Trump Describing His COVID-19 Treatment: “It Was Like God Touched My Shoulder”

You've got to be kidding me.

While I don’t necessarily believe the theories that Donald Trump’s recent coronavirus diagnosis and subsequent, rapid recovery were completely fabricated as some sort of PR stunt, it’s impossible to ignore the very clear fact that the man has certainly capitalized on the whole ordeal — seemingly using it as “proof” that this pandemic, this potentially deadly virus is just no big deal, you’ll be over it in a jiff and life goes on, despite the upwards of 225 thousand Americans who prove otherwise.

Ever since his release from Walter Reed, Trump has been touting the various controversial drugs and treatments that were used on him during his bout with the virus — it appears to be part of his effort to convince the American people that we’re on the other side of this thing now, they have treatments and “cures,” and there’s simply nothing to worry about.

Multiple medical professionals have warned the American people to take Trump’s experience with a grain of salt. That simply is not how it works for everyone. Donald was given access to top-notch, round-the-clock care, un-approved treatments, and copious amounts of attention that us average Joes simply won’t be privy to should we fall ill. But nevertheless, weeks later now, Trump is still touting these miracle treatments and cures.

During today’s Michigan rally, Donald brought up his experience with the virus that’s claimed more than 225 thousand American lives, bragging about what an “incredible job” his administration has done handling this pandemic.

He also went on to bring up the course of treatment he received during his own battle with the illness — once again seemingly touting it as some sort of miracle.

“They gave me something called Regeneron,” Trump stated, seemingly speaking directly to a group of pro-Trump nuns who were in attendance at the event. “The next morning, Sister, I woke up, and it was like God touched my shoulder… I said, let me at ’em.”

Quite literally, it seems that the man is trying to peddle this treatment he was lucky enough to receive as some sort of God-sent miracle. When, in all actuality, it was the work of socialized medicine that he doesn’t actually want anyone else to have.
