On “Justice with Judge Jeanine” White House chief of staff Mark Meadows commented on President Trump’s health condition which had deteriorated Friday after he was diagnosed with COVID-19.
“Yesterday, we were real concerned. He had a fever, and his blood oxygen level dropped rapidly,” Meadows said.
However, since then Trump has made “unbelievable improvement” and Meadows said the president no longer has a fever his oxygen saturation levels were improving.
“I’m very, very optimistic based on the current results,” he said but added that the president’s doctor said, “He’s not out of the woods for the next 48 hours or so.”
“In typical style, this president was up and walking around,” said Meadows. “He’s been an outstanding patient with one exception — he continues to work and continues to believe that he’s got to get a number of things done for the American people.”
Meadows said he understands that Americans have legitimate concerns but some of the media’s fears were “irrational.”
“I have seen some of the reports and all of the pictures about the transition of power and who’s going to replace this person or that person,” said Meadows, “and while that may make for good clicks on the internet and make for great hyperbole on TV, there was never a consideration and never even a risk for a transition of power.”
He is confident that the president is “going to make sure that America is great again but also that we defeat this virus together.”
