Donald Trump suffered from “mild symptoms” and continued to work, White House officials said
Washington:
White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows revealed President Donald Trump’s condition on Friday was much worse than officials made public, saying doctors recommended the president go to hospital after seeing he had a fever and his blood oxygen levels had dropped rapidly.
Meadows made the comments in an interview with Fox News that aired Saturday night that capped two days of conflicting and opaque assessments of the 74-year-old president’s health.
“I can tell you the biggest thing we’re seeing is fever-free now, and with him doing really well with his oxygen saturation levels,” Meadows told Fox host Jeanine Pirro. “Yesterday morning we were really concerned about this. He had a fever and his oxygen levels had dropped rapidly. Yet in typical style this president was standing and walking around.”
White House officials, including Meadows, said Friday that Trump was suffering from “mild symptoms” and was continuing to work. He told Fox News, however, that doctors for Walter Reed and Johns Hopkins had recommended that Trump go to hospital.
“He’s made incredible improvements since yesterday morning when I know a number of us, the doctor and I, were very worried,” Meadows said.
