Trump says he wants to go ahead with second TV debate despite Covid illness - BBC News

President Trump has said he is prepared to go ahead with the second televised debate against his Democratic rival Joe Biden, despite his treatment for Covid and ongoing questions about the true state of his health.

The president has returned to the White House from hospital and his doctors insist he's doing “extremely well”.

Huw Edwards presents BBC News at Ten reporting by north America editor Jon Sopel.

"Don't ever use the word smart with me." - Donald J, Trump

[pjam]

This is better than anything on prime or Netflix. This is the best reality TV show ever created. But I guess that was his CV wasn’t it.

[hevenzgaming]

where were the best medicines for the 210, 000+ dead?

[hydra]

A leader doesn't put his team and the public at unnecessary risk

[equinoxtabu]

“We have the best medical equipment” but not everyone is able to afford them like u do

[peregrineslim]

As long as they stick Trump in a glass booth, I can't see why the debate can't go ahead. When he speaks out of turn they can turn the glass opaque.

[vanhamgee]

We are all just going to sit back and watch the American show

[gusrion]

From now on stupidity should be a measuring unit in surveys and be counted in Trump.

[flatpancake]

you can't 'fake' that worried look he had when he was digging deep for air while he was standing on that balcony

[boo]

You know he's telling the truth when he plays that invisible accordion

[attahjulius]

Can't wait for the second debate to come

[garyhysell]

Guess he is saying we can all go to Walter Reed and he gets the bill?

[jerryw]

I see he can still play the accordion even though he can't breathe.😂

[luizcadu]

"We have the best equipment, all bought from China"... XD

[nathanrao]

I saw an overweight man in his 70s grasping for breath after contracting covid, while pretending to be okay. I am feeling so upset.

[michealflaithbheartaigh]

Get's covid ....comes out and tells everyone not to worry, we've got the medicines People go into the meltdown. Best election EVER !

[DaSlaughterer]

"That's not how you wear your Chin Strap!"

[bobthebuilder]

Still feeling like 20?? I could see your heavy, heavy breathing, and your really sick in every way.

[wulfrache]

So now we get to watch him spew out nonsense as well as a deadly virus

[lino]
