们的领导人，我必须这样做，”特朗普说，他的两侧是南门廊上的美国国旗，华盛顿纪念碑在他身后。
“我知道这有危险——但我不得不这么做。我站在前面。我带队。作为领导，没有人会不做我做的事。我知道有风险，有危险——但没关系，”他说。
2020年10月5日，在离开马里兰州贝塞斯达的沃尔特·里德国家军事医疗中心后，唐纳德·特朗普总统回到白宫时，站在蓝屋外的阳台上。
特朗普的语言似乎表明，他感染新冠肺炎病毒(这种疾病现已导致21万多名美国人死亡)是一种政治勇气的行为，以帮助他领导抗击病毒的斗争，而不是他在整个大流行期间继续拒绝始终戴口罩和保持社会距离的结果。
特朗普在视频中没有提到任何新冠肺炎公共卫生指南。
相反，为了展现胜利的形象，他一再告诉美国人不要让新冠肺炎“主宰”他们。他发了一条推文，也是同样的信息——“不要害怕Covid——周一宣布离开沃尔特里德国家军事医疗中心。
自从周五早上宣布他的新冠肺炎诊断以来，他至少两次需要补充氧气——周五在白宫，周六在沃尔特·里德——在他的血氧水平危险下降之后。
今天下午6:30我将离开伟大的沃尔特·里德医疗中心。感觉真好!不要害怕Covid。不要让它主宰你的生活。在特朗普政府的领导下，我们开发了一些真正伟大的药物和知识。感觉比20年前好多了!

“我了解了这么多冠状病毒。有一件事是肯定的:不要让它主宰你。不用怕。特朗普在视频中说:“你会赢的。”我们有最好的医疗设备。我们有最好的药，都是最近开发的。"
“别让它支配。不要让它占据你的生活。不要让这种事情发生，”特朗普继续说道。“但不要让它主宰你的生活。出去。小心点。”
2020年10月5日，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)从沃尔特·里德(Walter Reed)冠状病毒疾病医疗中心(新冠肺炎)住院治疗归来后，在白宫杜鲁门阳台上拍照时，他摘下了防护面罩。
特朗普不承认他经历了其他几个美国人很少接受的无与伦比的医疗保健，他正在接受的抗病毒鸡尾酒疗法只发放给了不到10名临床试验以外的人。
特朗普在病毒检测呈阳性四天后录制的视频中还声称，“也许我免疫了——我不知道。”
根据疾病控制和预防中心的说法，关于从新冠肺炎康复是否会带来免疫力的科学尚未建立。
特朗普在另一篇文章中预览了他的新政治战略——与新冠肺炎签约是他了解这一战略的最佳方式录像周日，就在他短暂离开医院，乘坐总统车队向支持者挥手致意之前，他在沃尔特·里德的推特上写道，尽管这仍然具有传染性。
“这是一次非常有趣的旅程。我了解了很多关于COVID的知识。我是真的上学学的。这才是真正的学校。这不是“让我们读学校的书。”我明白了。“我理解，”特朗普说这是一件非常有趣的事情，我会让你知道的。"
但据美国广播公司新闻/益普索报道，近四分之三的美国人表示，特朗普未能采取必要措施避免感染病毒投票在特朗普周五早上的阳性测试后，于周日发布，于周五和周六进行。
在两个独立的问题中，72%的受访者表示，特朗普没有“足够认真地对待感染病毒的风险”，也没有“在涉及到他的个人健康时采取适当的预防措施”。
'I had to do it': Trump suggests he got virus as act of political courage
What exactly did PresidentDonald Trumpmean when he said Monday, after spending three nights in the hospital dealing with a severe case of COVID-19: "I knew there's danger to it -- but I had to do it."
In avideoTrump tweeted soon after returning to the White House Monday evening, he spoke directly to the camera -- without the mask he had just dramatically taken off -- and seemed to argue his getting sick was a necessary risk to show he was a strong leader.
"As your leader, I had to do that," said Trump, flanked by American flags atop the South Portico with the Washington Monument in the distance behind him.
"I knew there's danger to it -- but I had to do it. I stood out front. I led. Nobody that's a leader would not do what I did. And I know there's a risk, there's a danger -- but that's okay," he said.
President Donald Trump stands on the balcony outside of the Blue Room as returns to the White House, Oct. 5, 2020, after leaving Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, in Bethesda, Md.
Trump's language seemed to suggest his contracting COVID-19 -- a disease that has now killed more than 210,000 Americans -- was an act of political courage to help him lead the fight against the virus, not the result of his continued refusal to always wear a mask and social distance throughout the pandemic.
Trump didn't mention any COVID-19 public health guidance in the video.
Instead, seeking to project a triumphant image, he repeatedly told American instead not to let COVID-19 "dominate" them. He sent a tweet with the same message -- "Don't be afraid of Covid -- announcing his departure from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Monday.
At least twice since announcing his COVID-19 diagnosis Friday morning, he has required supplemental oxygen -- at the White House Friday and at Walter Reed Saturday -- after dangerous drops in his blood oxygen level.
I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 P.M. Feeling really good! Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)October 5, 2020
"I learned so much aboutcoronavirus. And one thing that's for certain: Don't let it dominate you. Don't be afraid of it. You're gonna beat it," Trump said in the video. "We have the best medical equipment. We have the best medicines, all developed recently."
"Don't let it dominate. Don't let it take over your lives. Don't let that happen," Trump continued. "But don't let it dominate your lives. Get out there. Be careful."
President Donald Trump pulls off his protective face mask as he poses atop the Truman Balcony of the White House after returning from being hospitalized at Walter Reed Medical Center for coronavirus disease (COVID-19) treatment, Oct. 5, 2020.
Trump did not acknowledge that he has experienced unparalleled medical care few other Americans receive and that the antiviral cocktail he's being treated with has only been issued to fewer than ten people outside of a clinical trial setting.
Trump also claimed in the video, taped four days after testing positive for the virus, "Maybe I'm immune -- I don't know."
The science on whether recovering from COVID-19 confers immunity has not yet been established, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Trump previewed his new political strategy -- that contracting COVID-19 was the best way for him to learn about it -- in anothervideohe tweeted from Walter Reed Sunday, just before he briefly left the hospital in the presidential motorcade to wave to supporters despite still being contagious.
"It's been a very interesting journey. I learned a lot about COVID. I learned it by really going to school. This is the real school. This isn't the, 'Let's read the book school.' And I get it. And I understand it," Trump said. "It's a very interesting thing, and I'm going to be letting you know about it."
But nearly 3 out of every 4 Americans say Trump took failed to take steps necessary to avoid contracting the virus, according to an ABC News/Ipsospollreleased Sunday which was conducted on Friday and Saturday, following Trump's positive test early Friday morning.
In two separate questions, an identical 72% said that Trump did not take the "risk of contracting the virus seriously enough," nor "the appropriate precautions when it came to his personal health."
