In First Video From Hospital, Trump Says He Feels ‘Much Better,’ But Next Few Days Will Be ‘The Real Test’

In the video posted on his Twitter account, Trump said: “I came here, wasn’t feeling so well. I feel much better now. We’re working hard to get me all the way back.”

He added that his doctors will be monitoring him over the next few days, which will be “the real test, so we’ll be seeing what happens over those next couple of days.”

Trump said he “had no choice,” but to go to the hospital because he didn’t want to be “locked” inside the White House, though CNN reported Trump was actually reluctant to go to the hospital.

A White House spokesperson told Forbes the video was filmed on Saturday, but did not provide any more details.

Trump isn’t in the clear yet: According to the CDC, the median it took for patients to develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) from the onset of illness or symptoms ranged from 8 to 12 days, and the median time to ICU admission from the onset of illness or symptoms ranged from 10 to 12 days.
