been and presumably still is unwell and still is contagious to a degree but he's standing on the balcony of the white house as marine one leaves. he's taken his mask off he is standing for the cameras. as we've been talking about this moment as much about his return from hospital as it is about showing that he is back on the campaign trail in fact that's what he said he tweeted just before he left the hospital saying that he'll be back on the campaign trail and that the as he calls them fake news media don't reflect what's really happening in the polls. 7 pm on the u.s. east coast washington d.c. the white house marine one leaves the south lawn of the white house having just. left the president back at home after 3 days in hospital. continuing coverage here on al-jazeera of donald trump's departure from walter reed medical hospital his return to the white house and then. correspondent who's been at walter reed all day then what who knows what happens next. well what we know is that the president's going to be closely monitored and you narrated us beautifully through that moment because a

so much happened, it's tough to remember, the second balcony moment staged this week. the first, of course, happened all the way back on monday when the president fresh from the hospital, fresh from walter reed, he returned, he ripped that mask off, saluted marine one. some analysts including the president's former communications director comparing that moment to the infamous balcony scenes of mussolini. >> you've got, you know, i don't know, the american mussolini standing on the balcony. we never had a president stand on the balcony and do what he just said. 20 lessons from the 20th century. great to have you with us. >> what did you make of the balcony moments and the comparison we heard from anthony scaramucci to mussolini? >> i think you can draw a couple of things from the balcony. the first, someone who has access. few people get excellent care whereas most people are expected to risk death. the second, i think, the second symbol which is related is that of the authoritarian or the straw man, or even as mr. scaramucci says, the fascist. mr. trump doing, saying i

whatever brief means, you know, on the balcony? >> yeah fred. the white house hasn't said a lot about the format for the event and about the structure out there on the south lawn but from the images that we are seeing, people are milling about closely in a crowd that you might expect to see in any normal campaign event. we are not seeing a lot of attempts at socially distancing so far. that could come into play because remember the south slaun a very large outdoor space. it is much larger tan the rose garden so there is more room for social distancing by the white house not providing a lot of insight into the teps they are taking to keep team spaced apart. >> seems like it calls for more personal discipline which to adhere to six feet, you know, spacing between them and of course the masks. sarah westwood, thank you so much. appreciate that. >>> and this just in to cnn. the latest forecast of an influential coronavirus model from the university of washington projects almost 395,000 u.s. coronavirus deaths by february. it's about 180,000 more liv

certainly, being up on a balcony or mussolini and how they took to the balcony. this has all the makings of what strong men do and it's very, very disturbing. >> abby phillip, is there no one in that building who can tell the president this is a bad idea or steer him in a different direction? >> well, clearly not. i mean, the president has done a number of things that don't make any sense, for someone who is recovering from a contagious virus. the -- not the least of which is, you know, coming home from the hospital. immediately, going up to the top of the balcony to record a promo video and taking his mask off in the presence of other people. and then, he insists on working from the oval office when, as president, he can literally work from anywhere. look. this is a president, who wants to do what he wants to do. and he is surrounded by aides who will let him. and on top of that, i think what we will see tomorrow and with a lot of the other events next week is just a president who wants adulation. he wants large crowds. as many people as possible. but there are

masks but no social distancing for donald trump's balcony address at the white house while doubts remain over the president's covert status. hello i'm barbara starr you're watching our life in london also coming up on the program young young showcases new long range missiles during a pre-dawn raid marking the 75th anniversary of the war 1st part of a humanitarian ceasefire in nagorno-karabakh but is anyone following it armenia and azerbaijan accuse each other of serious violations. celebrations in kyrgyzstan as a new prime minister is named but the opposition says it will only strengthen the president's grip on power. hello thank you for joining us u.s. president donald trump has held his 1st public event since testing positive for the coronavirus trump addressed 200 of his supporters from the white house balcony many were not wearing masks despite accuse ations the white house hosted a so-called coronavirus super spreader event just last month trump use this address to discredit covert 1000 lockdown policies while also attacking democratic presidential candidate joe biden our white hous

