(CNN)President Donald Trump is furious with chief of staff Mark Meadows after the top West Wing official contradicted the White House physician's assessment Saturday of the President's health, two sources with knowledge of the situation told CNN on Sunday.

Meadows is now widely known inside the White House to be the unnamed source who spoke to reporters following the medical briefing Saturday and offered a more dire assessment than Navy Cmdr. Dr. Sean Conley had given shortly before. That reporting was initially given to a pool of reporters attributed to an official familiar with the President's condition. Later, the Associated Press and the New York Times identified that official as Meadows.

"The President's vitals over the last 24 hours were very concerning and the next 48 hours will be critical in terms of his care. We are still not on a clear path to a full recovery," Meadows said to reporters.

Trump is outraged at Meadows over the botched message, according to a senior Trump adviser.

1. IOW, His Lardship is pissed off because Meadows told the truth for a change.

14. I Think Meadows Is Worried About Pissing Off Other Republican Leaders...

... it is one thing to lie to the American people and even Republican constituents, but if Meadows lies to the Republican congressional leadership and they start dropping due to COVID, then Meadows will not have any post-Trump future. So, Meadows clumsily tried to provide a more candid assessment, but he was caught.

2. Sounds like Trump is pretty much normal. NT

5. MORE IN LINE OF FIRE SOON.

Today Dr. Sean Conley told reporters he may release Trump from hospital on Monday. HOWEVER, National Security Advisor Robert O'Brian on "Meet The Press" this morning told the show that while Trump was feeling better he would still remain in the hospital for a period of time! Can't seem to keep their messages straight!

7. If mf45 is so sick how can he be so outraged ?

If one really had the corona virus they would be out of it. This Covid Infection story is getting more Suspicious.

Sorry I am not trying to be conspiratorial but MF45 is such a liar I wouldn’t put it past him to try to gain sympathy for his failing campaign.

9. Exactly! Really sick covid pts struggle to breathe, let alone talk or rant!!

11. I'm calling BS. I have an employee who had it bad.

Spent 3 days in ICU. On oxygen, not vented. He was given remdisivir and in 4 more days was released. This was in June when doctors were scrambling.

Not no time was he not lucid nor unable to communicate.

Saying this virus always a certain way is just not a statement backed by facts.

8. I hope he chokes on his anger.

Fuck you, you piece of shit!

18. WHY DONT THEY put him in detox and get him off the amphetamines - while they have him. His

babysitters should have done an intervention years ago - the American public should not have had to put up with this nonsense Long term speed abuse does in fact cause paranoia, rage, delusions - certainly exascerbated whatever else personality disorders hes got going on.
