The White House says President Trump returned to the Oval Office Wednesday — even though he’s ill with COVID-19 and likely highly contagious. Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and his deputy, Dan Scavino, reportedly wore full personal protective gear — masks, gowns and eye protection — as they met with Trump in the West Wing. In a statement, Trump’s personal doctor painted a rosy picture of Trump’s health, saying the president does not require oxygen and had no fever. Dr. Sean Conley did not say what drugs President Trump is currently taking or reveal when Trump had his last negative coronavirus test.
With his campaign rallies canceled and his schedule cleared, Trump was on Twitter throughout the day Tuesday and Wednesday — firing off more than 50 tweets over one two-hour period. Among other things, Trump accused Joe Biden, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton of a ”TREASONOUS PLOT,” said Democrats want to shut down churches permanently, and attacked FDA vaccine safety standards as “another political hit job.”
