At one point during his speech, Trump talked about contracting COVID-19. He claimed that everyone else is immune for life, but when he says that he is, he’s told “fake news.” Technically, scientists once hoped that people would have lasting immunity after contracting COVID-19, but there have been increasing reports of some people getting reinfected recently.

Trump said: “On CNN all they’re talking about is COVID — COVID, COVID, COVID. If a plane goes down with 500 people, they don’t talk about it. They’re trying to scare everybody. But you have to lead your life. You have to get out.”
He followed it up, however, by encouraging people to stay vigilant about COVID-19, social distance, and wear a mask, The Columbus Dispatch reported.

Trump said about Biden: “He’s the first politician ever to run saying he’s going to quadruple your taxes. This is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen.” (More specifically, Biden said that people making more than $400,000 would see their taxes raised, but not people making less than that.)
