During President Donald Trump’s campaign rally in Arizona on Sunday, supporters chanted “Superman” when he shared that he was feeling like a “superhero” as he recovers from the novel coronavirus.

“People are pandemic’d-out. You know that? They’re pandemic’d-out. That’s why it’s so great what your governor has done. He’s opened up your state,” Trump said. 

“I’m here. And now I’m immune. I can jump into this audience and kiss every man and woman. I’m immune.”

He went on to talk about his COVID-19 illness and rehabilitation.

“I woke up and I felt good. I said ‘get me out of here.’ Boom. Superman,” Trump said which was followed by the crowd’s chanting: “Su-per-man, Su-per-man.”

In recent rallies, Trump boasted that he felt like Superman upon recovering from the disease. The superhero chant erupted for the first time during his Monday rally.

In addition, the crowd also chanted “USA” and “we love you” as the president replied: “don’t make me cry.”

Earlier this month, there were reports that Trump wanted to leave the hospital after his treatment and to rip his shirt that would reveal a Superman shirt underneath.

He described the move as a symbol of strength and talked about it on several occasions after fully deciding not to do it.

According to the White House medical team, Trump was given several treatments which include the dexamethasone steroid, remdesivir drug, and an antibody cocktail developed by Regeneron. He was also given supplemental oxygen twice.
