WASHINGTON —

White House officials and doctors stoked new questions Saturday about how sick President Trump has been with COVID-19 and when he became ill, as the president’s medical team suggested Trump had been sick for a day and a half before he announced his infection early Friday morning.

The new timeline, if accurate, would mean Trump held a rally and fundraiser in Minnesota on Wednesday and an intimate fundraiser in New Jersey on Thursday while knowing he was sick, potentially exposing supporters, employees and others to the coronavirus.

The White House quickly attempted to walk back some of the doctors’ comments, claiming Trump was diagnosed Thursday evening, not earlier as the medical team had indicated at a Saturday briefing at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he is being treated.

However, others in Trump’s circle confirmed Trump had been considerably sicker than previously announced, enough so that he required supplemental oxygen on Friday morning after laboring to breathe.


The contradictions and the administration’s long record of providing false or opaque information fueled mounting confusion about Trump’s illness and whether he is in real danger.

“He’s the president, and the country has a right to know. I’d like to see more information,” said Dr. Ashish Jha, dean of the Brown University School of Public Health.

At the Walter Reed briefing, Dr. Sean Conley, the president’s physician, and other doctors pronounced themselves “cautiously optimistic” about Trump’s health. They said his breathing was normal and his fever was resolving.

3. Did Trump & Company take covid tests as they were supposed to have done before debate?

I am starting to doubt that, considering Hicks was diagnosed the very next day, and Trump the day after (officially). Seems like tests if done one Tuesday should have started picking up the virus.

4. I have a friend that is 75 years old that got and survived the virus.

He is a senior athlete. He never went into the hospital and road it out on his own. It took several months and he is now much thinner and weaker and it shows.
I think this is what will happen with Tя☭mp. We need to call out this weakness loudly. He will have to cancel rallies, travel and interviews. We need to point that out every chance we can...He does not want to be seen as weak.
