Trump's Indian worshipper dies 'depressed' over president's Covid-19 illness

CHENNAI - An Indian man who worshipped Donald Trump and was upset by the news of the US president contracting Covid-19 died of a cardiac arrest on Sunday, an official from his village and police said.  Bussa Krishna, who had said his devotion for Trump began more than four years ago when the leader appeared to him in a dream, had days ago posted a tearful video on his Facebook page wishing for his idol’s recovery from the viral disease that has killed more than 1 million people worldwide. Trump revealed on Oct 2 that he had tested positive for Covid-19 and spent three nights in the hospital for treatment. He said on Sunday he had fully recovered and was due to resume campaigning on Monday ahead of the Nov 3 US election. Venkat Goud, the head of Krishna’s native Konney village and a close friend, said he was “depressed” that Trump and his wife Melania had got the disease.
