Trump leaves the hospital and greets his supporters. “I learned a lot about Covid”

BETHESDA (Maryland) – Aboard the “beast”, the presidential armored suv, Donald trump He waves from behind the window to the at least one hundred supporters who preside over the Walter Reed Military Medical Center where he has been hospitalized since Friday. The black mask on his face, the jacket over the shirt without a tie, the president is accompanied by a doctor complete with a screen, the driver and a single escort, both with N95 on his face. The blitz lasts the time of that short hint – but it’s enough to send fans into ecstasy. They yell “four more years”, another four years, even louder. And the horns sound even more vigorous than before.

Of course, the decision the president made to leave his hospital room, the super-equipped suite where he had his picture taken at work, is really a break from all habits. Trump is actually leaving with only two spare cars – and without warning to the group of journalists whose job it is to cover every move. An almost certainly last minute decision, announced just moments before via Twitter, direct to the fans waiting out there, with a video message thanking them saying: “You are true patriots.” Stating: “It was an interesting trip, I learned a lot about Covid, this is the real school.” And insisting that he already feels better, with all due respect that doctors are administering Dexamethasone, the anti-inflammatory steroid recommended by the World Health Organization only in really critical cases and on Friday and Saturday, he revealed his yesterday. Dr Sean Conley, pressured by reporters, needed oxygen.

“I want to thank you personally, I will surprise you soon,” he said in the video. However, no one expected to see him literally moments later. On the other hand, the appearance is a very clear message to his base, to the Democrats and to the world, a way of saying that I am better and I am still in the race. Just as the latest Nbc / Wsj poll returns it by up to 14 points, dropping to 39 percent in ratings, while Joe Biden even leads with 53.

“If he continues to improve like this, the president will return to the White House on Monday to continue treatment from there,” pulmonologist Brian Garibaldi said Sunday morning during a news conference on the hospital steps yesterday. And we’ll see in the next few hours if the president is really ready to go back to work.
