Trump Coughs During Phone Call Interview w Fox's Hannity, Says He's Feeling 'Really Good': Listen

'President Trump coughs during his call-in interview on Hannity, but says he's feeling 'really good.' Business Insider, Oct. 8, 2020.

President Donald Trump interrupted himself during a call-in interview on Fox News Thursday night to clear his throat to the point of a stifled cough.

Host Sean Hannity did not acknowledge the moment and kept the interview moving.

Hannity did ask Trump how he was doing following his discharge from the hospital with COVID-19, and Trump said he was feeling "really great."

Trump also announced his plans to hold a rally "probably in Florida" on Saturday night and said he will get "the test" for COVID-19 on Friday to see if he's negative.

His heart may not be up to that challenge.
Trump’s faces the real possibility of dying in office.

He doesn't understand that he will never test negative again. Even if he was healthier than reports indicate, that he'll be shedding the virus for the next couple of weeks. His stupidity is mind-boggling.

You can feel fine with a bit of a cough one day. And then suddenly crash the next where you are admitted to the nearest hospital's ICU and you're on a ventilator.

I know Trump is being treated, but there is no known "silver bullet" yet. Everything is an experiment. It could work; maybe it won't.

My complaint is that he is a poor model for those who have symptoms of Covid. Maybe they won't seek medical intervention due to his profiling the condition as "no sweat!"
