President Donald Trump is reassuring his supporters they will only have to hear about the COVID-19 pandemic a little longer.
“It’s ‘COVID, COVID, COVID,’ you can’t watch anything else. On November 4th you won’t be hearing so much about it,” Trump said during a rally in Michigan Tuesday.
He added, “Did you ever notice, they don’t use the word death. They use the word cases, cases. Like Barron Trump is a case. He has sniffles. He was sniffling, one Kleenex, that’s all he needed… and he was better. But he’s a case.”
Trump argued the reason the United States has so many COVID-19 cases is because “we test more.”

Trump touted his own recovery after contracting COVID-19.
“You see this crowd right here? I could jump right in. I could give every woman and every man, I’d even kiss the men, I could give every woman and every man right here a kiss and I wouldn’t catch it. I have immunity,” Trump said.
He added, “And until I came along, you know, you used to hear you have immunity for life right? As soon as I had it and got better, they were not too happy about that, and they said, ‘The speed, this guy got better.’ But you know what as soon as I had it I got better. I said I had immunity. It was supposed to be for life. When it was me they said it’s only good for four months.”
After receiving his diagnosis, Trump was treated for coronavirus at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and returned to the White House just days later.
Upon his return to the campaign trail Trump boasted of his COVID-19 recovery, as IJR previously reported.
“I went through it now. They say I’m immune. I feel so powerful,” Trump told the crowd at a rally in Florida.