when he's on the balcony.and and on the balcony, you don't know if someone was doing his makeup before that in close proximity that they are worried about. and on the lawn. if everyone knows someone, so they protect themselves and their neighbors. and sending the wrong message, in terms of traveling next week. started, look at the cdc recommendation where you can stop isolating, infecting other people who are contagious. for his own health of he was my patient i would have to assess how they are feeling so we know for many people with covid-19 take several weeks to get on full functioning. >> i apologize, i want to confirm a couple hundred or couple thousand but there is a concern the white house itself has become a superspreader. others talked about it since the amy coney barrett event a couple weeks back when so many went there, only a couple hundred or so but only a dozen tested positive for the virus. i wonder does that make the white house the winner, how much they keep on top of a dangerous place? what d

president turns the white house balcony into a campaign podium in his 1st public appearance since he was diagnosed with coronavirus. hello i'm barbara starr you're watching al-jazeera live from london also coming up on the program pyongyang showcases a new long range missiles during a pre-dawn parade marking the 75th anniversary of the workers party a humanitarian cease fire in a corner kind of back but is anyone following it armenia and azerbaijan accused each other of serious violations. and celebrations in kyrgyzstan as a new prime minister is named by the opposition says it will only strengthen the president's grip on power. u.s. president donald trump has held his 1st public event since testing positive for the coronavirus trump address 200 of his supporters from the white house balcony focusing on what he has described as law and order that most of the people attending were part of a campaign urging black americans to leave the democratic party many were not wearing masks despite accusations at the white house hosted a so-called coronavirus super spreader event last month trump

he'll appear on the south lawn balcony around about 2pm eastern time.he balcony he was on when he returned from walter reed hospital and took off his mask. the events he will be hosting will be about law and order. that's the issue that donald trump is very strong on, and the issue that he likes to talk about the most. although the white house has said it's not a campaign issue, it's a white house event. i think it will be very hard to imagine donald trump not bringing up the democrats given we are about four weeks away from election day. interestingly the white house has released some rules as well about tomorrow's event. whoever attends must bring a mask, they must wear it and they will also be subjected to coronavirus tests, questions and so forth. and those rules will also be in place for this big rally that he's holding in florida on monday, and it's all very ironic given that the main event, which is him, as far as we know still has covid—19. and as you said, the election is four weeks away. how has this whole incident with the head of state getti

the "evita" balcony far away from the masses. you pointed out how many people to actually get him there and the staff to staff the event. possible points of contact that pose an infection risk. it's not just the president. we already know there are at least dozens of white house staff that have been infected, and likely to be more in the next several weeks, and those people are walking around asymptomatic at this point and could potentially give the infection to other people. >> yeah. by the president's account, day eight give kwhn what he told us. in florida, that's day ten. ladies, thank you. >>> breaking news to share on delta. that storm has been down graded to a tropical depression moving across mississippi now. residents in louisiana have been left picking up the pieces after that storm hit parts of the state as a category 2 hurricane, and this just six weeks after hurricane laura ravaged the area. one of those places is west lake where my friend and colleague nbc's cal perry is standing by with the latest. these back-to-ba

the president will be speaking, as you mentioned, from the white house balcony. white house communications director told us reporters here at the white house this morning that the president's speech is expected to be brief. they're not expecting at this moment, at least, a long speech from the president. it all seems to be part of this effort all week from the president to project the sense that he's perfectly fine, that he's back to normal, holding this event less than a week after he was released from the hospital. of course, we are still awaiting results of the president's latest coronavirus test. we do not know if he is giving this speech today while still positive for covid-19. we do know that yesterday the president said he's no longer taking any medication for the virus, though, and he did reveal for the first time that in a lung scan that was conducted at some point since his diagnosis, doctors did detect some congestion. >> the president is also scheduled to hold a rally in the orlando area on monday, and minnesota officials just announced that at least

