Soon after, his official physician said that Trump reported he had no symptoms a day after returning to the White House from a Covid-19 hospitalization.
“It does not report symptoms,” Presidential Physician Sean Conley said in a statement. Vital signs are stable and “overall, he’s still doing extremely well.”
Trump left the hospital on Monday after four days of emergency treatment for Covid-19, removing his mask the moment he arrived at the White House and vowing to quickly return to the campaign. Earlier, Trump tweeted that Americans, who have lost nearly 210,000 people to the virus, have nothing to fear.
A series of moments made for television allowed Trump to make the most of his medical discharge, starting with leaving alone through the large, golden entrance doors of the Walter Reed Military Hospital on the outskirts of Washington.
Live on television, he then walked in a mask to a limousine, giving the go-ahead, before boarding the Marine One helicopter for the express flight to the White House, which he left Friday after falling ill.
After landing, he climbed the steps to the majestic South Portico balcony, removed his mask, and offered a 23-second salute to the departing Marine One.
With less than a month to go until Election Day is Nov. 3, polls show Trump is behind Democrat Joe Biden. The president’s hospitalization left him struggling even harder to catch up.
The return to the White House was painstakingly accomplished to show he’s in good physical shape, while a series of eye-catching tweets demonstrated Trump’s looming political angle of attack – that he personally beat Covid and will now lead the country to his home. own return.
The second debate, which will be in town hall format with the audience asking questions of the candidates, has been called into question after Trump’s hospitalization last Friday for the coronavirus.
