Trump claims he has a ‘protective glow’ – Queensland Times

US President Donald Trump's doctor has announced he is no longer considered a risk of infecting other people with the novel coronavirus, and the President has claimed he is now "immune" and has a "protective glow".

Mr Trump's doctor Sean Conley released a memo on Sunday clearing him.

"By currently recognised standards, he is no longer considered a transmission risk to others," Dr Conley said.

"Now at day 10 from symptom onset, fever-free for well over 24 hours and all symptoms improved, the assortment of advanced diagnostic tests obtained reveal there is no longer evidence of actively replicating virus," he added.

The White House first announced he had been diagnosed with COVID-19 on October 1.

Mr Trump was ready to declare victory over the virus on Monday morning (AEDT) as he returned to Fox News for an interview with Maria Bartiromo, days after he called in and spoke to her on the network for almost an hour last week.

"The note which says you are no longer considered a transmission risk, does this suggest you no longer have COVID Sir?" Ms Bartiromo asked.

"Yes, and not only that it seems like I'm immune," Mr Trump said.

He said he could be "immune" for "maybe a long time, maybe a short time, it could be a lifetime, no body really knows but I'm immune," Mr Trump claimed.

"The President is in very good shape to fight the battles," he added.

"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 really a protective glow means something," Mr Trump said.

US Senator for Kentucky Rand Paul, a staunch libertarian, said early Monday morning that he'd spoken to the President and that he "sounds great".

Mr Paul added that Mr Trump was also "ending the war in Afghanistan" and wants "a stop to our endless wars", with a desire for troops to be home "by Christmas".

The US is preparing to vote for either the re-election of Donald Trump or the installation of Joe Biden on November 3.

More than 214,000 deaths have been contributed to COVID-10 in the US.

Outside of the White House, protestors held demonstrations expressing their discontent with Trump as president and outrage over Kenosha, Wis., police shooting Jacob Blake, a Black man, in the back seven times at close range in front of his three children on Sunday afternoon.

The conservative senator tweeted early Friday morning that he and his wife were attacked by an "angry mob" as they were leaving the White House.

Just got attacked by an angry mob of over 100, one block away from the White House. Thank you to @DCPoliceDept for literally saving our lives from a crazed mob.

I went about three or four blocks from the White House ... and I walked right into a Black Lives Matter rally. And it was very similar to the experience Rand Paul had."

Moore, who has advised the Trump White House on economic policy, added: "There were many, many [convention attendees] who were being harassed. It was a very dangerous situation. They started screaming lewd and vile things at me."

Sen. Rand Paul claims protesters who confronted him were ‘paid’ to be there, offers no evidence – The Denver Channel

WASHINGTON Hundreds of demonstrators gathered around the White House for a noise demonstration and dance party to try to drown out President Donald Trumps speech accepting the Republican presidential nomination.

Later, a crowd enveloped U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky as he left the convention and demanded that he acknowledge police shooting victim Breonna Taylor.

The crowd surrounded Paul as he returned to his hotel in Washington after attending Trump's address at the White House. Video shared on social media shows some protesters shoving police officers escorting Paul as others yell at him to "say her name."

Warning: The video below contains explicit language.

In a Fox News interview Friday morning, Paul called the incident "horrific," and said that he believed he would have been maimed or killed had it not been for the police.

During the interview, Paul also floated a conspiracy that the protesters had been "paid" to be there, claiming without evidence that their presence in D.C. was the result of "intestate criminal traffic across state lines."

"We're going to find out that these people are hired to be here and are from out of town," Paul said.

In terms of calling for justice for Taylor, Paul pointed to his record of criminal justice reform including a bill he introduced in June that would stop the use of no-knock warrants like the one that resulted in Taylor's death.

"The irony is lost on these idiots," Paul said. "...these people were unhinged."

There was no indication Trump heard the protesters as he delivered his speech from the White House's South Lawn on Thursday night.

But there were a few points when a mix of sirens, music and blowhorns could be heard in the background and spectators in the back turned to see where the sounds were coming from.

At the RNC, Rand Paul Is Right About the Need To End Wars, but Trump Hasn’t Ended Any – Reason

Tonight Sen. Rand Paul (RKy.) spoke on behalf of President Donald Trump's reelection. His remarks were heavily influenced by Paul's own longstanding positions against excessive foreign military interventions, but only loosely tied to Trump's actual record.

"I flew with him to Dover Air Force Base to honor two soldiers whose remains were coming home from Afghanistan," Paul said. "I will never forget that evening. I can tell you the president not only felt the pain of these families but the president is committed to ending this war.

"President Trump is the first president in a generation to seek to end war rather than start one. He intends to end the war in Afghanistan. He is bringing our men and women home."

You all may remember that Barack Obama ran for president also promising to end our overseas wars, and it did not happen.

As we approach the end of Trump's first term, we cannot help but notice that the president has not, in fact, ended any wars and has in fact risked escalation of military engagement between the United States and Iran when he approved the drone-strike assassination of an Iranian general.

It's true that Trump is promising to bring thousands of troops home from Afghanistan, and that's wonderful, assuming it all happens and he completes the pullout. The Trump administration is, in reality, resisting any and all attempts by Congress to rescind the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) that previously gave President George W. Bush permission to wage war against Al Qaeda in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In his speech, Paul railed against Biden for supporting this war. But when Congress, in a rare act of bipartisanship, passed a resolution stopping the president in engaging in any further military action against Iran without congressional approval, Trump vetoed it. Paul voted for this resolution and has consistently voted to rescind the AUMF.

And despite Paul's attempts to insist tonight that Biden and the Democrats will continue overseas wars or start new ones, the congressional record shows that in reality, Democrats have been joining with Paul, agreeing with him in votes to bring the troops back home. It's actually the White House and hawks within the Republican Party who have really been standing in the way.

Now both the Democratic Party 2020 platform and Trump's 50-point plan for his second term promise, yet again, to end the wars and bring the troops home. For those who truly oppose foreign military intervention, the appropriate way to look at Trump's first term is not unlike Obama's. This promise has not been kept.