what is essentially a campaign rally, this from the white house balcony. far as we and the public know, the president is stid ll infect with the virus, all amid new fallout from the rose garden ceremony just two weeks ago today nearly a u.s. issen who atte atte attended the event got covid. and former governor chris christie was released this morning from the hospital re-of-treated with coronavirus. tweeting i'll have more to say about this next week. >>> we're just 24 days away from the election the second presidential debate slotted for this thursday officially cancelled after the president refused to participate virtually. joe biden will instead hold a town hall on abc. >>> let's go to the white house right now. nbc's josh letterman joins me from there. josh what do we know about this event, this scheduled, what? 2:00 p.m., a couple hours from now. what's the layout like? how many people attending? even know who's been invited? >> includes supporters of law enforcement and what the white house that's built a peaceful protest for law and order. in the la

outside he was telling us about how actually cramped it is inside there donald trump walking up to the balcony on the south lawn of the white house and this is the moment which has got a lot of people concerned taking off his mask it's a photo opportunity definitely you can see the cameras flashing in a moment as he projects that image of a strong president returning to his official residence giving the thumbs up but he taken his mask off and he headed into the white house after that still in a contagious state and mike hanna our correspondent in washington who's been with us through all of that mean we understand why the president does these sorts of things that is what he does he likes to project strength but so many people looking at that will be thinking you're taking your mask off and you're going inside. well the president shortly before he left the hospital was treating our that he feels better than he did 20 years ago the fact that he takes the mask off their wealth photographs are being taken or possibly because photographs were being taken and then walks into the blue room of the res

grand theatrical gesture of whipping off his mask in this sunset boulevard episode on the white house balcony last night. he takes his mask off so the american people can see it. masks save lives. social distancing, isolating might help also, but after this he turned around and walked into the white house. he walked into this coronavirus hot zone. he walked into this building where we've seen people in hazmat suits cleaning up because so many people have been infected. it looks like chernobyl inside now they're scrubbing it down so carefully. beyond that, there is so much that this white house is now withholding. they say don't be afraid of coronavirus. the president says. but they won't tell us if the president's lungs have been damaged, whether or not he has pneumonia. when was his last negative test? that matters not just for him, but dozens, maybe hundreds of others who came in contact with him. now, these people are not being called in any kind of organized contact tracing effort. cnn has just learned from a federal health official the white house has declined -- declined offers from the

tomorrow, hundreds of supporters will be on the grass there and the president will be on the balcony, he'll be at a safer style. hundreds of people. two weeks to the day since the ceremony for amy coney barrett since contracted barrett. today anthony fauci called the affair of what it truly was. >> had a super spreader event in the white house. it was a situation where people were crowded together were not wearing masks so the data speak for themselves. >> a super spreader event from dr. fauci. dr. birx added "the only thing that'll prevent the next wave is us, us doing the responsible thing and public spaces and private spaces". sounds like she did not get the memo from a certain commander-in-chief or the note from his doctor clearing him from public appearances. as for the rest of the content, dr. sanjay gupta joins us in a minute had this to say to anderson last night. >> there is no temperature on here for somebody who had an infection and that's key. that's not having a temperature is one of the criteria for starting to come out of isolation and they did not mention temperature h

. >> reporter: i'm on a low-level balcony of a very large hotel. so it's blocking the wind coming from this way but not this way the crew is happily inside this is as bad as it's gotten, shep this is pretty bad this feels like hurricane-force winds. what it's doing, there's a little beach behind me that comes off of this cove and it's clearly moving the sand off of the beach. as these bands come through, it gets really, really bad. >> i believe it. i'm looking at the radar and the eye wall, the strongest winds, the eye wall, that's it. it's on you right this second. >> reporter: it feels like we're getting buried now in it what is sad about when you come to this hotel in the middle of a pandemic, this hotel is packed like all the hotels in lake charles. so people are sheltering and trying to keep an eye on it. this storm is so fast-moving that maybe in a couple of hours it's past them but until the eye wall gets past and then that storm shifts, you're really not out of danger. that wind shifting at times can be really dangerous, especially with deb

