“President Trump took a short ride in a convoy of motor vehicles to wave to his supporters outside (in front of the hospital) and has now returned to the presidential suite inside Walter Reed Hospital,” the White House said in a statement. The record shows Trump with a veil and at least two other people who were in the car with him.

However, Trump’s action met with harsh criticism. The doctors were horrified by his irresponsibility. They point out that everyone who was in Trump’s car could become infected because “the risk of transmission in the car is high.” “It simply came to our notice then. In addition, everyone in the car must go to quarantine for 14 days after this completely unnecessary ride of the president, “said James Philipps, a doctor at George Washington University. “Because of political theater, they can become infected and even die,” he added.

The White House rejects the allegations, arguing that “reasonable precautions have been taken to protect the President and his staff.”

A team of presidential doctors said on Sunday that Trump had no fever since Friday, he was better, and if the treatment continued well, he could be released from the hospital on Monday. “I learned a lot about covid. I learned it by experiencing it myself. It’s a school of life, “Trump said in a short video, saying that it was not something he would read about in books and that it was” something very interesting “.

However, some American media point out that it has not yet been convincingly and clearly stated when Trump was diagnosed with a coronavirus infection. Confusion was also caused by his personal doctor, who said on Saturday that the coronavirus was diagnosed by the president “72 hours ago”. That would mean that Trump knew about the positivity even before he met supporters and financial donors in Minnesota and New Jersey on Wednesday night and Thursday, where he raised money from them for his election campaign.

The Financial Times reported that Trump found out about his positivity after Thursday’s speed test, but delayed it. Shortly afterwards, he appeared on Fox News television. There he stated that his close colleague Hope Hicks had tested positive for coronavirus. Only after the second positive test did Trump announce that he had become infected.
