Trump hails experimental treatment for his virus recovery
(AP Photo/Evan Vucci)WASHINGTON โ President Donald Trump on Wednesday credited an experimental drug treatment with helping his recovery from COVID-19 and suggested his diagnosis could be a โblessing in disguise" in the nation's battle against the pandemic. In a new White House video posted Wednesday evening, Trump said his illness had shed light on an experimental antibody cocktail that he tied to his improved condition. The White House has released only limited details about his condition and treatment, leading to questions about what lies ahead for Trump. Access to Trump for White House aides has been extremely limited since his discharge. He also thanked a supporter who tweeted she โwould wade though a sea of COVID infested water to vote for President Trump on November 3rd."
