President Trump waves to crowd from SUV in his first public appearance since being admitted to the hospital with COVID-19
WASHINGTON – Claiming progress in his personal fight against COVID-19, President Donald Trump ventured outside for a little bit on Sunday to greet supporters who gathered at the hospital before then returning to the facility.
Trump, wearing a suit and a mask, waved to supporters from the back seat of an SUV as it passed by the demonstration at the Walter Reed medical center. "It's been a very interesting journey, I learned a lot about COVID," Trump said in a video recorded at."I learned it by really going to school. This is the real school. This isn't the let's-read-the-book school, and I get it, and I understand it."
Trump's video came hours after Navy Commander and White House physician Sean Conley said the president could be discharged as early as Monday. Conley said Trump received supplemental oxygen on Friday after the president had a"high fever" and his oxygen levels dipped below 94%. He said Trump experienced another drop in oxygen on Saturday, but did not discuss treatment.
A day later, Trump taped a four-minute address to say he was "starting to feel good," looked forward to returning to the White House"soon," and made references to the ongoing presidential campaign.
