President Donald Trump walked out the golden front doors of the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Monday and boarded the presidential helicopter to return to the White House after his discharge following treatment for COVID-19.
Wearing a white surgical mask, Trump gave a thumbs-up and waved at reporters as he walked to the executive mansion from the helicopter that flew him back from the Walter Reed Medical Center outside Washington.
He then walked up the staircase of the White House South Portico, removed his mask, and posed for pictures, at times giving a thumbs-up and others a salute.
Leaving the military hospital earlier in the evening, he responded to a reporter’s question about how many people were infected at the White House by saying: “Thank you very much.”
He will continue to recuperate for an unspecified amount of time at the White House before resuming his re-election campaign.