we don't need the president of the united states at the balcony spouting the kind of stuff that he's self-serving rhetoric we just heard and the virus is going to, again, magically disappear. we need to know where the virus is with the president. we need to know what the virus has done to affect his physical health, whether or not he still has pneumonia of the kind that afflicts patients with covid-19. we need to know his test results. we need to know the testing regime itself which has been covered up. and for what. because of the ability of america's adversaries to take advantage of the situation. the president, from what we've seen in some of the clips you showed us and republicans on capitol hill themselves saying he has shown himself to be demonstrably unstable in what physically, mentally unstable in the last week and we need to know what his condition really is. nor has his doctors or family or anyone else with the ability to get the records. his real condition. >> i want to hear from the doctors as well. we'll take a short break. we'll be right back. a live bookkeeper is help

he delivered a speech from the white house balcony in his first public event since his hospital stay.ing alone and not wearing a mask, mrtrump told hundreds of supporters that he was feeling "great". he boasted about his record and attacked his rival, joe biden, claiming the democratic leader would turn the us into a socialist nation. want you to know our nation is i want you to know our nation is going to defeat this terrible china virus, as we call it. and we are producing powerful therapies and drugs and we are healing the sick and we are going to recover and the vaccine is coming out very, very quickly. in record time, as you know. it's coming out very soon we have great, great companies doing it and they're going to be distributed and we threw our military will be very, very rapidly. here's our north america correspondent, david willis... donald trump of course hasn't been seen in public apart from white house produced videos since he returned to the white house on monday following his stint in hospital. this was his opportunity to say to his to support us, i'm back. he's clearly

accompanied by the stolen theme music from "the avengers," trump walked up the stairs for the kind of balcony flourish we used to see on overseas newsreels. his first act was to remove his mask. he was richly rewarded for the spectacle when sean hannity said tonight -- comparing him to fdr and churchill. he went inside only to later return to the doorway to record a campaign video including a message contrary to the advice of every medical health professional. >> i learned so much about coronavirus. and one thing that's for certain. don't let it dominate you. don't be afraid of it. you're going to beat it. we have the best medical equipment. we have the best medicines. all developed recently. and you're going to beat it. i went, i didn't feel so good. and two days ago i could have left two days ago. two days ago i felt great. like better than i have in a long time. i stood out front. i led. nobody that's a leader would not do what i did. and i know there's a risk, there's a danger. but that's okay. and now i'm better. and maybe i'm immune. i don't know. but don't let it dominate your lives. v

it was a typical campaign performance he was on a balcony with some distance from. supporters there who were there to see him speak and the way he looked pretty good he's in the last several days you made a big deal of doing videos and other events to make him look like he's your business as normal but you know you certainly have a better idea if he was more closely interacting with people i think that will get that once he regains the campaign trail and has more interaction with the press reporters they will get a much better idea of exactly how he's doing and how he's feeling but from today and certainly he's trying to project the image of that he's returned to normal with just less than 3 weeks left of the election now up 250000 cases per day still around 1000. and the message he's trying to project is kind of business as normal we need to return to the economy as soon as possible we don't want to shut down the economy again and so that certainly with these events with the rallies the large rallies that airplane hangars and things like that he would like the subj

across the nation trump took off his mask and addressed hundreds of supporters from a white house balcony to declare that he's feeling great as he recovers from 1900 he told the chairing crowd that the pandemic which has killed over 200000 americans is going to disappear. i want you to know are they going to defeat this terrible china viruses we call it i and we're producing powerful therapies and drugs and really they're sick and we're going to recover and the vaccine is coming out very very quickly in record time as you know it's coming out very very soon we have great great companies doing it and they'll be distributing it and we will through our military very very rapidly. joining us is correspondent's nice almost kind she is in washington covering the events for us. how did trump's 1st public appearance go. tell me you know you said it this was a president trump's 1st outing since being released from the hospital and i think it's important to talk a little bit about the optics of the president a little bit over a week ago tweeting that he in the 1st lady had tested positive for cover

