Trump Just Accused President Biden Of "Coughing On People All Over The Place" And We Can't Make It Make Sense

According to an excerpt from a forthcoming book from Donald Trump’s former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, the former president tested positive for Covid-19 three days before his first debate against then-candidate Joe Biden — but went ahead with the debate anyway without telling his opponent of the risks. Meadows recalls in the book that even though he knew each candidate was required “to test negative for the virus within seventy-two hours of the start time … Nothing was going to stop [Trump] from going out there.” Trump insisted in a statement that he was not contagious with the virus during the first presidential debate, and he lashed out at President Biden.

“The Fake News continues to push the false narrative that I had Covid prior to the first debate,” Trump said. “My Chief of Staff Mark Meadows confirmed I did not have Covid before or during the debate, saying, “And yet, the way that the media wants to spin it is certainly to be as negative about Donald Trump as they possibly can while giving Joe Biden a pass.”‘

“Biden goes around coughing on people all over the place, and yet the Corrupt News doesn’t even cover it,” the twice-impeached one-term president insisted. “They continue to shield Biden, who has been a disaster not just on Covid, where we have more deaths this year than last, but on the Border, the Economy, Inflation, Afghanistan, Gas prices, and everything else. Probably because he’s not supposed to be in office in the first place!”

NEW!

President Biden caught a cold and coughed at several points last week. Reporters were wearing masks, and the White House has said Biden tested negative for COVID-19 three times after showing cold-like symptoms. So, I don’t know what the former president is suggesting here. And I haven’t seen Biden “coughing on people all over the place.” His statement doesn’t make any sense.
