Donald Trump’s Condition Had Been Worse Than Was Conveyed, Admits White House

Washington: US President Donald Trump’s condition on Friday was far worse than what was conveyed by officials.

According to White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, doctors recommended that the President should be hospitalized after contracting novel coronavirus as he had fever and his blood oxygen level dropped rapidly.

“I can tell you this… the biggest thing we see is with no fever now, he’s doing really well with his oxygen saturation levels,” Meadows told Fox News. “Yesterday morning we were really concerned by that. He had a fever, and his oxygen level had dropped rapidly. Yet in typical style, this president was up and walking around.”

White House officials had said on Friday that Trump was experiencing “mild symptoms” and continuing to work.

There were conflicting reports on the 74-year-old Trump’s condition ever since his tweet that he and First Lady Melania Trump had tested positive for the virus.
