Trump's Florida rally proved to be quite a spectacle, especially for Anderson Cooper...
The scenes at Trump's Florida rally on Tuesday have garnered a lot of attention... for all the wrong reasons.
Including Anderson Cooper...
Now, it's been a whirlwind few weeks in the world of American politics.

It was confirmed on October 2nd that President Trump and the First Lady, Melania Trump, had been diagnosed with the virus that has already killed over 208,000 Americans.Trump tweeted this...
Though, at this time, he didn't give any further details regarding his and Melania's symptoms.Immediately after his diagnosis, the president went into self-isolation...
@realDonaldTrump @FLOTUS We have your back President Trump!!! Get well soon 🇺🇸— oregon4TRUMP (@oregon4TRUMP)1601614527.0
But on the other hand...
@realDonaldTrump @FLOTUS I just can’t be sad. 200,000 Americans have died and he hasn’t shed one tear. That’s 67 9/… https://t.co/jY0xtfdE63— Keller Keller (@Keller Keller)1601615591.0
Many laughed at the irony of his diagnosis...

But many people were, quite rightfully, feeling concerned about Trump's chances of surviving the deadly virus...

Because even though it has a fairly steady survival rate, seventy-four-year-old President Trump is actually in the high-risk category.And, just days after his diagnosis, our fears were confirmed.

After receiving a cocktail of drugs as a "precautionary measure", Trump was transported to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre.However, he gave off the impression that he was extremely unaffected by the virus.
Trump gave a video update from the hospital, in which he praised the "incredible" Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, and revealed that he had "met some of the soldiers" and was planning a "surprise" visit.And, of course, nothing can keep the president hospitalized for too long.
Now, telling a country to not be afraid of a virus that has killed 200,000 Americans is an extremely reckless thing to say...

But Trump's dangerous outlook on the virus isn't the only thing pressing on people's minds...

What does this mean for his presidential campaign?Well, he has been plowing full steam ahead with his campaign efforts...

And, despite his recent COVID-19 diagnosis, he is back on the campaign trail.Trump was in the battleground state of Florida on Tuesday...
The track alludes to a number of homosexual themes including muscle worship and the fetishization of masculinity.

All of this might explain why CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, an out gay man, reacted the way he did yesterday after hearing the "Macho Man" playing.
