Right up until it doesn't.

And then it hits especially hard.

He's got all the hallmark signs and comorbidities of someone who is going to crash.

...the drugs and therapies in his bloodstream are only temporary, and this illness tends to lead to a medical crash, which can be even worse than the first illness episode.

Unless tRump* follows every bit of medical advice RIGOROUSLY, and actively works to get better, he's toast. And that means no more cocaine, no more Adderall. He needs to lose about 100 pounds (currently 322) and start exercising.

But he's between criminal prosecution and death, the presidency his life vest.

I think the reason most patients who crash after an improvement with COVID do so because they are not being well monitored. The warning signs to an impending decline are not noticed, or treatment is received too late. There has never been a patient as well monitored, and who has had access to so many therapeutic options.
