Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Friday afternoon, "out of an abundance of caution," White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said at the time. White House chief of staff Mark Meadows later painted a dimmer picture of Trump's health on Friday when he was hospitalized. "He had a fever and his blood oxygen level had dropped rapidly," he told Fox News on Saturday evening.
On Saturday, White House physician Sean Conley told reporters that "yesterday and today" Trump had not been treated with supplemental oxygen. On Sunday, however,that the president was indeed given oxygen: "I didn't want to give any information that might steer the course of illness in another direction, and in doing so, came off as if we were trying to hide something."
Conley also told reporters on Saturday that Trump was "72 hours into the diagnosis," suggesting the president had tested positive on Wednesday — before he traveled to Minnesota that evening for a campaign rally and over 24 hours before his diagnosis was officially announced. Conley later walked back his remarks, claiming in a memot that he'd used the term "seventy two hours" instead of "day three" and '"forty eight hours" instead of "day two.
Trump started treatment with a steroid, called dexamethasone, Conley said on Sunday. Conley offered an upbeat assessment of Trump's health during the same press conference, though theTrump's surprise drive-by greeting for supporters outside the military hospital on Sunday was criticized by medical experts, who pointed out the health risks posed to Secret Service agents inside the car.
