President Trump’s campaign tweeted a football-themed video just minutes after he walked out of Walter Reed Medical Center and boarded Marine One to return to the White House after spending the weekend fighting Seaweed-19.

Trump, wearing a navy suit and tie and a face mask, walked out of Walter Reed shortly after 6:30 p.m. Monday. After exiting the hospital door, he made a low-fist pump and pressed a thumb as he got into a black SUV to go to Marine One.
Upon arriving at the White House, the president walked out onto the balcony overlooking the South American flag, saluting the departing military officers and Marine One.
Presidential physician Sean Conley held a press conference, detailing the president’s progress and status as he battled the Covid-1 battalion.
“The president may not be out of the woods yet,” Conley said, but said his “clinical condition returns to the president’s safe return home,” where he said he would be surrounded by medical personnel “24/7.”
Conley added that the president met “most of his discharge needs” on Sunday afternoon.
“We try to get patients out of the hospital as quickly as possible,” Conley said. “Nothing is done here that we can’t do safely at home.”
The president was admitted to Walter Reed on Friday evening after the White House, at the time, described what he described as “mild symptoms.”
The president also suffered from health ailments during his battle with COVID-19, in two of which his blood oxygen levels dropped sharply. Doctors treated the president with a dose of steroid dexamethasone – which is usually used only with patients who are seriously ill with Covid-19 – in response.
He added: “We are all cautiously optimistic and cautious because we are in a slightly unrealistic realm when the patient receives his treatment.”
But as of Saturday, Conley said the president’s cardiac, kidney and liver functions are normal, and he’s not on major oxygen and he has no trouble breathing or walking.
Conley said over the weekend that the president had received an antibody cocktail along with his five-day course of remedicivir, as well as zinc, vitamin D, femotidine, melatonin and a daily aspirin.