but before entering the white house trump stood on the balcony and took off his mosque even though his recovery is far from over and he will continue to receive treatment for a few more days transman given experimental drugs and a steroid reserved usually for the seriously ill but less than a months the election he is eager to project strength despite his infection minutes after. this moment on the white house balcony trump tweeted out a video encouraging people not to let the virus control their lives and i learned so much about corona virus and one thing that's for certain don't let it dominate you don't be afraid of it you're going to beat it we have the best medical equipment we have the best medicines all developed recently and you going to beat it i went i didn't feel so good and 2 days ago i could have left 2 days ago 2 days ago felt great like better than i have in a long time i said just recently better than 20 years ago don't let it dominate don't let it take over your lives don't let that happen we have the greatest country in the world we're going back we're going back to w

and saluting, and so on the balcony and saluting, and so on— on the balcony and saluting, and so onrom my own polling that first polls to come out after trump was admitted from hospital — the short answer is it's working for him. we had biden leading 49—47, meaning that from previous polls that we've done, biden's numbers are about the same, frozen. it is trump who in the last two months, the last month, and the last week has gone from the low 40s into a 47. he strengthened his support among republicans, strengthened among conservatives, among voters over 65, amongst whites and evangelicals — those are his base, but he stronger amongst his base that he's been in a while. is out because people are feeling sympathetic to him, to put it bluntly? honestly i don't know. we didn't ask why, but it could very well be that they saw the reality of the fact that these are conservatives now — the reality that joe biden could win, now they're paying attention and saying we shouldn't fool around with us any more. but that's just speculation, i can only go by what the numbers say. do see this moun

the president was there on the balcony. yes, he was not in the crowd. but as you're watching all of this, especially when we don't know whether he's the contagious, we don't know the status of a lot of white house staffers, what's your reaction to the event earlier today? >> good afternoon, erica. you know, my colleagues, public health officials, the cdc has been working tirelessly to create guidelines so people can follow the science, be safe in their isolation guidelines, in their masking, in their quarantine guidelines, and in their contact tracing. the washington, d.c., department of public health has specifically said, no gatherings over the size of 50. when you gather at 50, you should be seated. the seats should be six feet apart. there should be no mingling, so this has been a flagrant, irresponsible regard for all of those guidelines. the other thing i just want to point out is that if he was talking to the black and hispanic communities, this is what i think he should say. they have two and a half full times the number of cases. they have five

and then posing for pictures at the top of the balcony for all to see the president very much wanting americans to know that he is still standing after this tough bout with coronavirus where we saw his oxygen levels drop twice over the weekend doctors say from here on out, they will take care of him with the white house medical unit they have state-of-the-art medical care at the white house and they say that that is enough to monitor him and give him the additional care he needs they say he needs another dose of remdesivir later on today and then they will take him off of that. he is on a whole host of other medicines as well. so all of that being done by the white house medical unit meanwhile we saw joe biden last night on a town hall with lester holt, a real contrast in styles here we saw as president trump arrived at the white house, one of the first things he did when he got to the top of that balcony, he took off his mask and he stood there mask les masn front of the whole country biden talking about the value of wearing masks and edge if a sizing the point of that here's what he

he delivered a speech from the white house balcony — his first public event since his hospital stay.g alone and not wearing a mask, mr trump told hundreds of supporters that he was feeling great. he boasted about what he claimed was his positive record and attacked his rival, joe biden. at the start of the address the president told his supporters he was feeling great and repeated his claim that a vaccine is imminent. i want you to know our nation is going to defeat this terrible china virus, as we call it. and we're producing powerful therapies and drugs, and we're healing the sick and we are going to recover, and the vaccine is coming out very, very quickly in record time, as you know. it is coming out very, very soon. we have great, great companies doing it and they will be distributing it, and we will through our military very, very rapidly. through the power of the american spirit, i think, more than anything else. signs, medicine, will eradicate the china virus once and for all. we will get rid of it all across the world. you see big fla reu ps across the world. you see big fla

