Trump Tells Americans Not to Be Afraid of Covid-19 Upon White House Return

US President Donald Trump arrived back at the White House on a helicopter after leaving the military hospital where he has been receiving an unprecedented level of care for COVID-19.

Trump has ignited a new controversy by declaring that despite his illness the nation should not be afraid of the virus that has killed more than 210,000 Americans.

His doctor, Navy Cdr. Sean Conley, earlier said the president would not be fully "out of the woods" for another week but Trump had met or exceeded standards for discharge from the hospital.

Trump is expected to continue his recovery at the White House, where the reach of the outbreak that has infected the highest levels of the U.S. government is still being uncovered.

It’s so great that he can get the best medicines and healthcare.

“Don’t be afraid of it” and how many people died from it? And Mr. President, how many doctors worked on you? Could those doctors have been working on people dying from the virus? I truly wish you would be honest for once.

[maryrivera]

How is he allowed to walk around, be flown, a drive by mean while putting people in danger? Any other person can't even see there loved ones when they are sick with the T-19 virus, and have to self quarantine for 2 weeks. Alone!!! That man needs to be voted out. Wake up!!!

[MoreStuffKSaid]

People should sue him for the medical bills they incur by following the assertions he makes in this video.

[momobea]

Does he realize he had access to medications and treatments not available to the general public?

[micahwolf]

[ashleewang]

Not everyone could get that kind of medical care when they gets sick.

[milagreatest]

TRUMP AND PENCE 2020! TO GOD BE THE GLORY🙏

[shdownonme]

your problem Bloomberg if you don't actually listen to the man if you listen to President Trump he said he had to do this think about what that actually means

[lee]

🤣🤣🤣 his new theme song for him and his party is now everybody was KUNG FLU FIGHTING 🤣🤣🤣

[deltadawn]

I have a helicopter and a personal team of doctors. Good luck to you on your bus ride to the emergency room. No fear, Trump is here!

[wo]

I am leaning more towards him being a liar. Not surprised and a new low.

[goldendelicious]

So this was all his reality show... not surprise at all.

[melissasaint]

He feels great because he is on a run of a very strong steroid right now. Anyone who has had to have a virus, inflammation, treated with one knows what I mean.
He feels great right now (the one he's on is so strong it can even cause mania!) But the doses can only last so long, it's not safe to stay on long term.

He's not "better"... he's very likely got secondary pneumonia that he needs to rest and recover from, and he is likely still contagious, even with the experimental serum he got.


This reminds me of him telling the reporter his maskless rallies
