I thought the same thing … he’s clearly having trouble getting enough air and didn’t look at all comfortable or his usual bombastic self.
Give him a day or three and he’ll be back in hospital, which is where he should have stayed.

The latest medical bulletin from the White House doctor claims the president is resting well and is free of Covid symptoms.
But if Donald Trump is recovering from the virus, there is still disarray across the West Wing. More than a dozen key officials have tested positive. The cluster of cases is still radiating out from the likely super-spreader event that happened 10 days ago - a ceremony for the nomination of a Supreme Court hopeful.
The latest person to test positive is Stephen Miller, one of the president’s most powerful advisers and speech writers. He joins a dozen other key staff in isolation.
It has also spread across the military leadership at the Pentagon. All but one of generals on the Joint Chiefs of Staff is in quarantine.
Disarray, indeed … :!:
Sean Conley: Trump ‘free of symptoms and fever’
President Donald Trump has had no Covid-19 symptoms for 24 hours and has been fever-free for more than four days, his doctor says.
Sean Conley said the president also had “detectable levels of Covid antibodies” and had not needed any supplemental oxygen since he was taken to hospital.
It’s a miracle …
US President Donald Trump says he feels great after his Covid-19 illness, describing it as “a blessing from God”. “This (COVID-19) was a blessing in disguise - I caught it, I heard about this drug, I said let me take it and it was incredible,” he said, adding that he would seek emergency use authorisations for the drugs (Regeneron’s drugs have not been approved by federal regulators).
In a video message on Wednesday, Mr Trump said:

[]all Americans should have access to the treatments he was give - he promised to provide the drugs produced by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals free of charge
[]the experimental antibody cocktail he was given last week was a cure and hundreds of thousands of doses were nearly ready.

Delusions, promises and lies …
Trump’s comments during a phone-in interview with Fox Business Channel on Thursday touched on a number of key matters, including his health and the possibility of movement towards a stimulus package for the economy.
On his health, Mr Trump said: “I’m back because I’m a perfect physical specimen.”
Trump ready to return to public events, says doctor
Dr Sean Conley said the president had responded “extremely well” to medication and had “remained stable”.
Mr Trump later said he would probably take another Covid test on Friday and hoped to hold a rally over the weekend.
In a memo released by the White House on Thursday evening, Dr Conley said Mr Trump was displaying no signs “to suggest progression of illness”.
“Saturday will be day 10 since [last] Thursday’s diagnosis, and based on the trajectory of advanced diagnostics the team has been conducting, I fully anticipate the president’s safe return to public engagements at that time,” the memo added.

