President Trump's tweet that he is immune to COVID-19 and can no longer infect or infect someone with the virus was flagged by Twitter on Sunday as «dangerous» and «misleading.»
Trump tweeted Sunday morning that White House doctors had «discharged him.»
“This means that I cannot get infected (I have immunity) or infect someone. Nice to know !!! ”, — he said.
A total and complete sign off from White House Doctors yesterday. That means I can't get it (immune), and can't give it. Very nice to know !!!

On Saturday, Trump's physician, Dr. Sean Conley, authorized the president to resume an active work schedule, saying he «no longer risks infecting others.»
In a statement, Conley said it had been 10 days since Trump had symptoms of COVID-19 and that there had been no fever for «more than 24 hours.» This meant that the deadline set by the CDC for mandatory self-isolation had expired.
However, a few hours after the post was published, Twitter posted a warning in it, writing that the post «violates Twitter's rules on misleading and potentially harmful information related to the coronavirus.»
Trump also told Fox Business on Sunday morning that he is immune to COVID-19.
“It looks like I'm invulnerable. I don’t know how much: maybe for a long time, maybe for a short time. — said the current president — Maybe even for life, no one knows. But I am invulnerable. «
Eager to prove that he was fully recovered, Trump briefly appeared on Saturday afternoon in front of hundreds of chanting supporters gathered at the White House.
Officials from the presidential administration said the event was not an election event, although most participants wore red MAGA caps, and the president's speech was filled with attacks on his Democratic rival, former Vice President Biden.
According to New York Times sources, the president also wanted to surprise supporters with his first public appearance after hospitalization with a very unexpected gesture. He allegedly planned to effectively rip up his shirt, under which would be a T-shirt with Superman. In this way, Trump wanted to demonstrate the superpower with which he fought the virus.
