Reakinnews. President trump is back in the oval office and back on camera tonight, two days after returning from the hospital. In a new video produced by the white house, the president says he feels perfect and calls his infection with coronavirus a blessing in disguise. He also says the experimental drug therapy he received is a cure and that he plans to make it available for free to all americans. Now, that might be over promising the drug, made by the company regeneron, because it has not been approved by the f. D. A. And was only given to the president under special exception called compassionate use. Now, the president s decision to return to the west wing is not only putting his staff at risk. It violates his own governments guidance that anyone infected should isolate for ten days. Now, in a written statement today, his doctor said he did not have symptoms but he did not say if it was safe for trump to interact with others. Now, the president s new video tonight also risks upstaging his own Vice President , mike pence, just hours before he debates the democratic nominee, senator Kamala Harris.

His doctor releasing this brief fivesentence update that President Trump feels great, has been symptomfree for 24 hours, and has detectable levels of covid antibodies in his blood. When you look at the timing it seems to be too early for the president to have mounted his own antibody response that is now measurable.

Sean conley has not revealed whether President Trump has any lung damage or if he is still on the powerful steroid dexamethasone.
