'Anyone can get it': Trump supporters shocked at diagnosis, unwavering in support COVID19
WARREN, Ohio/BANGOR, Penn.— As Americans digested the news on Friday that President Donald Trump had tested positive for the novel coronavirus, some of his backers expressed surprise that he hadn't been safe from infection and said their support for him was not diminished.
The Republican has played down the risks of the virus and COVID-19 disease that has killed more than 207,000 Americans, drawing criticism for his erratic messaging and recent resumption of campaign rallies where his supporters often are crowded together and don't wear masks. "There’s so many false positives out there. Has Trump had a second test yet?" asked Sharon Tice, 70, who sells Trump T-shirts and other memorabilia. "But if he does have it, it could influence the way he sees things."
Dan Madden, an independent voter from Orange County speaking in Palm Springs, said concerns could rise if Trump's condition worsened. Trump, 74, is at high risk for the deadly virus both because of his age and because he is considered overweight. He has remained in good health during his time in office but is not known to exercise regularly or to follow a healthy diet."Trump will prove to the American people that you can survive COVID," said Cathy Lukasko, auxiliary chair of the Trumbull County, Ohio, Republican Party.