from the balcony to 2,000 people?something, i don't give a shit -- i'm sorry. >> you can't say that. >> hold on. i don't give a damn. i just did it. i don't give a damn what trump says on the truman balcony today or any other day, because he doesn't speak the truth and this day for me is a glorious -- what are you going to say? >> excuse me, jonathan -- it's irresponsible! it's spreading covid! >> irresponsible. >> go ahead. >> stop listening to donald trump. stop listening and get out the vote. tell your friends to vote. and don't give up until everyone you know votes. >> mandy patinkin, kathryn groady, thank you both so very much for being on the show today. we got to go. mandy, got to go. really sorry. >> got to go. okay. ten morn seconds, but i don't get t. and stacey abrams and tuesday night at 8:00 p.m. eastern. i'm really sorry, audience, for the salty language, the bad language there that you heard in that, in that segment. that's our show for today. more "am joy" tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. eastern. for now, stay

and again look at those images of him on the balcony.strength to you, removing the mask and trying to catch his breath every time he opened his mouth? what he said specifically yesterday before he even left the hospital was, quote, this was in a tweet, feeling really good, don't be afraid of covid. don't let it dominate your life. we have toefld under the trump administration some really great drugs and knowledge. i feel better than i did 20 years ago. here now is part of the message the president recorded after, without a mask, turning and walking into the white house residence. >> i just left walter reed dical center and it's really something very special. the doctors, the nurses, the first responders, and i learned so much about coronavirus. and one thing that's for certain. don't let it dominate you. don't be afraid of it. you are going to beat it. we have the best medical equipment. we have the best medicines. all developed recently. and you are going to beat it. i went. i didn't feel so good, and two days ago i could have left two

and all these guywise the autocratic fetish, they certainly do like the balconies, don't they? 10,000 souls in 13 days. none of them had quite the care this president had had thus far in his illness. we're going to fit in a break here. both of these gentlemen have agreed to stay with us. we'll come back to talk about the state of this presidential race, let's not forget. e state l race, let's not forget a camping. ...when their windshield got a chip. they drove to safelite for a same-day repair. and with their insurance, it was no cost to them. >> woman: really? >> tech: that's service you can trust. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ we're going to fit in a break we're going to fit in a break big corporations opposing prop 15 are using scare tactics so false, a judge ordered them struck from the voter guide. but the following facts are not in dispute. prop 15 closes big corporate tax loopholes, protects homeowners, and cuts small business taxes. but that's not all, by closing the loopholes, communities can invest in local schools, ppe for nurses, and our firefi

he will be up on a balcony.s remember, that packed rose garden ceremony, two weeks ago, where there was no social distancing. very few masks worn. it's now called a superspreader event. lot to discuss. cnn's white house correspondent, kaitlan collins, is here. and our medical analyst, dr. jonathan reiner, as well. kaitlan, the president says he's been retested in that interview. wasn't this interview taped a few hours ago? if he was negative, wouldn't the white house have released the results by now? at least, they should have, by now, if he is. >> so, if you are looking at all the context clues here, you are going to have to assume the p z president did not test negative. here it is now 10:00 at night and the white house has not released anything about the president taking a test today. we only found out that he did because of this interview. and, don, they also haven't released a letter from his doctor. this week, every day, at least we've gotten a statement from dr. conley since he hasn't briefed reporters in

he is sitting on the balcony and undermining everything that people like -- experts like dr.ci and other doctors on the task force have told him and i also thought, this is more dangerous than what we saw before because now he is using himself as an example of telling people, you know, don't let covid disrupt your life. you will be just fine. that is not exact correct. people are going to go out there and disregard, continue to follow his guidance but they don't have the same access to medical and therapies that he has and we don't know. it is a personal thing on how a body will react and i thought -- i was just -- i found it completely despicable that he could have changed the narrative. he had a chance to press a reset but on the but doubled down on what he's been doing for the past few months since this pandemic started and i find it completely dangerous and unacceptable. >> michael, peter alexander is reporting that trump aides say if he shows up to the next debate as a survivor and invincible hero. >> yeah. that's if he can catch a breath through the debate. yeah. he is

