Storyful has verified video footage showing US President Donald Trump throwing a hat into a crowd in Duluth, Minnesota, just one day before he announced testing positive for #covid19
"On Thursday evening, before his own diagnosis was made public, Mr Trump sounded raspy on a call with Iowa voters and in an interview later with Sean Hannity on Fox News. Some aides chalked it up to a busy week of campaigning," the New York Times reported.
During his interview with Sean Hannity on Thursday, Trump said it had been difficult for him and his staff to social distance.
"It's very hard when you're with soldiers, when you are with airmen, when you're with the Marines, and the police officers, I'm with them so much," he told Fox News.
"And when they come over to you, it's hard to say, 'stay back, stay back'. You know, it's a tough kind of a situation, it's a terrible thing.
"I just went for a test, and we'll see what happens. I mean, who knows … I was surprised to hear with Hope, but she's a very warm person with them."
