President Trump’s physician Dr. Sean Conley said at a press briefing moments ago that the President’s evaluations and clinical status supports his return home.
“Though he may not be entirely out of the woods yet, the team and I agree that all his evaluations, and most importantly, his clinical status support his return home where he’ll be surrounded by world class medical care 24/7,” he said.
Earlier today, Trump said he will be leaving Water Reed medical center at 6:30 p.m. ET.
Trump advisers urged him to stay in hospital as recently as this morning
President Trump’s advisers urged Trump not to check out of the hospital as recently as this morning, a source close to the White House tells CNN.
Even as Trump has told aides he feels better and is agitating to get out of the hospital, aides have encouraged Trump to stay, warning him of the bad optics if his condition were to worsen again requiring a second hospitalization.
“You don’t wanna come back,” is the message that’s been relayed to the President, this source said.
If Trump gets worse after returning to the White House, this source said: “That would be bad.”
“Bottom line is you can have good days and bad days. You could fool yourself into thinking you’re feeling better and you’re not,” the source said.
Trump tweeted Monday afternoon that he was leaving Walter Reed medical center at 6:30 p.m. ET and the White House press office confirmed he will be returning to the White House.
