Donald Trump held a rally on Monday night in Florida and said one of the most truly baffling things of his presidency.
The POTUS was talking about his recent bout with coronavirus and tried to claim that he now feels “so powerful”.
And to prove it, he offered to walk into the rally’s audience and give a “big fat kiss” to everyone there.
He said:
I went through it, now they say I’m immune. I feel so powerful. I'll walk into that audience – I'll walk in there – kiss everyone in that audience. I'll kiss the guys and the beautiful women. I’ll just give you a big fat kiss.
People were absolutely flabbergasted by his remarks:

Some people called out the POTUS for (again) claiming he was immune when it’s not been proven that having coronavirus automatically means you’re immune:
