I feel fantastically
The president phones in to Fox personality Maria Bartirimo, October 11, 2020
TRUMP: There was nobody even close to me yesterday. But, even yesterday, I knew I was free. I beat this crazy, horrible China virus. And it also gives you immunity. I mean, it does give you immunity. Even the, the people that just cannot accept anything, I mean, they just don’t want to accept anything. No. We, I passed the highest test, the highest standards, and I’m in great shape. And I have to tell you, I feel fantastically. I really feel good. And I even feel good by the fact that, you know, the word immunity means something. Having, having really a protective glow, it means something. I think it’s very important to have that. To have that is a very important thing….
As far as medication, I’m not on any medication.
BARTIROMO: That — yes.
TRUMP: Not on any medication.
BARTIROMO: Mm-hmm.
TRUMP …the medications that I took were standard, pretty much routine, other than the one, which is a miracle. It’s the antibody stuff, which is incredible, how it works. And we’re going to be delivering that to hospitals. We’re waiting for the emergency use authorization. And we’re going to be delivering that to hospitals all over the country to take care — and, ultimately, all over the world, because it’s — it’s incredible. Actually, what we have done, Maria, during this short period of time, six, seven months, in terms of labs and doctors and medicines and therapeutics, and not even talking about vaccines, which are going to be phenomenal and coming out very soon, what we have done, nobody else could have done. And I got the FDA to approve things at levels of speed that nobody would have thought possible. It could have taken years, and I got them to do it in weeks. And they did the right thing, by the way. But you will see that very soon with the vaccines. And you will also see it with the antibodies. The antibodies have been fantastic. No, I think I would have done well anyway, I think, you know, I hope. But who wants to take a chance, as the expression goes?
I think I would have been fine. And people have to realize that. And once you, once you do recover, you’re immune. So, now you have a president who doesn’t have to hide in a basement, like his opponent.
BARTIROMO: — yes.
TRUMP: …You have a president who is immune, which is a big — I think, which is a very important thing, frankly….
BARTIROMO: What do you want to do in terms of your policies in a second term, sir?
TRUMP: Well, the first thing we have to do, Maria, is open up our country. You can’t keep all these states closed up, the Democrat states. And they’re not doing well. And the country is doing well. We’re looking like a super V, but, you know, despite the fact — I mean, New York has to open up. New York’s like a ghost town. New York is very sad, what’s going on there, and — and other places. We just won a case in Michigan against the governor, the governor that is — I call her the complainer in chief. All she does is complain, except when she’s on the phone directly. All she does is say, thank you very much for doing such a great job.
..the fact is that you have to open up Wisconsin. You have to open up North Carolina and Pennsylvania. We won another case there about opening it up, because it’s unconstitutional, what these people are doing. So, number one, you have to open it up. You have got to get the kids back in school. And if you look at 99.9 percent with children, I mean, they’re very — their immune systems are very strong.
..we have to get the schools open. We have to get the place open. These people are doing it. And, by the way, after the election, about two minutes after the election, they will announce that they’re opening. And they — they know what they’re doing. Look, they know what they’re doing. And it’s a disgrace.
BARTIROMO: President, as we wrap up here, are there UFOs?
TRUMP: Well, I’m going to have to check on that. I mean, I have heard that. I heard that two days ago. So, I will check on that. I will take a good, strong look at that. But I will tell you this. We now have created a military the likes of which we have never had before, in terms of equipment, the equipment that we have, the weapons that we have.
BARTIROMO: By the way, do you believe Russia and China were spying and knowing our secrets because of Hillary’s unsecured server? Real quick. We have 20 seconds.
TRUMP: Well, I think she was out there with classified information. She was giving it to anybody. It was on Anthony Weiner’s laptop. And the FBI did nothing about it. And the FBI — look, the greatest people in the world are in the FBI. But the top people were scum, absolute scum.