Nancy Pelosi exploring possibility of having Donald Trump removed from office
The speaker of the United States House of Representatives has announced plans to create a commission to review the possibility of Donald Trump being removed from the office of the President. Pelosi’s announcement comes as the President continues to spark concern with a barrage of erratic tweets, written in capitals, that have raised concerns in some quarters.
Trump does appear to be suffering from delusions, including one that he thinks he’s Mussolini … :shock:
He takes self belief to another level.
Trump to receive televised ‘medical evaluation’
President Donald Trump will go on-camera to prove his health on Friday with an interview that will air on Fox News Channel.
Dr. Marc Siegel, who has compared COVID to the flu and said there is ‘no science’ behind the call to wear face masks, will speak to the president for Tucker Carlson’s show at 8 p.m. ET.
Trump will be on camera at the White House while Siegel will be in New York, speaking to the president via a remote, the network announced. The interview will be pre-taped, which means edits could (will ;-)) be made to it before it airs.
“Prove” …
Donald Trump to speak at campaign event in Florida on Monday - but second debate with Biden will not go ahead
“He wants to talk to the American people, and he wants to be out there,” White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany tells Fox News.
Mr Trump’s campaign team confirmed on Friday that the president will speak at an event at the Orlando Sanford International Airport in Florida on Monday.
After likely contracting Covid-19 from a “super-spreader” event at the White House, Donald Trump will mark his first public engagement on Saturday by holding… another event at the White House.
It comes after the president returned to the virtual campaign trail on Friday with a two-hour online rally with radio host Rush Limbaugh, ahead of a planned “televised evaluation” on Tucker Carlson’s evening Fox News broadcast.
The two-hour love-fest with Limbaugh saw the president drop the F-bomb, call his experimental Covid treatment a “cure”, and claim Nancy Pelosi was trying to oust Joe Biden with a 25th amendment play.
Social media users have been left bewildered by Donald Trump’s bizarre interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity and have taken to Twitter to voice their reactions to the exchange.
During the interview on Thursday, Mr Trump dodged questions about testing, was heard coughing, and launched strange rants against his Democratic opposition.
When discussing climate policies proposed by Democratic candidate Joe Biden and running mate Kamala Harris, the president said Mr Biden would “take buildings down and rebuild them with tiny little windows” that “you can’t see out, you can’t see the light”.
He also attacked California for “sending millions or gallons of water out to sea” in order to “take care of certain little tiny fish”, hit out at Michigan Gov Gretchen Whitmer following revelations of a plot to kidnap her, and once again refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power should he lose the election.
Idiosyncratic or bonkers … :roll:
The interview resembled the type of propaganda we’re used to seeing from foreign dictators, pumped out via state-sponsored media: Russia’s Vladimir Putin showing off his muscular physique to prove he’s still virile, the lethal Saddam Hussein hugging children and aiding the less fortunate.
Groomed and spray-tanned, Trump was posed in front of the American flag for the taped, edited interview. He never coughed, and rarely wheezed, the picture of scripted health.
Trump claimed “I didn’t have a problem with breathing. I got lucky with a certain medicine. … It was miraculous to me. I took the Regeneron. We’re gonna send it to everybody free of charge.”
When asked about the tests they ran, Trump said they tested his lungs with “different” machinery, taking pains to note that he did so without even having to remove his jacket. “It tested good.”
“I have been retested,” Trump said, scarcely clarifying the matter. “I haven’t found out numbers yet or anything. I’m at the bottom of the scale or free.”
On the intellectual scale, Trump is moronic …
Hi
Not a man I can warm to.
Donald Trump invites 2,000 supporters to White House tonight
For this president, there is no substitute for the sound of himself and the sight of a crowd. He’ll speak about law and order from the balcony, so there will be distance between him and the people. Even if there probably won’t be between the people themselves.
Has the president tested negative for coronavirus since he left hospital? It matters because if he’s still infected he could still be shedding and spreading. If he had tested negative for coronavirus, it’s probably safe to assume the White House would rush out such as result. And yet, it hasn’t and neither has he.
Trump is obviously mad … :shock:
In a crowd of 2,000 in the UK, there will be, at least, 100 infected persons - the number will be the same in the USA, perhaps worse … :!:
Trump says he’s no longer taking steroids and feels ‘really good’ but admits he’s NOT tested negative for COVID as he prepares for White House South Lawn event with 2,000 people today.

The World needs Trump!! If or when, he threatens action against another super-power, they HAVE TO consider that he will carry out his threat! The same kind of threat from Biden, just doesn’t have that essential unstable, madman element.
Trump delivers dark and divisive speech
https://edition.cnn.com/2020/10/10/politics/donald-trump-covid-white-house-event/index.html
A defiant President Donald Trump put lives at risk once again, just nine days after he revealed his own Covid-19 diagnosis.
After being sidelined from the campaign trail for more than a week, Trump leaned into his law-and-order message in a speech threaded with falsehoods that was clearly a campaign rally disguised as a White House event.
Trump claimed that if the left gains power, they’ll launch a crusade against law enforcement. Echoing his highly inaccurate campaign ads that suggest that Democratic nominee Joe Biden would defund 911 operations and have a “therapist” answer calls about crime, Trump falsely claimed that the left is focused on taking away firearms, funds and authority from police.
With just three weeks to go until an election in which he’s trailing badly in the polls, and millions of voters already voting, Trump is deploying familiar scare tactics.
The event was purportedly aimed at Black and Latino Americans, who, he argued, are benefiting from his agenda.
The ignorance of Trump inviting a group of Black and Latino Americans, who have been disproportionately affected by the coronavirus, to an event at the White House at a time when he might still be contagious, was appalling to Dr. Jeremy Faust, an emergency physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
“The images we are seeing are absolutely extraordinary,” Faust said on CNN’s “Newsroom” as attendees on the South Lawn did very little social distancing, with many not wearing masks. “To literally draw (Black and Latino activists) into the White House, to a hot zone, is extraordinarily inept in terms of public policy and public health … If you believe nuclear power is safe, you don’t go and have a picnic at Chernobyl the next day to prove that point.”
Of course, there’s lots more of Trump’s delusions, promises and lies …
US President Donald Trump is no longer a Covid transmission risk to others, the White House physician has said.
Sean Conley’s memo is the first update on Mr Trump’s health since Thursday. However, the statement did not say whether Mr Trump had tested negative for Covid-19.
The doctor’s memo said the latest tests on the president revealed there was “no longer evidence of actively replicating virus”, and that his viral load was “decreasing”.
In the memo, Dr Conley said President Trump had been given sensitive lab tests that detect how much of the virus is still in his system and that “by currently recognised standards, he is no longer considered a transmission risk to others”.
Dr Conley can certainly talk the talk about medical matters but why no mention of a simple test …
