Donald Trump tweeted that he will he leaving the hospital on Monday evening. In the same tweet he also said, “Don’t be afraid of COVID. Don’t let it dominate your life.”
It was an unbelievable comment that was nothing short of shockingly irresponsible. Tell that to the millions of Americans who have suffered from the disease, or the families who have lost loved ones.
Earlier in the day, Dana Bash also wrote:
A source familiar with POTUS phone calls from the hospital today tells me he said “I need to get out of here.” He’s being warned that if he rushes to leave the hospital and has a setback it would be bad for not just his health, but his re-election campaign.
Dr. Sean Conley, the president’s physician held a news conference Monday afternoon saying that Trump “may not be out of the woods yet,” but that he can receive the same medical treatment he is receiving at the hospital while at the White House.
Conley refused to answer questions about Trump’s lung scans, including whether he has pneumonia.
Just around sundown, Trump returned to the White House aboard Marine One.
When Trump exited the chopper he walked up two flights of stairs, then promptly removed his mask. Clearly, for him, this was another opportunity for a photo opp.
