President Trump tweeted Monday afternoon that he will be returning to the White House this evening.
“I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 P.M.” he wrote. “Feeling really good! Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!”

Earlier, the doctors who are overseeing the president’s care said he continues to improve and also might return to the White House later today.
On Sunday, Mr. Trump briefly left the hospital where he’s been staying to greet supporters who had gathered outside the facility to wish him well.
Crowds lined the streets outside Walter Reed Medical Center as the president drove by in his car wearing a mask and waving. “God bless our president,” yelled one supporter as the president’s motorcade passed.
Some have criticized the president’s move, saying it may have endangered Secret Service members inside the vehicle. A White House spokesperson insists the trip was cleared by medical staff.
The president has been at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland since Friday, shortly after announcing that he had tested positive for the virus.
