Donald Trump’s dramatic covid-19 timeline got even substantial when the US President departed from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Monday.
While returning, Trump told his followers that the virus dangerously deprived him of oxygen and hospitalized for 72 hours. However, the US President also insisted that there’s nothing to fear.
When he departed from the Military hospital where he was being treated for the covid-19 infection, Donald Trump was seen wearing a surgical mask. He gave a thumbs-up and waved at the supporters waiting outside the hospital. Thereafter, he was airlifted to White House.
Then he walked up the staircase of the White House South Portico and peeled off his mask while he posed for the pictures.
Trump posted a propaganda video after his dramatically staged White House entrance.
“We’re going back. We’re going back to work. We’re gonna be out front. As your leader I had to do that. I knew there’s danger to it but I had to do it,” he says in the video. “I stood out front. I led. Nobody that’s a leader would not do what I did. I know there’s a risk there’s a danger. That’s OK. And now I’m better, and maybe I’m immune? I don’t know. But don’t let it dominate your lives. Get out there, be careful.”
Previously, Trump’s doctors have said that he was given supplemental oxygen at the White House before he was admitted to the hospital.
Even as Trump’s aides advised him to stay at the hospital for some more time, the president insisted on returning. He made the announcement of his return on Monday afternoon on Twitter and wrote, “I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 PM. Feeling really good!”
Donald Trump’s return while disease still rampant in his body has raised many questions about how management was was going to protect other officials from the infection.
