特朗普得新冠三天就出院！这究竟是医学奇迹？还是虐粉骗票！（附视频&解说稿）

“海军陆战队一号”总统专用直升机10月5日傍晚19时左右在白宫南草坪着陆。特朗普走出直升机，拾级而上。他摘下口罩，竖起拇指，挥手致意后走进白宫。此刻，距离特朗普2日入院，不过72小时。

当天早些时候，特朗普就已在推特预告自己出院的消息：“我将在今天下午18时30分离开了不起的沃尔特·里德医疗中心。感觉真的很棒！不要畏惧新冠病毒……我比20年前的感觉还好！”

他还称，自己很快会回到竞选战场，假新闻媒体只会报道假民调。其竞选团队随后确认，特朗普将按原计划参加10天后的电视辩论。

对于辩论的安全问题，民主党总统候选人拜登5日回应称，“如果科学家说可以安全进行，而两人能保持安全距离，那我认为没问题。我将遵照专家的建议行事。”

在美国历史上，围绕总统疾病问题向来不会尽数公开。那么特朗普入院的这72小时，到底发生了什么？

虽然医疗团队做出了让特朗普出院的决定，但白宫医生康利5日下午也强调，特朗普并未完全摆脱危险。

在被问到总统的思维清晰度是否受到服用的药物影响时，康利说：“你已经看到他的视频和帖子，很快就会看到他露面……他已恢复元气。”

但医生们仍然担忧，如其他很多新冠肺炎患者一样，特朗普的病情有可能会在感染后的第7天至第10天恶化。

据悉，特朗普2日晚在白宫时体温飙升至摄氏39.4度，并出现心悸情况。他明显感到焦虑，入院前一直问工作人员：“我会像切拉一样离开（人世）吗？我会吗？”（切拉是特朗普的多年好友，4月11日因感染新冠肺炎逝世。）

With White House return

Trump seeks to ‘show strength’

JUDY WOODRUFF: And now the president is on his way back to the White House.

This evening, he left Walter Reed National Medical -- Military Medical Center, where he had spent just under three days being treated for COVID-19.

He was flown on Marine One.

He is saying that he will continue his treatment and recovery from Pennsylvania Avenue.

And Yamiche Alcindor joins me now.

Yamiche, we're learning the president has -- his helicopter has just arrived at the White House.

So, tell us, what have you heard from the people around the president? What are they saying about how he is going to continue his treatment and recovery at the White House? YAMICHE ALCINDOR: We just saw an extraordinary scene of the president leaving Walter Reed Medical Center and really wanting to show strength.

He arrived at the White House, walked up the stairs on his own with a mask on, and then removed that mask and waved to the Marine One, the helicopter that had just transported him from the hospital.

This is no doubt a show of strength.

The president wants to appear confident.

But the president's doctors continue to say that he is not out of the woods.

But let's read a tweet that the president sent just before he walked out the hospital.

He wrote -- quote -- "We will be back on the campaign trail soon.

The fake news only shows the fake polls." So, that's the president saying, essentially, that he wants to get back in the game.

A reporter was asking him, how many people on your staff are sick and how many people are you worried about? Also, are you a super-spreader? But the president took no answers.

The president's doctors say that he is going to continue his treatment at the White House.

He's going to be monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

They say that, also, Walter Reed medical staff will be helping in monitoring the president.

But there are a lot of unanswered questions when it comes to the president's health and how this will move forward.

JUDY WOODRUFF: And what about that, Yamiche? I know that from, listening to the reporting today, what are you and other reporters who spend so much time covering this president, what questions do you still have? And what is known about what's called contract tracing, trying to find people who were in contact with the president? YAMICHE ALCINDOR: There are a lot of unanswered questions, a long, long list of them, and partly because the president's doctor, Sean Conley, he has said himself that he was not fully transparent and at times wanted to seem upbeat, instead of actually giving out facts.

So, some of the questions that we don't have answers to are, when was the last time the president tested negative for the coronavirus? Also, was he tested before the Tuesday debate when he was on stage with Joe Biden? Also, what do scans show of the president's lungs? Are there damage there? Is there some sort of pneumonia that the president is still feeling there? And, also, where is he going to be working at the White House? We -- he just went to the residence.

But there are people wondering, is he going to be in the Oval Office? Are other people going to be exposed? Answers that I have been pushing to get answered, but answers that we're not getting.

JUDY WOODRUFF: And finally, Yamiche, the president -- among other things, the president tweeted today, "Don't be afraid of COVID"? How does that square with the public health guidelines around this very infectious disease? YAMICHE ALCINDOR: Well, we can see that the president is already starting to hint that he's going to really use his coronavirus diagnosis, as well as his hopeful recovery, to really his own political benefit.

He is focused on the fact that he is down in the polls nationally, that Joe Biden has opened up a lead in very critical battleground states.

So, what the president there is saying, that people should not be worried about this virus.

That is something that the president has been doing for a long time, downplaying the virus.

He's admitted to doing that.

There are health officials who say, that is dangerous, that the president needs to be telling people, stay vigilant, keep wearing your mask, keep washing your hands, keep doing social distancing.

So, there are a lot of people who are worried that the president is not being right when he's saying, don't worry and don't let this dominate your life.

JUDY WOODRUFF: And, Yamiche, from talking to -- again, from talking to your sources in and around the White House, how are they saying this decision was made for the president to come back after not even three days? YAMICHE ALCINDOR: Well, the president really has been pushing his doctors to let him out of the White House (sic).

From what I can tell and from what my sources are telling me, the president was calling people, saying: I need to get out of here.

I don't want to be here anymore.

He was very cognizant of the fact that the campaign might be looked at as weak because he was sitting in a hospital bed.

So, the president really wanted to make sure that he was out.

And we heard from the White House doctor that he wanted to reassure the president, that he wanted to put out information that would put the president at ease.

And that's why we have these critical unanswered questions, which are, how can the president safely be back at the White House, when he's on at least three different drugs fighting the coronavirus? He is also 74.

He's at risk.

He's overweight.

So, there are a lot of people who are worried that this was a decision that wasn't really made in the best interests of his medical status, but, rather, that this was made to try to make sure that the president got what he wanted.

It's a very, very big issue.

And it's an issue that I'm going to continue to press on and, of course, we're going to continue to report on.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Yamiche Alcindor, our White House correspondent, thank you very much.
