Reid added that the media portrays Trump as someone who survived the assassination and will soon return to the crusade by appearing at his party’s conference as a “sign of strength. “

“The current president of the United States is 81 years old and has COVID. He should be older in a few days, doesn’t that mean exactly the same thing? That he is strong enough – older than Trump – to achieve anything that “was fatal to others people his age. So if he does well, he comes back and can recover, is it rarely exactly the same,’” Reid said.
The White House announced Wednesday that Biden had COVID-19 and would isolate in Delaware.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the president was “vaccinated and boosted” and had mild symptoms.
Reid said Biden contracting COVID is an opportunity for him to show how to be responsible.

“And it’s also a pretty attractive opportunity for President Biden to prove that he’s guilty too. I guess he’ll put on a mask when he gets on Air Force One and not spread COVID. But also to remind other people to ‘End COVID thanks to Donald Trump,” Reid said. “Here’s a wonderful messaging opportunity for President Biden to pull out the tape and remind other people how many other people have died. A million more people are no longer with us; “People’s grandmothers died alone with their iPads. A wonderful opportunity and a messaging opportunity that the White House decided to take advantage of. “

On Instagram, Reid recounts the nature of Trump’s wounds from the assassination attempt.
“I have a lot of questions! For example, where are the medical reports?What caused Trump’s injury and what was that injury?Sheapnel? [sic] Glass? A bullet?Where were the 3 participants who were shot, sitting or in their relationship state?Why was Trump allowed to stand up and pose for photos, brandishing his fist for about ten seconds while asking about his shoe when there could have been more shooters without a problem?”
