- President Donald Trump exits Marine One at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on October 2, 2020 in Bethesda, Maryland. The president announced that he and First Lady Melania Trump tested positive for Covid-19 early Friday morning.

President Donald Trump was taken by helicopter to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center Friday evening amid fears that his Covid-19 diagnosis could foretell an outbreak on Capitol Hill and calls for independent medical experts to evaluate Trump, given his administration's notorious track record of blatant dishonesty.

The president, who confirmed on Twitter early Friday that he and First Lady Melania Trump had both tested positive for the coronavirus, wore a mask and suit as he walked to Marine One, trailed by White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. Trump gave a thumbs up to news crews but did not stop to address reporters.

CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta, who was there when the president departed, told host Anderson Cooper that a Trump campaign adviser said "that this is serious, that the president has been having some trouble breathing, that he's been very fatigued today, very tired, and emphasized that this is not just a run-of-the-mill trip up to Walter Reed, that this is a serious situation."

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said in a statement that "President Trump remains in good spirits, has mild symptoms, and has been working throughout the day. Out of an abundance of caution, and at the recommendation of his physician and medical experts, the president will be working from the presidential offices at Walter Reed for the next few days. President Trump appreciates the outpouring of support for both he and the first lady."

After being uncharacteristically absent from Twitter throughout the day, Trump posted a video update not long after boarding the helicopter to head to the military hospital. The video appears to have been recorded before he left the White House...
