White House physician Dr. Sean Conley and other members of the medical team briefed reporters on President Donald Trump’s condition Saturday at Walter Reed Medical Center, saying the president is “doing very well” and has no difficulty breathing. President Trump was moved to the medical center on Friday “out of an abundance of caution” following mild symptoms of the coronavirus.
Trump, meanwhile, praised the staff at Walter Reed in a tweet Saturday, writing, “Doctors, Nurses and ALL at the GREAT Walter Reed Medical Center, and others from likewise incredible institutions who have joined them, are AMAZING!!! Tremendous progress has been made over the last 6 months in fighting this PLAGUE. With their help, I am feeling well!”

You are seriously one of the most vile hateful creatures on this planet. How miserable it must be to harbor that much hate and disdain for someone. I pray for your soul, may you find peace……
