Source Familiar With Trump's Condition Reportedly Told Reporters “The President’s Vitals Over The Last 24 Hours Were Very Concerning"

We just witnessed the doctors in charge of Donald Trump’s care give an update on his health. The whole affair was supposed to come off as a positive one but it didn’t turn out that way at all.

Firstly, there was the question about oxygen, which the doctors refused to acknowledge and just kept claiming he wasn’t on oxygen now or today. But the issues span farther and grow more concerning from there.

In typical Trumpian fashion, the speaker ducked out of giving any real information, whether it was about how high his fever was or whether or not he was being treated with steroids.

There was one thing to possibly be gained from this update, though, and it came as sort of a slip-up — Donald Trump was allegedly diagnosed 72 hours ago, much before the tweet went out saying he and Melania were tested positive.

Things only get worse from here, as it is being reported from a source that has more information about the president’s condition that the last 24-hours were concerning, and the next couple of days will be critical in terms of his care.

This sounds extremely grim https://t.co/RPkzdqrhIe

To make things even more interesting, a bit before this information started to spread Mark Meadows was caught on camera asking to brief reporters off the record.

We are in uncertain times, indeed, and people are keeping their eyes peeled on the situation as we watch an untrustworthy government tell us our president is fine with no sign of him to speak of.
