Trump removes and tosses his tie at MAGA supporters in Iowa, Internet wonders if the 'clown' thinks he's Elvis

A user wrote, 'Trump’s Iowa rally – masks are coming off and the cheers dissipate with each lime screamed. Also, he took off his tie. I think it was making it harder for him to breathe'

President Donald Trump is up and about. It’s only been a few days since he was discharged from the Walter Reed medical center after being treated for the novel coronavirus. Ahead of the November elections, he has been rigorously campaigning and seems to be full of energy. He was recently at Iowa, holding a rally in Des Moines, where he addressed a humongous crowd of MAGA supporters. During his speech, he wears a MAGA hat and tells the crowd, “If you can wear it, I can wear it.”  After putting the hat on, Trump goes on to say, “Should I take off the tie or not?  What do you think? I don’t know. Maybe yes?”

What comes later leaves the crowd screaming as the president removes his red tie, after a couple of tries, and tosses it at the supporters. On returning to the podium, he says, “Oh, that feels so much better. Now we can all just relax and have a good day. While it was quite an act to watch the president fling his tie in style, perhaps it slipped his mind that he was recently tested positive for the deadly Virus. Furthermore, Trump wasn’t even wearing a mask during the rally, exposing himself to his supporters.

Also, the same has garnered a wide range of reactions as some as slammed putting others’ lives at risk by throwing a tie that he wore, and a few are speculating that the tie was rather obstructing his breathing, hence he has to get rid of it. Whatever, the reason may have been, POTUS’ little stunt has once again amused the Internet users, who wouldn’t lose out on an opportunity to troll him. 

One tweeted, "Ok, I choose Biden. Daniel Dale fills me in on all the Trump details, and they never change...well, except for the removing the tie thing tonight, that’s all." another wrote, "Trump threw out his tie to the #SuperSpreaderCrowd. Does he think he's Elvis?" One joked, "Man. Trump really is a clown, and his supporters are all just proud parents saying way to go buddy! Lol dancing and taking his tie off. lol circus act coming near you." One commented, "This is NOT a joke Trump. I find it rather disgusting that he is intentionally holding rallies to spread the virus."

And some were of the opinion that Trump wasn't able to breathe after Covid-19 with his tie on, which led to him removing it. One tweeted, "He felt like he was choking on it. Restricted airway—classic sign Covid is progressing." Another added, "Haha I can see the “ breaking news” already trump couldn’t breathe due to long-lasting effects of covid, and had to remove tie at rally." One wrote, "Trump’s Iowa rally- masks are coming off and the cheers dissipate with each lime screamed. Also he took off his tie. I think it was making it harder for him to breathe."