he'll be up on a balcony. let's remember that packed rose garden ceremony two weeks ago where there was no social distancing, very few masks worn. it's now called a super spreader event. lots to discuss. cnn's white house correspondent reiner here as well. kaitlin, the president says he has been retested. wasn't this interview taped a few hours ago? if he was negative, wouldn't the white house have released the results by now? at least they should have by now, if he is. >> they said if he tested negative they were going to let us know. if you're looking at the context, you're going to have to assume the president did not test negative, because we were told -- this interview was taped around 4:00 this afternoon, so here it is 10:00 at night and the white house has not released anything about the president taking a test today. we only found out that he did because of this interview. and don, they also haven't released a letter from his doctor. this week every day we've gotten at least a statement from dr. conley

i want to get it not come i don't know if you saw it, the president standing on the balcony and takingou said it well. the commonality a lot of his actions this year since the start of the pandemic has been appealing to his political base which is not big enough to win an election, and alienating voters in the middle of the country are crucial to winning and self not to be too blase about the president's health, but he is flaunting something that i think a lot of americans will look at and be disgusted by some of the first polling we have scenes seen in over the weekend, two to one margin they felt the white house was not trustworthy enough when talking about his health and that the president was acting irresponsibly. the president walking in and taking his mask off, i think it reveals republican campaigns concede this president that most voters don't. as somebody whose personal willpower and personal health is hurting —— turning the country around for a lot of voters. they see him as an executive is not modelling the behaviour and that has been a huge boom to joe behaviour and that ha

be brave and on the balcony, just like all my other past proteges. you are strong as an ox. you are the picture of health you-- are you feeling all right? i mean, i know i'm just a manifestation of your ego, but you seem a little shaky. >> he is sick. he should put his mask on and protect those around him. >> shut up. no one invited you up here. mr. president, please, come. we must project false confidence. i'll dictate a statement to you. >> i just left walter reed. >> i've learned so much about the coronavirus. >> and i learned so much about coronavirus. >> and now i'm better >> and now i'm better. >> and maybe i'm immune. i don't know. >> and maybe i'm immune i don't know.

his climbing the balcony out of breath in an authoritarian theater standing on the truman balcony, saluting to god knows who. you look at his conduct and comportment today. nobody believes this guy has a vaccine ready for the country. it's all lies. it's all falling apart. so organizationally, what we're seeing is chaos and collapse. it's all coming down. you have a rasmussen poll that has the president down 12 points. you have fox news poll has him down 10 points. he's losing. he's getting crushed by joe biden and by senator harris. and, look, you know, senator harris tonight -- remember one thing, she's -- she's debating a guy who is a spokesperson for the cigarette industry. mike pence cashed checks to tell americans that cigarettes were good for you. that's who this guy is. he's the biggest fraud short of lindsey graham and donald trump in american politics. maybe he's tied with lindsey graham. they're about even, i suppose, but, look, this is a guy who lied in his speech at the republican convention more than any other speaker, including trump. this is someone who will say anything. th

up next of his standing at the balcony.. there is another vantage point where the president just taken off his mask, stands at the balcony and then you see a photographer quickly behind him and when we were speaking to doctors earlier he was standing alone. he wasn't. there was a pher close in proximity to a man who has been diagnosed with covid-19 and still very much sick with it. >> let me address the first point and get to that. the first, in times like these the commander-in-chief needs to express confidence but very important to our allies and adversaries watching closely to see is he projecting an image of strength? that's what he did last night. precautions were taken. his mask was not taken off until he was distanced from other. the fraefr photographer. s know to wear masks and when we work with the president wear your mask, keep your distance. this is much a due about nothing. the world and american people needed to see the their president strong and leading. >> sandra: it was ap.

the president drawing criticism after this moment when he walked up to a balcony and then removed his mask. then shot a cam pane-style video that has just been released in which he thanked his doctors and said he learned so much about coronavirus telling americans don't let it dominate you, don't be afraid of it. the president also touted the unique medical treatment he received saying now i'm better we begin with hallie jackson at the white house for us hallie, a confident donald trump but there's a lot we don't know. >> reporter: that's right. the return to the white house sent a message but man not the one he wanted to the news that he is now out of the hospital overshadowed by that maskless moment already you're hearing concerning a the signal to americans. late tonight too the president released a video that it looked like he shot it on this same balcony. the president clearly trying to pump up confidence about his health even as the demand for answers to key questions about it intensifies. impatient patient eager to return home finally does with president trump landing at the wh

after arriving back at the white house yesterday, the president stood on the balcony and removed hisask in a dramatic gesture. he then released a video on social media youb playing his covid diagnosis. still, his own doctors warned he is not out of the woods yet so naomi ruchim is in washington. naomi, what is the president's latest message to the american people when it comes to the coronavirus? >> reporter: anne-marie, clearly the president is trying to portray an image of health and strength telling the american people he beat the virus in a couple of days. he is telling americans not to be afraid of covid-19 and not to let it dominate their lives. still, doctors say he has a lot of room left in his recovery and this comes as many close to the president are still sick with covid-19. president trump walked out of walter reed medical center monday evening, three days after being hospitalized with the coronavirus. >> do you think you might be a super spreader, mr. president? >> reporter: the commander in chief took a helicopter back to the white house where he is receiving treatment.

sure, but she chosen to play a strong man on the balcony. this was last night standing on the balcony. don't cry for him, just go and get tested, reckless. that's reckless. returning from walter reed last night and the first thing he did going inside and coming into contact with people. >> he told americans they should not fear the virus that killed more than 210,000 people. they should not let it dominate their lives. not only because the coronavirus killed more people in this country in this year alone. we also know it is a lie because he said so in february to bob woodward. >> that's a tricky one and a delicate one. >> it is deadly than your strenuous flu. >> people don't realize we lose 25 or 30 pounds a ye,000 people deadly. this is deadly stuff. when he said that back on the 7th. 12 people have been contacted covid-19 in the entire country. he knew about the danger or where he had been told about it. he said nothing. now with 210,000 meamericans de. the west wing is freaking out. the president once again said nothing. our jim acosta is

supporters on hand most of them were wearing masks and the president himself was speaking from the balcony over the south lawn so he was keeping distance but knowing what the risks are that are involved here these images were remarkable and that what did he talk about what we heard in that clip there that he discussed what he calls the china virus defeating the china virus and interestingly he had on hand there a number of black and latino supporters and he called it a peaceful protest for law and order and the reason for that is president trump and his campaign believe that law and order is an issue where he performs well and where he polls well not just among his supporters but also among the broader section of the population so now what we saw is really a president trying to jumpstart his campaign and move the narrative back onto the campaign trail so he wants to resuscitate his campaign but other concerns about his health entirely gone. they're not making that's because we're missing some crucial information at this point namely when was the last time the president had a test wasn't po

>> one trump aide says the staging on the balcony was designed to show strength to the american peopleallies. but with all the questions being raised about whether president trump is healthy enough to lead, another key question arises tonight, if he gets too sick to govern, what happens next? >> there is a real question of whether or not, if real existing responsible leadership prevailed, whether or not the 25th amendment would be invoked to turn over the powers of the presidency to vice president mike pence. >> reporter: the first step would be to determine whether president trump is inkpas at a timed. according to the 25th amendment of the constitution trump could make that determination himself. >> he can notify congress, the house and senate, that he is going to be incapacitated because he'll be sedated on a ventilator, and until he says so, that -- the powers of his office would be transferred to mike pence, who would serve as acting president, until the president's health improved. >> but what if the president is so sick and incoherent that he can't make the determination himself
