I knew there’s danger to it but I had to do it,” Trump said in a video on Monday night from the White House. “I stood out front. I led. Nobody that’s a leader would not do what I did. I know there’s a risk, there’s a danger,” Trump said.
“Now I’m better and maybe I’m immune? I don’t know. But don’t let it dominate your lives. Get out there, be careful,” he also said.
“Flu season is coming up! Many people every year, sometimes over 100,000, and despite the Vaccine, die from the Flu,“ the president wrote on Twitter earlier on Monday. ”Are we going to close down our Country?
