On Tuesday, there was a Trump campaign video that was removed on Twitter. The video was posted by Trump’s campaign account. The video featured President Trump’s head overlaying a 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk.
In the video, Aiyuk leaped over Eagles safety Marcus Epps during a football game which then lead him to score a 38-yard touchdown. The campaign video had Trump overlaying Aiyuk and a coronavirus graphic overlaying Epps.
According to Newsweek [1], “the move, according to the outlet, seemed to indicate that “Trump had hurdled over coronavirus as easily as Aiyuk and jumped over Epps on his way to score.” The conclusion of this campaign video included an anti-Trump protestor screaming “No!” when Trump was inaugurated back in 2016.
After this video was released on Twitter, it got violated for copyright and was taken down. On the Team Trump Twitter account the video was disabled and reads “This media has been disabled in response to a report by the copyright owner.”
In response to this tweet [1], Aiyuk texted his agent Ryan Williams the campaign video and asked “can they do this?” According to Newsweek [1], Williams said that the NFL was trying to get the video taken down for copyright infringement.
After returning to the White House, President Trump [1] has been receiving the best care. The President’s physician stated “that while Trump had met the discharge requirements, he was “not entirely out of the woods yet.” “The president was undergoing a steroid therapy deployed to tackle severe cases of the virus.”
Over on Twitter, Trump has been keeping everyone updated on his recovery from COVID. According to his physician “Trump has been prescribed the anti-inflammatory steroid dexamethasone, Regeneron’s monoclonal antibody therapy REGN-COV, which mimics the proteins the body creates to fight infection, and the antiviral drug remdesivir.”
FEELING GREAT!

Trump hinted “he would resume his campaigning ahead of the presidential elections on November 3, tweeting he “will be back on the campaign trail soon.”
