"Don't Be Afraid Of COVID" - Trump Tweets That He'll Be Discharged Tonight, Feels Better" Tyler Durden Mon, 10/05/2020 - 14:44 Less than 30 minutes before his medical team is supposed to update the public on the president's condition, President Trump has just tweeted that he will be leaving Walter Reed at 1830ET. I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 P.M. Feeling really good! Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1313186529058136070?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+"://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs"); Just minutes earlier, Trump rebutted accusations from the mainstream press that he put secret service members lives 'at risk' by greeting his supporters in a presidential motorcade early Sunday evening. It is reported that the Media is upset because I got into a secure vehicle to say thank you to the many fans and supporters who were standing outside of the hospital for many hours, and even days, to pay their respect to their President. If I didn’t do it, Media would say RUDE!!! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1313183801732890624?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+"://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs"); But if Trump leaves Walter Reed tonight and doesn't return, his urging for Americans "not to fear COVID-19" will be remembered, as he personally has demonstrated that the virus is not a "death sentence", even for older Americans. On CNBC, Tyler Mathisen suggested that one of the side effects of dexamethasone is a feeling of euphoria, meaning that Trump might be feeling better than his condition actually reflects. So, we now wait for Trump's doctors to speak, to see whether they will parrot the narrative. Trump tweeted as the NYT was publishing a report claiming that at least two White House housekeepers have tested positive.
