It has been revealed Donald Trump, 74, received oxygen at the White House on Friday night after he tested positive for coronavirus

Donald Trump received oxygen while at the White House battling coronavirus and the next 48 hours are ‘critical’, an anonymous official has told US media.

Minutes after a public press briefing from the president’s physician described him as ‘doing very well’ and ‘in exceptionally good spirits’ an anonymous official gave a much grimmer assessment of the 74-year-old’s health.

Dr Sean Conley had refused to answer categorically if Trump, who is considered high risk with Covid-19 due to his advanced age and obesity, had ever received oxygen.

Yesterday the 74-year-old was hospitalized while suffering from ‘mild’ symptoms. He walked to Marine One and was flown to Walter Reed Medical Center in Bethesda where he is now being treated.

doctors have refused to provide critical details leaving the impression that he was known to be sick earlier than originally thought.
