Over the weekend, President Trump left Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to go for
a car ride to salute his supporters that are wishing him well in his battle with COVID-19, which
caused some to scratch their head over this decision.
Leana Wen, a CNN medical analyst and visiting professor at George Washington University,
was one of these people who weren’t in favor of the president leaving the hospital for the car
ride because of the danger he put himself and others in with this decision.
Wen took to Twitter where she stated:
“If @realDonaldTrump were my patient, in unstable condition + contagious illness, & he
suddenly left the hospital to go for a car ride that endangers himself & others: I’d call security to
restrain him then perform a psychiatric evaluation to examine his decision-making capacity.”
Deputy White House press secretary Judd Deere made it known that they took the proper
precautions before conducting the motorcade.
