(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump returned to the White House Monday evening after being treated for Covid-19 for three days at the hospital, and removed his mask to pose for photos on a balcony before walking into the residence.

Trump didn’t speak to reporters at the White House and only said “thank you very much” to those gathered at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center before boarding the presidential helicopter. Back at the White House, he walked up the South Portico stairs to the balcony, where he removed his mask, flashed thumbs-up with both hands and saluted for several seconds.

In a video released shortly afterward, Trump said of the virus: “Don’t let it dominate you.”

“I knew there’s danger to it. But I had to do it. I stood out front. I led. Nobody that’s a leader would not do what I did. I know there’s a risk. I know there’s a danger. But that’s O.K. And now I’m better. Maybe I’m immune, I don’t know,” he said.

6. "I led" straight into The Valley of Death

is what he is saying.

Problem is we all have no choice but to go along for the ride. COVID is only going to get worse as long as he is in charge.

Killer Clown.

7. He looked extremely orange tonight.

I wonder what lucky person had to get close enough to him to smear on the makeup?

8. Trump thinks his irresponsible behavior shows his

leadership skills because nobody else but him would take such unnecessary risks.

10. I guess that COVID really isn't a big deal.

If you do get it, you just need to follow these 8 simple steps:

1. See the staff of doctors that are always on-call in your in-home medical center
2. If you or your doctors think you need it, use the helicopter in back of the house
3. Fly to one of the best hospitals in the country
4. Get taken care of in your VIP suite
5. Take the best therapeutics, including yet-to-be-approved experimental drugs not available to your subjects
6. Load up on steroids that make you think you are all better (until the inevitable crash)
7. Fly back home, remove your mask, and stage-manage your entry back into subsidized housing
8. Insure that none of your government-paid staff is safe from you; if they do get sick they're on their own!
