Steroids talking.... Multiple large font tweets since got his phone back. 

Ongoing horn blaring by supporters outside Walter Reed HOSPITAL.... President states leaving tonight.  Those hospitalized at WR will be able to get rest tonight.

WRONG....No empathy to those around him.

It is reported that the Media is upset because I got into a secure vehicle to say thank you to the many fans and supporters who were standing outside of the hospital for many hours, and even days, to pay their respect to their President. If I didn’t do it, Media would say RUDE!

Hope the WH and President's office area  have been deep cleaned.

It’s kind of cute, and surely an indication of his genius status, that he seems to think that his presidential experience of n=1 is generalizable to the entire population. Never mind those +200,000 deaths. Nothing to worry about here folks... His tweet where he implies that a Covid-19 infection is just a minor nuisance,  just makes this whole thing sound like a publicity stunt. I guess anything and everything can be used for political gain. Including a serious pandemic that has cost so many people so much. 
 

I feel sorry for the other poor patients with those morons honking their horns outside a hospital. For them, his return to the White House probably can’t come soon enough. 
 

The man lives his life on Twitter. He could have thanked his supporters there.  I very much doubt that the media would have been critical of him not going on a joyride. What does he mean when he says that the vehicle is secure? Is it virus secure when the virus is inside?

The people surrounding this man are incapable of making the obvious and necessary decision to question the judgment of the IMPOTUS while he is presumably suffering the cognitive upheaval of high dose dexamethasone therapy.  This country is in danger.

Actually it is virus secure - hermitically sealed for terrorist attacks.  I imagine that the poor people in the car with him were terrorized.

This is infuriating!!  He takes a joyride around WR hospital only with a facemask on, putting the secret service guys at risk.   Saying things like "Don't be afraid of Covid".  Says he's feeling better than he did 20 years.  Can you say Steroids?  He makes me sick.

President Trump left Walter Reed Medical Center just after 6:30 p.m. ET on Monday, hours after the medical team treating him cautioned that he is "not out of the woods yet." He returned to the White House shortly before 7 p.m., where he gave a thumbs up before walking inside. 

Mr. Trump walked out of Walter Reed to an SUV and pumped his fist to the White House reporters, but he did not say anything. The SUV took Mr. Trump to Marine One, which will flew him back to the White House.

President appears short of breath after walking up steps at White House upon return home from hospital.. Later video done, posted on Twitter after he had rested.  Has orange tan again, not well blended....

Hope he will continue with 1hr monitoring of VS to catch any early crump.

I agree, he was winded.  He's not well.

His judgement is dangerously impacted by dexamethasone.  His staff and cabinet are incompetent, corrupt, or both.  The Senate is self absorbed. 

What could possibly go wrong?
