He continues to get different drug treatments in his 3rd day in the hospital…
While Trump and the doctor’s ‘think’ Trump could be sent back to the White House as early as tomorrow?
That is to be determined later…
President Trump’s medical team acknowledged delivering an overly rosy description of the president’s illness on Saturday.
“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 were trying to hide something, which wasn’t necessarily true,” Dr. Sean P. Conley, the White House physician, said in a briefing with reporters.
The doctors said that Mr. Trump had a “high fever” on Friday and a second incident yesterday where his oxygen levels dropped. They were not clear if he was administered oxygen again.
Dr. Conley also said that the president had also been given the steroid dexamethasone on Saturday.
The drug has been shown to help patients who are severely ill with Covid-19, but it is typically not used in mild or moderate cases of the disease, and in fact could be harmful early in the course of the disease, when steroids could dampen the body’s own immune response….
…
Nonetheless, the doctors said, Mr. Trump is doing better and they projected he could be discharged back to the White House from the hospital as early as Monday. The briefing came a day after a messy and conflicting presentation from the doctors about whether Mr. Trump had serious medical issues on Friday…
…
“The president’s vitals over the last 24 hours were very concerning,” Mr. Meadows said. “And the next 48 hours will be critical in terms of his care.”
Many doctors stressed the critical period of time — about seven to 10 days after infection — when a patient’s condition can take a turn for the worse. Some people respond to an infection with an overly exuberant immune response that can worsen their illness and even prove fatal….

Does THIS mean that the Monday comment is FOR Trump?
NOT reality on his status?

White House comms director Alyssa Farah says Dr. Conley was trying to “project confidence” and lift the president’s spirits when he omitted yesterday that the president had breathing problems and had been given oxygen.
Public needs transparency not projecting confidence.

The NIH’s treatment guidelines for Covid-19 say dexamethasone should be used only in hospitalized patients who are on ventilators or who require supplemental oxygen & recommends against using it in patients who don’t require oxygen
Donald Trump IS sicker than has been advertised ….
Hey Trumps taking a joy ride around the hospital to wave at his supporters.
Of course the poor Secret Service men inside the car?
Well ?
Those damn doctors are holding this boy back!
FREE DONALD TRUMP!
The care and feeding of the Trump Ego is more important than the health and safety of others.
True THAT……
Unfuckingbelivable‼️
Trump has the Secret Service do a ‘drive by’of the crowd at Walter Redd….
Hmmmmm?
The Secret Service guys in his suburban should be quarantined…

President Trump, wearing a mask, rides by his supporters outside Walter Reed while in the back of a Suburban.
At least it looks like the agents in his vehicle ARE wearing masks…
Watch out “Suburban” Housewives, there’s a drugged up man with Covid roaming the streets!
Hmmmm?
SOMETHING ain’t right…
Trump talking about leaving on Monday…Somebody talking about possible debates?…
Sounds like a LOT crazy bull shit is coming our way….
The assertion by President Trump’s doctors that he could be discharged from the hospital as early as Monday astonished outside infectious-disease experts, who said he remains in a dangerous period of vulnerability when some covid-19 patients decline precipitously and require urgent intervention.
During a midday briefing Sunday on the president’s medical condition and treatment, White House physician Sean Conley and his team twice referred to planning to release Trump as early as the next day “if he continues to look and feel as well as he does today.”
The talk of the president’s release from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center came as Conley and two other physicians treating Trump gave an upbeat but incomplete characterization of his condition. Outside doctors said they were mystified by what they said was an inconsistent portrayal of the president’s illness as relatively mild despite the aggressive mix of treatments he is getting…

I’m just glad the White House didn’t pull a “Dave” and hire an imposter that people end up liking more than the real thing and one the First Lady actually is attracted to.
Trump IS leaning on the Doctor’s to send him home….
He will meet with his doctors and nurses this morning to make further assessments of his progress,” Meadows added. “We are still optimistic that he will be able to return to the White House later today.”
In a subsequent interview on “Fox & Friends,” Meadows cautioned that the “determination has not been made yet” to release Trump from the hospital, and said a final call “won’t be made until later today.”
“The doctors will actually have an evaluation some time late morning. And then the president, in consultation with the doctors, will make a decision on whether to discharge him later today,” Meadows said.

I would NOT want to be the doctor to send his ass home and he gets worse and has to come back…
THAT would be HIS call to wear for the rest of life….
I would guess high level negotiations are going on if
thea doctor can be found to sign off on Trump leaving the care of the hospital to go home….Just give him quinine.
