Lehigh Valley International Airport
Allentown, Pennsylvania

10:53 A.M. EDT

THE PRESIDENT: So we have a big event. We have three of them today, but this will be a — a group of people that we know very well from this area. It’s amazing — amazing attendance and amazing poll numbers. We have poll numbers that I’ll be talking about up there that have been very extraordinary.

Q Can you win the election without Pennsylvania?

THE PRESIDENT: I don’t know. I think we’re leading in Pennsylvania. I think we’ll win Pennsylvania, so I don’t think I have to worry about that. I think we’re going to win Pennsylvania by more than we did last time.

Q Mr. President, (inaudible).

THE PRESIDENT: I don’t understand you.

Q Are you downplaying the coronavirus again?

THE PRESIDENT: I’m not.

Go ahead.

Q Mr. President, Joe Biden says you’ve waved the white flag on fighting coronavirus and controlling the virus.

THE PRESIDENT: No, no, he has. He’s waved a white flag on life. He doesn’t leave his basement. This guy doesn’t leave his basement. He is a — he’s a pathetic candidate, I will tell you that.

Q Have you given up on controlling the virus?

THE PRESIDENT: No, not at all. In fact, the opposite. Absolutely the opposite. We’ve done an incredible job. Take a look at what’s happening in Europe. What’s happening to Europe is — nobody has seen anything like it. And you used to tell me all about Europe.

No, we’re doing a great job. We are absolutely rounding the corner. Other than the fake news wants to scare everybody, we are absolutely rounding the corner.

Go ahead.

Q Are you planning an event for Amy Coney Barrett this evening?

THE PRESIDENT: Yeah. We’re going to see probably at the White House later on this evening, see how it all works out. The vote is taking place, and we’ll see how that works out.

Q Will it be a large event? And are you concerned about —

THE PRESIDENT: No, not a large event. Just a very nice event.

Q Is a ceasefire holding between Armenia and Azerbaijan?

THE PRESIDENT: Say it?

Q The ceasefire between Azerbaijan and Armenia, is that holding or what’s that holding?

THE PRESIDENT: It’s holding. The ceasefire is holding. Okay? We’ll see you over at the event.

Q Mr. President, were you offered a vaccine at all or any on your staff offered the vaccine?

THE PRESIDENT: Was I offered?

Q Yes.

THE PRESIDENT: No. But we’ll have the vaccines very soon. The vaccines are in full development, and we’re going to have them very soon.

Q Will anyone on your staff take it?

THE PRESIDENT: You don’t have them yet. They haven’t been approved yet.

Q Special — special dispensation.

THE PRESIDENT: They’re going to be — they’re going to be approved very soon. Thank you. The vaccines.

END

Lyrics

Well we’re living here in allentown
And they’re closing all the factories down
Out in bethlehem they’re killing time
Filling out forms
Standing in line
Well our fathers fought the second world war
Spent their weekends on the jersey shore
Met our mothers in the uso
Asked them to dance
Danced with them slow
And we’re living here in allentown
But the restlessness was handed down
And it’s getting very hard to stay
Well we’re waiting here in allentown
For the pennsylvania we never found
For the promises our teachers gave
If we worked hard
If we behaved
So the graduations hang on the wall
But they never really helped us at all
No they never taught us what was real
Iron and coke
And chromium steel
And we’re waiting here in allentown
But they’ve taken all the coal from the ground
And the union people crawled away
Every child had a pretty good shot
To get at least as far as their old man got
But something happened on the way to that place
They threw an american flag in our face
Well I’m living here in allentown
And it’s hard to keep a good man down
But I won’t be getting up today
And it’s getting very hard to stay
And we’re living here in allentown

An ex-friend of ten years for me lives in Allentown. I visited her there and was surprised that place is so famous and yet so small!! Very few jobs in Allentown, btw.
