Trump tweets out video from Walter Reed
hospital — ‘I feel much better’
By DAVE GOLDINER
President Trump said he’s feeling good Saturday and vowed
to beat COVID-19 quickly in a video that he posted on Twitter.
“I feel much better now,” Trump said. “We’re working hard
to get me all the way back.”
Trump spoke evenly and showed no signs of difficulty
breathing in the four-minute video.
Despite portraying himself as improving, the president
conceded that he does not know what the future holds.
“You don’t know what will happen over the next few days,”
he said. “They say that’s the real test, so we’ll see what happens.”
Trump said he hoped his battle with COVID-19 would rally
the world to turn back the pandemic, which has killed more than 200,000
Americans.
“We’re going to beat this coronavirus or whatever you
want to call it,” Trump said. “We’re going to beat it soundly.”
Wearing a blazer and open-necked shirt, Trump said he
wanted to go to Walter Reed Medical Center so he could avoid being cooped up in
the White House residence. He called it a sign of his leadership that he agreed
with being airlifted to the hospital in nearby Bethesda, Md.
“As a leader you have to confront problems,” said Trump,
who has faced harsh criticism for his mishandling of the pandemic.
He vowed to return to the presidential campaign and said
he had unfinished business.
On Saturday night, Trump completed a second dose of
Remdesivir, an anti-viral drug that researchers say speeds patients' recovery
from COVID-19, his doctor said.
“President Trump continues to do well, having made
substantial progress since diagnosis,” said the statement from White House
physician Dr. Sean Conley.
“He remains fever-free and off supplemental oxygen with a
saturation level between 96 and 98% all day.”
Trump was up and about in his suite “without difficulty,”
Conley said. "While not yet out of the woods, the team remains cautiously
optimistic.”
Conley also gave an upbeat assessment of Trump’s
condition in a press conference earlier Saturday. But he did not say when Trump
last tested negative, or how high a fever he experienced.
White House chief of staff Mark Meadows warned that Trump
faces a crucial two days and is “not yet on a clear path to recovery.”
