In total, Trump tweeted 13 all-caps messages on Monday morning.
The tweets come a day after Trump’s medical team, during a Sunday press briefing, reported Trump was doing well since testing positive for COVID-19. On Sunday, Dr. Brian Garibaldi, a member of Trump’s medical team, said Trump could be discharged from the hospital by as early as Monday.
Trump has been receiving the antiviral medication Remdesivir as a treatment for his COVID-19 case, and on Sunday Trump’s medical team revealed they had also placed Trump on Dexamethasone, a corticosteroid to help against inflammation.
Trump’s COVID-19 diagnosis has forced his campaign to switch to virtual campaign events, but U.S. News and World Report reported the campaign will resume in-person events after the Vice-Presidential debate between Vice President Mike Pence and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) on Wednesday, Oct. 7.
