After being admitted to Walter Reed Hospital on Friday, President Trump has released a video from the medical center on Saturday evening. He shares that he's doing well and addresses his positive COVID-19 test.
As rumors fly about President Trump's health, he released a video to confirm that he's doing well.
President Trump tweeted a video in which he said "I came here, wasn't feeling so well. I feel much better now. We're working hard to get me all the way back. I have to be back, because we still have to make America great again. We've done an awfully good job of that, but we still have steps to go and we have to have to finish that job."He also clarified why he chose to move to Walter Reed.

"I had no choice because I just didn't want to stay in the White House. I was given that alternative -- stay in the White House, lock yourself in, don't ever leave, don't even go to the Oval Office, just stay upstairs and enjoy it. Don't see people, don't talk to people, and just be done with it -- and I can't do that. I had to be out front, and this is America, this is the United States. This is the greatest country in the world, this is the most powerful country in the world, I can't be locked up in a room upstairs and totally safe and just say, hey, whatever happens happens, I can't do that."In addition, he shared that Melania Trump is doing well.

The First Lady also tested positive for COVID-19 this week, and President Trump shared that she's doing well, joking that she's "just a little bit" younger than he is and her age is helping her recover.The president's update finished with a thank you to the American people.

He said "I just want to be so thankful for all of the support I've seen, whether it's on television or reading about it. I, most of all, appreciate what's been said by the American people, by almost a bipartisan consensus of American people -- it's a beautiful thing to see. And I very much appreciate it and I won't forget it -- promise you that. I also want to thank the leaders of the world for their condolences and their -- they know what we're going through."Trump has returned to Twitter
He has nothing but praise for the staff at Walter Reed Medical Center, however it's unclear whether his health is improving or if his condition is concerning.Source shares that his breathing was challenging.

The White House source went on to say that President Trump's "vitals over the last 24 hours were very concerning and the next 48 hours will be critical in terms of his care."Less than 24 hours ago Trump was taken to hospital.

According to The Washington Post, "Trump is struggling with a low-grade fever, a cough, and nasal congestion, among other symptoms." Press secretary Kayleigh McEnany told the press, "President Trump remains in good spirits, has mild symptoms, and has been working throughout the day. Out of an abundance of caution, and at the recommendation of his physician and medical experts, the President will be working from the presidential offices at Walter Reed for the next few days. President Trump appreciates the outpouring of support for both he and the First Lady." Now his doctor has spoken out giving an update on his condition.Since the news broke last night that Donald and Melania Trump have tested positive for coronavirus...

The president was grilled on the newly surfaced allegations regarding his income tax.
via: Getty
Asked if it was true that he paid just $750 in income tax in 2016, as reported by The New York Times last week, Trump said, without hesitation: "I paid millions of dollars in taxes, of income tax." Biden used this opportunity to ask for evidence of these tax payments, adding that Trump "takes advantage of the tax code."Trump was also asked to condemn white supremacist groups...
via: Getty
But instead chose to focus on the left. He said: "Sure I'm willing to do that, but almost everything I see is from the left-wing. I'm willing to do anything. I want to see peace." And, when asked to give this group of people a name, he responded with "Proud Boys." Proud Boys, a neo-Nazi organization, appeared to use Trump's "stand back, stand by" call in a new logo posted on Telegram shortly after the debate.The president did provide some good news with regards to a coronavirus vaccine, however.
via: Getty
When Biden pointed out that 200,000 Americans have died during the pandemic as a result of the President's "lack of plan", Trump retaliated by insisting that "millions would have died if Biden was in charge." He then added that the US is "weeks away" from a vaccine, and his administration had done a "great job."Biden's son, Hunter, was then dragged back into the firing line.
via: Getty
The President brought up Biden's son, claiming the mayor of Moscow's wife gave him millions of dollars and raising questions over his links with Ukraine. He also mentioned Hunter's drug problems.Clearly, his words about Hunter hit a nerve with Biden.
