President Trump 'Doing Really Well' as Doctors Consider Return to White House

George Thomas : Oct 5, 2020  CBN News

"It's been a very interesting journey. I learned a lot about COVID. 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." -President Donald Trump in a video

On Sunday, Mr. Trump briefly left the hospital where he's been staying to greet supporters who had gathered outside the facility to wish him well.

Crowds lined the streets outside Walter Reed Medical Center as the president drove by in his car wearing a mask and waving.

"God bless our president," yelled one supporter as the president's motorcade passed. (Screengrab image: President Trump drives by the gathering of supporters outside Walter Reed Hospital /via CBN News)

Some have criticized the president's move, saying it may have endangered Secret Service members inside the vehicle. A White House spokesperson insists the trip was cleared by medical staff.

The president has been at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, MD since Friday, shortly after announcing that he had tested positive for the virus.

There have been some questions though over the seriousness of the president's illness.

The White House initially said Mr. Trump had only "mild symptoms", but it was later revealed that he was moved to the hospital after registering a fever and taking supplemental oxygen. His blood oxygen levels dipped again on Saturday.

Pressed about the conflicting information, the president's doctors acknowledged that they wanted to give the public a positive outlook on the president's condition.

"I was trying to reflect the upbeat attitude that the team, the president, of course, that his course of illness has had," said Dr. Sean Conley, the president's physician. "I didn't want to give any information that might steer the course of illness in another direction. And in doing so, you know, it came off, that we're trying to hide something, which wasn't necessarily true. The fact of the matter is that he's doing really well." (Screengrab image: via CBN News)

The president posted a video on Twitter saying he's been learning a great deal about the disease.

"It's been a very interesting journey," the president remarked in the video. "I learned a lot about COVID. 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."

Not clear when the president contracted the virus, but several people who attended last week's Rose Garden event where he announced Judge Amy Coney Barrett for the Supreme Court have now tested positive, as well as several members of his debate preparation team.

Meanwhile, the Senate has postponed all floor activity until October 19 after three GOP Senators tested positive for the virus.

Still, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says confirmation hearings for Judge Barrett will proceed as scheduled on Oct. 12th, with some members attending virtually.

And despite the president's health situation, the vice presidential debate will go on this week in Salt Lake City.

One change though, the Commission on Presidential Debates has agreed to keep Vice President Mike Pence and his Democratic vice presidential challenger Kamala Harris 12 feet apart, instead of 7 feet when they meet Wednesday. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
