WASHINGTON (Reuters) - White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows revealed that President Donald Trump's condition on Friday was far worse than officials had made public, saying doctors recommended the president go to the hospital after seeing he had a fever and his blood oxygen level dropped rapidly.

Meadows made the comments in an interview with Fox News broadcast Saturday night that capped two days of conflicting and opaque assessments of the 74-year-old president's health.

"I can tell you this the biggest thing we see is with no fever now, and with him doing really well with his oxygen saturation levels," Meadows told Fox host Jeanine Pirro. “Yesterday morning we were really concerned by that. He had a fever, and his oxygen level had dropped rapidly. Yet in typical style, this president was up and walking around."

White House officials including Meadows said on Friday that Trump was experiencing "mild symptoms" and continuing to work. He told Fox News however, that doctors from Walter Reed and Johns Hopkins recommended that Trump go to the hospital.

"He's made unbelievable improvements from yesterday morning when I know a number of us, the doctor and I, were very concerned," Meadows said.

Trump just pulled off the biggest HOAX of 2020! 🤣 He never had COVID. Most of his base believe any and everything he say. Im on the Trump train but im not buy the COVID HOAX AT ALL🙄‼️
This guy works tirelessly even through illness.
He and his wife should be quarantined at least 14days.
So Biden can go to key states and spread fear and panic because they have NO PLAN of action. Bidens plan is to sell the rest of America to the corrupt Chinese. Vote Trump!
Its worse to say he is getting better when millions infected do not get the necessary mecical care, like Ventilator, or medicine to overcoming the Covid. People are feeling shortchanged
He's offering himself as a guinea *****for experimental medication. What more can you ask of a leader? And a great leader he is!
OP clearly doesn't have a lot of real world knowledge of Covid to actually think millions of people are shortchanged. lol

We said he was fine yesterday yesterday, but we lied. Tofay believe us that hes doing amazingly well!
Harhahhahh, never trust an incorrigible liar
It's a national security issue you mindless....
He's better cause he's on steroids, a temp solution.
Some people don't like to live in fear. we all die, but cowards die 1000 times. I'm paraphrasing someone. so hide in your basements with your masks on if you wish. But as for me, give me liberty or give me death. I think that's Thomas Paine.
a mask? why stop there. *******seat belts. while we are at it, why put on a lead suit when take an x-ray, that's just for fools!
or maybe we can all live in a padded bubble with seatbelts on.
it must be tough when the sky is always falling. I'll pray for you.
It is time for POTUS to inject detergent into his body to ***Covid-19. Anyway, Covid-19 is just a hoax right? No worry, it will go away by itself. By why have to go to hospital? Having holiday in a hospital?
If a guy doesn’t know how to properly wear a mask, nothing is more simpler than that you may say, how on earth would such a guy be able to manager the top office in this nation? No wonder the master of the office was sent to the hospital for the infection.
If you think a mask oeeps you from GETTING covid, you are the problem.
*keeps
LLMAOOOO. they can't even tell the truth about the health of our president. the whole bunch needs to be flushed down the drain
Biden 12 points ahead in polling. Democratic will take Senate and House. Ferederal Reserve will print Government will spend Dollar will fall. Interest Rates will rise. Repo rate will go out of Feds control. Corporate debt will fail. Equities will plummet. The Greatest Depression ever starts in 30 days. Good luck
LMAOOOO checks trump's twitter (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1312864232711520257).... DEMOCRATS ARE SO SCREWED. democrats dig their own grave. hyped it up, ended up just being like the common flu...even for an obese 74 year old obese man. plus his "miracle" treatments worked. media and democrats handed trump another win. now or.ange man immune.
All this will lead to Chloroquine or some medicine he was administered? Lol
Therenis not ine si gle person outside the US who likes him. To suggest that the whole world is oraying for him is the biggest joke i have heard
I wonder if Mc Donalds will taste the same for him? Say it ain't so, Joe!
conspiracy to *****in the name of corona by devil's party huh
Trump lied about his health. What's new? Man can't tell the truth to save his life.
virus so deadly you have to test to see if you got it... symptoms like common cold or no symptoms at all... non existent death rate. fake news, Trump will be fine.
ok doctor
US Dollar will continue uptrend in short term due to more and more uncertainties of the election..
No , more stimulus=more printing=down it goes. Usd overshoot to the down side because of that.
I agree. That's why I said in SHORT TERM, it will go up before it drops further.
Yesterday i said since they give him drugs after drugs either he was scared or doctors were ie his condition worsen rapidly.
Hope
1
he is the one contracted, but why am i the one cut losses...
A strong man, and a strong leader. I can see how many are disappointed of his progress against this illness. As you can see from his latest Twitter video, he doesn't look sickly at all. Prayer works!
Hahahaha reality is president Bone Spur draft dodger headed to Walter Reed the second he caught the little flu
Trump kept asking aides, “Am I going out like Stan Chera? Am I?” lol
Lies after lies from that administration
Stop you all nonsense
 Take an English class
Can't get a straight answer out of the administration ever. First mild symptoms no problem, then out of abundance of caution goes to hospital and now they were very concerned. Nothing this administration says can be believed everything is designed to make Trump look good even if lies are needed to make it so.
Lies lies lies and then... more lies...
Russian disinformation tactics are embraced by the administration. The similarities are uncanny
