Trump campaign super spreaders going forward

Speaking at an airport hangar to a packed-in crowd in Latrobe, Pa., Trump claimed journalists had spread rumors of the president having "mini-strokes" because "they want to try and get me to be on Biden's physical level."

It was an echo of Trump's repeated attacks on Biden's health and mental capability throughout the campaign. Trump's lengthy defense of his visit to Walter Reed was also reminiscent of his 17-minute explanation at a Tulsa rally in June of his halting descent down a ramp at a West Point graduation ceremony.

Trump's allusion to his hospital visit wasn't the only attack he leveled on Biden's acuity. He also mocked the Democratic nominee for wearing a mask during campaign events and observing social distancing measures.

"Have you ever seen a man who likes a mask as much as him?" Trump said. "It gives him a feeling of security. If I were a psychiatrist, I'd say this guy has got some big issues."

"Joe Hiden’ gets off his airplane, grabs and shakes a rather stunned man’s hand (like in the old days), then touches his (Joe’s) face and mask with the same hand. No crowd, no enthusiasm for Joe today. Law & Order!" Trump tweeted.

During his Latrobe event, Trump also called on the audience to try showing up to the polls after sending in mail-in ballots; an echo of comments from Wednesday when he encouraged North Carolina voters to cast their ballots twice amid a broader campaign against mail-in voting.
