WASHINGTON, United States – White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said Saturday that Donald Trump’s health, including a drop in his blood oxygen level, had left the president’s doctors “very concerned.” But that he had improved and there was never any risk that he would have. hand over power.
Meadows’ comments to Fox News capped a day of comings and goings in which conflicting reports on the president’s health created a murky understanding of the leader’s actual fitness.
“He has made incredible improvements since yesterday morning, when I know that several of us, the doctor and I, were very concerned,” Meadows said.
Earlier in the day, a source familiar with the president’s health, later named in the United States media as none other than Meadows, had given a contradictory assessment saying that “the president’s vital signs over the past 24 hours were very worrying. “
The statement also appeared to disagree with an assessment by White House doctors that the president was “very well.”
Meadows appeared to clarify Saturday night that the worryingly poor health-related comments had applied to the day before.
“Yesterday morning, we were very concerned … he had a fever and his blood oxygen level had dropped rapidly,” Meadows told Fox.
However, “there was never a consideration and not even the risk of a transition of power,” Meadows said.
On Saturday night, White House physician Sean Conley said Trump was “not out of the woods yet,” but that the medical team was “cautiously optimistic.”
Meadows echoed a similar sentiment, stating that it was “very, very optimistic, based on current results.”
The president posted a video on Twitter Saturday night looking relaxed in an open-necked shirt and blue suit jacket, telling viewers that he would “be back soon,” but acknowledging that the next crucial days would be “the real thing. proof”.
