President Trump's doctors continue to share conflicting messages about his condition: They said he has recieved the powerful steroid dexamethasone, which is usually reserved for patients with severe COVID-19 symptoms, but that he may be discharged Monday.
President Trump, who is hospitalized with COVID-19, received supplemental oxygen on Saturday – a previously undisclosed episode -- and is now being treated with a powerful steroid amid indications that his lungs may have suffered some damage, the White House physician said Sunday.
“It came off that we were trying to hide something,” he admitted, saying that had not been their intent. Significantly, Conley said the president had been given dexamethasone, a steroid, which some experts had said previously would be a significant development.
