Trump’s hospitalization is the most serious known medical episode involving the country’s chief executive since Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981, and has roiled the presidential race a month before the Nov. 3 election.
Officials try to allay fears about Trump’s condition, but contradictory information and a credibility gap undermine the effort.The disclosure that Trump is receiving dexamethasone is a clear signal that his illness is a serious one, said Ashish Jha, dean of the Brown University School of Public Health. In an interview Saturday, Jha said he would watch for use of dexamethasone, which would be a “very clear signal that he has a more severe disease.
Despite the disclosure of more serious symptoms, the medical team said Trump was doing well on Sunday.“Since we last spoke, the president has continued to improve,” Conley said, adding that the course of any illness has “ups and downs.” “Look, we have a great vice president,” he said. “We have a government that is steady, and is steady at the tiller.”O’Brien, who recovered from a bout of COVID-19 over the summer — said he would expect the president to remain hospitalized “for at least another period of time,” adding that “day seven and eight are the critical days.”
