President Trump Returns to White House

Summary from the AllSides News Team

President Donald Trump was discharged from Walter Reed Medical Center and returned to the White House on Monday evening. Earlier Monday, Trump tweeted that he would "be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 P.M." White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said Monday morning that President Trump's condition was improving and that he might be released from the Walter Reed Hospital, where he has been battling COVID-19. On Sunday, Trump waved from a motorcade to his followers who gathered outside of Walter Reed in support. On Monday Trump's medical team warn that he “may not entirely be out of the woods yet.” Coverage from the right tended to focus on Trump's discharge and the crowd of supporters who gathered outside of Walter Reed. Coverage from center- and left-rated outlets tended to focus on the fact that Trump will continue his COVID-19 treatment; some voices from the left criticized Trump's motorcade and his remarks advising, "Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life."
