US President Donald Trump is “FEELING GREAT” after leaving the hospital where he was treated for Covid-19, he announced on Twitter, adding he was looking forward to the next debate. Cue a torrent of social-media vitriol.


Predicting a “great” debate in Miami later this month, Trump reassured Americans he was also feeling “GREAT” on Tuesday morning. He was discharged from Walter Reed hospital the previous evening after spending several days inpatient being treated for Covid-19 with an experimental drug cocktail.






While many were relieved to see the president in good spirits and seemingly good health, his upbeat tweets were too much for some. “That’s what Herman Cain said too,” anti-Trump ‘reply guy’ Mrs. Krassenstein snarked, referring to the former Republican presidential candidate who died after becoming infected with the novel coronavirus in July. Like Trump, Cain was hospitalized and received oxygen while inpatient.


Many seemed determined to argue with even a simple two-word tweet from their nemesis.








Some suggested Trump should feel worse, pointing to the more than 200,000 Americans who have died with the virus. The president has been blamed for not doing enough to control the epidemic and has been accused of playing down its impact.






Though others pointed to Trump’s fortunate and speedy ‘recovery’ despite multiple risk-multiplying conditions – old age and obesity – as proof the pandemic was not as dire a threat to world health as officials have warned.
