The president was interviewed on the Fox News program Tucker Carlson on Saturday night, where the television station’s medical expert, Marc Siegel, conducted what he described as “an on-air medical check-up.”
But there were few responses to what the numerous tests at the hospital had shown.
– Right now I’m drug free. I’m not taking any medication right now, I haven’t done it in eight hours, Trump said.
The interview, which was conducted on a video link, was filmed by staff at the White House, where Trump sat. The interviewer was sitting in a television studio.
Fluid in the lungs
When Trump was admitted to Walter Reed Hospital on Friday a week ago, he was treated with several experimental drugs, including Remdesivir and steroids.
He did not provide any further information on what medication he had received differently, or what tests he had passed, other than that lung tests must have shown that he had fluid in his lungs.
The president emphasized in the interview that he is now practically free of infection.
– I re-test for warts, and I haven’t talked or anything, but I re-test for warts, and I’m either on the lower scale or completely rid of it, says Trump.
He further explained that the virus had taken away his energy and that he did not feel very well when the disease was at its worst.
– I felt weak, tired and with a sore throat, and did not have the energy that a president should have, he said.
– It is a very contagious virus. It is one thing you learn. This is a contagious disease, he said.
I wouldn’t answer Dr. Siegel’s questions if I was scared when sick. Nor did he respond in detail about what tests he had performed or what they had shown. But he emphasized that the doctors had done “a lot of tests.”
He also spent time photographing the excellent facilities of the military hospital and said they had a lot of state-of-the-art equipment there that he had never seen before.
