JAKARTA - The campaign team for the President of the United States (US) launched a video depicting Trump's success in recovering from COVID-19. The video was protested because it had Dr. Anthony Fauci who spoke out of context.
The message from the video, is simple, that Trump's recovery is proof that he is capable of fighting COVID-19 in his country. The video was released last week after Trump walked out of the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
Trump was previously treated at the medical center for a positive diagnosis of COVID-19. The 30-second advert compliments Trump's personal experience with the virus.
The video also uses a quote from Fauci that seems to compliment Trump's response. "President Trump is recovering from the coronavirus, and so is America," said the narrator of the ad, quoted Tuesday, October 13.
"Together we rise to the challenge, protect our seniors, give them life-saving drugs in record time, at no cost."
Dr. Anthony Fauci said that the Trump campaign team must remove the political advertisement. He called the footage of himself in the video "very unfortunate and very disappointing."
"It is very clear that I am not a political person. And I have never, either directly or indirectly, supported a political candidate," Fauci said, quoted by CNN .
"And to take a statement completely out of context and put it in a statement that is clearly a political campaign advertisement, I think it is very disappointing," he added.
Responding to Fauci, Trump's campaign team communications director Tim Murtaugh said, "These are Dr. Fauci's own words. This video comes from a nationally broadcast television interview in which Dr. Fauci praises the Trump Administration's work. The words spoken are accurate. , and straight from Dr. Fauci's mouth. "
Asked about the possibility of being featured in a future Trump campaign ad, Fauci said, "It would be terrible."
"I hope they don't do that because it will be the kind of game we don't want to play," Fauci said.
The campaign video comes alongside President Donald Trump's aggressive campaign push as national polls against him fall behind. Polls have also declined in a number of key states with less than four weeks to election day.
Even as White House doctors refuse to say when Trump's last negative test was carried out, Trump's campaign team has scheduled a series of live campaigns in the coming days. Fauci said the event, which Trump called using best public health practices, would cause problems.
"Put aside all the trouble about what political implications it has in a rally and put it aside and look at it purely in a public health context. We know that it gets into trouble when you do that. We've seen it when you have a community regulatory situation, where there is one. many people without masks, the data speak for itself. It happened, "said Fauci.
"And now is a worse time to do that because when you look at what is happening in the United States, it is really very troublesome," added Fauci.
