He tweeted soon after his diagnosis, ‘I think I’m doing very well. But we’re going to make sure that things work out. The first lady is doing very well. So thank you very much.’
Then, upon his hospital release, Trump reportedly wanted to do a Superman t-shirt reveal as a ‘symbol of strength’ and to prove that he was doing OK, but it’s now come to light that he was much sicker than he let on.
According to The New York Times, while in hospital last year, Trump’s blood oxygen became ‘extremely depressed’ at one point and he developed a lung problem associated with pneumonia caused by the coronavirus.
Sources told the publication that the former president’s blood oxygen levels dipped into the 80s – the disease is considered severe when the blood oxygen level falls to the low 90s.
In addition to this, it’s thought that Trump had difficulty breathing upon his arrival in hospital, and the treatment he received while there indicates that his condition was actually quite bad. However, his team at the White House continuously downplayed the severity of his illness.

Would have shown old man Cadet Bone Spurs vulnerability. Too bad he didn't succumb but instead received gold standard care on the taxpayer's dime!
