The president of the United States, Donald Trump, thanks in one video released Saturday night for all the good wishes that have come to you. Her voice sounds a bit shaky, her hair isn’t as straight as usual, she’s not wearing a tie, and overall she looks like someone who has quickly wriggled out of her hospital bed behind a desk for this video. The message is clear: Trump wants to calm down. He wants to show that he is doing well so far. And that his wife Melania is fine, that like him he has caught the corona virus.
That message seemed important to him and to the White House on a day when communications between the medical team and the White House showed, to say the least, room for improvement.
In any case, the White House irritated Saturday with mixed messages about the acute and past health of the president, who now has to spend his second night in the hospital.
Around noon, Trump’s personal physician, Sean Conley, had joined nine other doctors at the wake in front of Walter Reed Military Hospital to share news about Trump’s illness with the world. What he had to say sounded like the president was struggling with little more than a few flu symptoms. “We are very happy with the progress the president is making,” he said. Trump is doing “very well.”
But then Conley said that Trump’s corona diagnosis was “72 hours ago.” Which caused quite a stir. Consequently, Trump would have tested positive for the first time on Wednesday. And not until Thursday night. And then Trump reportedly went to a donation dinner on his golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey, fully aware of being infected.
Later, Conley corrected himself in a warning. I wanted to say “day three”. Including Thursday as the day of diagnosis.
Trump: “I think I’ll be back soon”
But that was still harmless compared to the vortex caused a little later by the appearance of Trump’s chief of staff, Mark Meadows. Leaving the hospital, he told reporters present that Trump’s vital signs were “worrisome.” He warned that the “next 48 hours will be critical” for the course of the disease. “We are not yet on a clear path to a full recovery.”
Meadows had promised reporters an update when it arrived, but asked not to be mentioned by name. Therefore, his statements in the US media were initially only attributed to a person who knew the health of the president. However, Meadows Request was videotaped and the video was posted on the internet. The source of the comparatively sober summary of Trump’s condition was clear.
Trump is said to have been beside himself, the US media write. Shortly after Meadow’s remarks were read everywhere, Trump tweeted: “I’m fine!” In the evening, the President of the United States posted his four-minute reassuring video. He admitted that “it hadn’t felt so good.” But now it is “much better”. “I think I’ll be back soon and I hope to finish the campaign as we started it,” he said. However, he also stated that “the real test” is still ahead. Which is roughly what his chief of staff said. In other words, Trump has not yet passed the critical point.
