“Am I going to die like Chera?”: Donald Trump’s question to the advisers before being hospitalized with Covid-19

“Am I going to die like Stan Chera? Aren’t I?” Was the question the US president asked the advisers before being referred to Walter Reed. Stan Chera was an old friend of Donald Trump who died in April from the coronavirus.

Sherman quotes Republicans close to the White House and says that according to his sources, Trump wanted to wait, but the doctors’ warning revealed his condition. “Doctors told Trump if he waited, he could lose the ability to walk to Marine One [o helicóptero oficial dos Estados Unidos]”writes the reporter on Twitter.

The state of health of the president of the United States is currently unknown, given the contradictory versions that have emerged in recent hours. Doctors say Trump is “very well,” but a familiar source says Trump’s condition is worrying: “The next 48 hours are going to be critical.”

Donald Trump confirmed that he was infected with coronavirus along with his wife, Melania, this Friday.

Conversations with Republicans close to WH over the past 12 hours indicate that it has been far more dire than WH said. Before being brought before Walter Reed, Trump kept asking his assistants: “Will I go out like Stan Chera? (Chera was a friend of Trump in New York who died of Covid in April)
