Trump says he feels better and will 'be back soon' in video, Internet says 'look at his eyes, he's still sick'

On Saturday, October 3, the POTUS tweeted a video and thanked the doctors and medical professionals of Walter Reed

On Friday, October 2, President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania tested positive for Covid-19. There was a lot of chaos and discussion since he announced the news. Many of his supporters and politicians sent their wishes and hoped he recovered soon. And, as expected, there was a lot speculation about what happens to the upcoming presidential debates and, more importantly, the election.

As reported earlier, White House officials said that they "have serious concerns about Trump's condition tonight". Sources even said that his "symptoms are worse than those of the first lady at this point". Following this, the POTUS was airlifted to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. The White House said the visit of "a few days" to the hospital was precautionary and that he would continue working from the hospital's presidential suite. On Saturday, October 3, Trump tweeted a video saying he was feeling “much better” and he thanked the doctors and medical professionals of Walter Reed. He also said, “We are going to beat this coronavirus or whatever you want to call it, and we’re going to beat it soundly.” He also added, “I think I'll be back soon.” Trump thanked his well-wishers and world leaders for their messages of support.

He continued, “I had no choice because I just didn't want to stay in the White House. I was given that alternative, stay in the White House, lock yourself in, don't ever leave, don't even go to the Oval Office. Just stay upstairs and enjoy it, don't see people, don't talk to people and be done with it. I can't do that, I had to be up front. This is America, this is the United States, this is the greatest country in the world. This is the most powerful country in the world. I can't be locked up in a room upstairs and totally safe and just say — 'hey whatever happens, happens.' We have to confront problems. As a leader, you have to confront problems. There's never been a great leader that would have done that." Trump also mentioned that FLOTUS was doing well.

Soon a lot of users commented on his video. A user alleged, “Donald Trump admitted to Bob Woodward he downplayed #Coronavirus. What makes anyone think he’s not downplaying his own diagnosis?? Look at his eyes in the video, they look terrible, he’s still sick.” Another user commented, “Mr President I'm literally sitting here crying and throwing up at this news. You are the bravest man I have ever seen. I named my first son Donald after you. If anything happened to you I don't know what I would do. Thank you for ending racism.”

One questioned: “It’s wonderful that you are getting wonderful care...but what about the millions who aren’t? Either because they have lost their insurance or can’t afford it? Add to that...you are actively trying to strip healthcare from millions? Hmmm?” Another stated, “'I'm doing well" - that's good to hear, now we can get back to election mode & talking about realities & confronting problems. The truth is that Trump is in Walter Reed right now as a direct consequence of his own failed approach to dealing with this pandemic: ignoring it.” A user said, "I am glad you’re fine." One commented, "God Bless you Donald Trump, God Bless your wife Melania!! I pray you take this time to rest so you can come back full force, our country needs you, in Jesus name I pray!!"
