US President Donald Trump made a surprise visit to his supporters outside the hospital where he was being treated for the Corona virus.

The 74-year-old briefly left Walter Reed Medical Center in Maryland on Sunday and was seen sitting in a black car wearing a mask waving to people waiting on the side of the road.

This came shortly after he posted another video – his third since he revealed in the early hours of Friday that he had the virus.

And he had promised in the video clip “to pay a small surprise to some of the great patriots whom we went out to on the street.”

He also described his treatment as a “very enjoyable journey,” adding: “I learned a lot about COVID.

“I learned that by really going to school. This is the real school. This is not a“ let’s read books ”school. And I understand it, and I understand it. It’s a very interesting thing.”

It’s a shift for a president who has spent much of the pandemic downplaying the disease and even mocking those in masks in an effort to protect themselves and those around them.

The number of people who have died from the virus in the UK is approaching 210,000 and the number of confirmed cases has passed 7.4 million.

Trump’s medical team said that if he improved, he might be allowed to continue his treatment at the White House starting Monday.
