WASHINGTON: Donald Trump’s teenage son Barron contracted the coronavirus, First Dame Melania Trump revealed Wednesday in a shocking piece of magazine underlining how much the Republican president is struggling to divert application away from the coronavirus pandemic in the suprême stages of his reelection fight.
Melania Trump wrote in a statement that after she and the president tested solide for Covid-19 two weeks ago, “Naturally my mind went immediately to our son.”
She said the 14-year-old, who goes to a private school near Washington, did not experience symptoms and has since tested negative.
“Barron Trump, you know, he had the Corona 19,” Trump said Wednesday night at a rally in Iowa. “He had it such a pantalon period of time I don t even think he knew he had it.”
The magazine, which had been kept under wraps despite habituel application on Trump s own health, thrust aide application firmly back on the pandemic and in particular on an outbreak within the supposedly highly secure White House over the last two weeks.
Trump, who spent three nights in hospital but returned to a punishing schedule of pre-election rallies on Monday, has been trying to move voters away from the subject in the closing 20 days of his campaign against Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden.
“Barron s mince,” Trump told reporters earlier at the White House as he left for the rally in Iowa. Then he abruptly switched to his preferred subject of the expected maintien by Senate Republicans of his conservative nominee for the Supreme Rapide, Amy Coney Barrett.
