President Trump, still confined to the White House where he is being treated for COVID-19, planned more steps to try to reinvigorate a re-election campaign hit hard by his handling of the pandemic

Trump is scheduled to appear in his first TV interview since revealing last Friday he had contracted COVID-19. Fox Business Network said the interview would air on Thursday after 8 a.m. .

Trump has faced criticism for underestimating the novel coronavirus, which has killed more than 210,000 Americans and thrown millions out of work. Even since revealing his own illness on Friday, Trump has downplayed the respiratory disease’s dangers and been censured by social media platforms for spreading misinformation about it.

Despite his illness, Trump has been looking for ways to get his election message out and cut into Biden’s lead in battleground states, advisers said.Aides said Trump was impatient to return to campaigning and insistent on going ahead with the second presidential debate on Oct. 15 in Miami, although Biden said on Tuesday he would not participate if Trump was not virus-free.

Trump’s vice president, Mike Pence, and Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris debated on Wednesday night in Salt Lake City, their only matchup ahead of the Nov. 3 election. Trump has depicted himself as a man who vanquished the disease and emerged stronger, telling Americans not to be afraid of COVID-19. Harris faulted him for failing to be honest with the American people about the risks posed by virus.

He’s taking me on so many fieldtrips

We will ignore the 60 Million who were infected with the swine flu under VP Biden. Imagine that was the corona virus? 10 million dead, 5 million dead or 2 million dead?

What's wrong with his right eye

LaurenYoung More bronzer? 🤣

Make-up was a few shades too dark. He looks over baked.

What is wrong with his face here?

They're inundating youtube with ads. Some are doctored videos, which are difficult to report.

Trump would have a better campaign if he just shut up and locked himself away in his residence.

Does 'handling' mean 'completely ignoring' now?

'CONFINED'!! 'REALLY'!! People who REALLY DO HAVE the virus are 'QUARANTINED' for 10 days OR LONGER &NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE HOSPITAL-OR- HOLD MEETINGS-OR-ALLOWED TO POSE FOR PHOTO OPS-OR-MADE CAMPAIGHN ADS! THIS IS POLITICAL THEATER!!DESIGNED TO AGAIN 'DOWN PLAY THE VIRUS'!

Trump needs to be contained until he clear of Covid19.

The steroids are messing with his face. The makeup can’t hide it. Mr. Vain must be miserable.

Edges. Like he's subtle.
