President Donald Trump tweeted out two videos including one where he talks about older voters and declares himself a 'senior' as he contends with COVID-19 – but both were shot Wednesday, revealing little about his current condition. 'So, to my favorite people in the world: the seniors. I'm a senior, I know you don't know that. Nobody knows that. Maybe you don't have to tell them. But I'm a senior. We are making tremendous progress with this horrible disease that was sent over from China,' Trump begins.The video is a follow on to one released Wednesday that was in fact filmed Tuesday. In that video, Trump says he feels cured and repeatedly touts the experimental drug Regeneron – even saying he will provide it free to other Americans through hospitals. This time, he leaves out the name of the drug Trump took along with just 10 other people as scientists continue to study it. 'China will pay a big price for what they did to the world and to us. But we have medicines right now. I call them a cure. I went into the hospital a week ago. I was very sick. And I took this medicine,' Trump said.'And it was incredible. I could have walked out the following day – sooner. It was incredible the impact it had. And we're going to make that and others that are similar to it. ... we're going to make them available immediately,' Trump pledged.The video was shot on the South Lawn, and ran just under 2 1/2 minutes. It carries a headline: 'TO MY FAVORITE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD!'Trump's appearances on video came on a day that even by late afternoon the White House had not released an update from White House physician Cmdr. Sean Conley. 'This medicine in particular, one medicine was unbelievable. You're going to get the same medicine. You're going to get it free - no charge. And we're going to get it to you soon,' he said. He called it 'totally safe' and 'powerful against this disease.'Trump includes attacks on Joe Biden. 'He talks and he never did anything in 47 years,' Trump said.'If it were up to him, you wouldn't have this. You wouldn't have anywhere near it for years,' he said, in an apparent reference to the drug. 'I do know what I'm doing,' Trump said. 'And the seniors are going to be taken care of and then everyone is going to be taken care of.'Trump is positioned many yards away from the White House, which can be seen somewhat blurry in the background. He is wearing a blue suit, buttoned, and a red tie that can also be seen in a separate video – shot at a different position on the lawn.An earlier video, released about five hours before, shows Trump in the same outfit, but from a slightly different camera angle.
