Trump Leaves Hospital Briefly; Doctors Report 2 Drops in Oxygen Saturation

Steve Herman

   WHITE HOUSE - After tweeting a video early Sunday evening saying he's
   "getting great reports" from his doctors, U.S. President Donald Trump
   promised a little surprise for his supporters outside the hospital
   where he is being treated for COVID-19.

   The president then briefly left Walter Reed National Military Medical
   Center in an armored SUV with Secret Service agents in tow to drive by
   a flag-waving, cheering crowd outside the hospital.

   "President Trump took a short, last-minute motorcade ride to wave to
   his supporters outside and has now returned to the Presidential Suite
   inside Walter Reed," White House spokesman Judd Deere said in a
   statement.

   Earlier Sunday, the doctors treating the president revealed that their
   patient experienced "two episodes of transient drops in his oxygen
   saturation."

   Despite that, "The fact of the matter is, he is doing really well," the
   president's primary physician, Dr. Sean Conley, told reporters.
   COVID-19 is the disease caused by the coronavirus.
