Dry cough is one of the most common symptoms of COVID-19.
The moment has many on social media questioning whether the president is as fine as his medical team says he is.
The interview section was shared on Twitter by Vox journalist Aaron Rupar.
“Wow. Trump’s voice is extremely hoarse and at one point he relented,” Rupar said.
That tweet quickly received hundreds of likes and retweets.
“It really doesn’t sound good,” said one person.
“Short of breath, right on time,” said another.
“That cough was very strong. He is still ill,” added a third.
Many suggested that when Trump fell silent, it could have been because his microphone was turned off to allow him to cough.
“He just silenced the phone and coughed,” said one user.
“I think he fell silent from a coughing fit,” said another.
“He clearly muted his mic there so he could cough and recover,” wrote another user.
There have been questions in recent days about Trump’s health and whether the White House is being transparent, especially considering that the president could return to public engagements this weekend.
On Wednesday, his doctor, Dr. Sean Conley, said he was reporting no symptoms and was still doing “extremely well.” A day later, Dr. Conley said that the president was still “symptom free”.
Trump has said repeatedly since leaving the hospital Tuesday that he feels great. However, he and his team continue to refuse to say when his last negative test was.
