trump Officials report mixed messages on Trump's health after COVID-19 hospitalization U.S. president has been undergoing treatment for COVID-19 since Friday U.S. President Donald Trump went through a "very concerning" period Friday and faces a "critical" next two days in his fight against COVID-19 at a military hospital, his chief of staff said Saturday — in contrast to a rosier assessment moments earlier by Trump doctors, who took pains not to reveal the president had received supplemental oxygen at the White House before his hospital admission. Trump himself offered an upbeat assessment Saturday evening in a video from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. While sounding winded, the president said he was beginning to feel better and hoped to "be back soon."

"He spent much of the afternoon conducting business and has been up and moving about the medical suite without difficulty," Conley said in a statement.
