President Trump will leave Walter Reed TONIGHT and says ‘don’t be afraid of COVID’ just 72 hours after he was rushed to the hospital.

The President wrote on Twitter.
President Trump was eager to leave the hospital as soon as possible, as the drama around his treatment and the virus’s toll on the White House continued to mount.

Amid questions about whether Mr Trump could relocate to the White House without endangering himself and others came a reminder that the virus may still be spreading through the West Wing and beyond: Mr Trump’s press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, announced that she, too, had tested positive for the virus and would be isolating.
