Next 48 hours critical for Trump, White House official says. Doctor says he's doing well

WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump’s physician assured Americans on Saturday that the president was “doing very well” with treatment for COVID-19, had been fever-free for 24 hours and was not on supplemental oxygen.

But Dr. Sean Conley declined to answer several questions about Trump’s health and later said he misspoke about the timeline of events, creating confusion for a country eager for information the morning after the president was flown to Walter Reed Medical Center in Maryland.

To further complicate the administration’s messaging, comments by the White House chief of staff shortly after the news conference described a more serious situation.

Trump is “still not on a clear path to a full recovery,” Mark Meadows told reporters. The comment was initially attributed to a source who spoke anonymously, but several media outlets later reported that the speaker was Meadows.

Until we see him with the whites of our own eyes, either walking or lying in a coffin, don't trust anything that comes out of the White House.

So, let's recap. Ron Johnson, Chris Christie, Kelly Conway, Tom Tillis, Mike Lee, the campaign manager, 3 WH reporters, dum dum and Mrs. dum dum. I'm reminded of the M*A*S*H episode where Klinger gets a canned turkey and serves it to the camp. They all get Ptomaine poisoning, yet Klinger says "It can't be the turkey. I ate it and I'm fine!" When he finally gets sick, one of the other patients says, weakly, "Hey everybody, Klinger's got it." All the other patients, weakly, "ya-a-a-ay".

Any "short recovery" pretty much means nothing.

He could crash suddenly and completely days afterwards, but they are not going to talk about that.

A few days later dotard appears miraculously cured..the Lazarus scene

The grand finale: see, it’s just like a cold. I got better so all of you... get your kids back to school, open everything up, no masks.

They are making an opportunity out of this to push herd immunity

The trailer: The media bought meadows story. Now I understand he’s walking it back ..play both sides
