在白宫和总统的医务人员提供了几轮令人困惑和矛盾的信息后，围绕唐纳德·特朗普总统在新冠肺炎的诊断和病情的神秘周六加深了。
在不断的事态发展中，消息人士告诉美国广播公司新闻，仍在住院的特朗普接受了补充氧气，并出现呼吸急促，这可能令人担忧，似乎与特朗普医生更乐观的说法以及他在推特和其他地方表现良好的评估相矛盾。
周六，特朗普的医生在马里兰州贝塞斯达的沃尔特·里德医疗中心外发表讲话时，没有就总统在检测呈阳性后是否接受了氧气治疗发表明确的声明。
不久后，一位“熟悉总统健康状况的消息人士”告诉媒体，特朗普“过去24小时的生命体征非常令人担忧，未来48小时对他的护理至关重要。”
白宫缺乏透明度和清晰度导致了围绕上周事件的令人不安的模式，包括通过媒体泄露了解霍普·希克斯的诊断，因为美国在选举前一个月面临潜在的治理危机。
许多问题仍然存在，包括在总统一周的事件后，有多少政府最高层的人被曝光，在这些事件中，社交距离和戴口罩都很宽松，以及白宫和其他地方的测试工作的完整性。
自特朗普宣布患有冠状病毒以来，参议员李政颖、参议员托姆·提利斯、参议员罗恩·约翰逊、共和党全国委员会主席罗纳·麦克丹尼尔、特朗普竞选经理比尔·斯捷潘、前新泽西州州长克里斯·克里斯蒂和前白宫顾问凯利安·康威宣布他们对新冠肺炎的检测呈阳性。
白宫发布特朗普工作的照片
白宫周六公布了两张特朗普在沃尔特·里德国家军事医疗中心医疗套房工作的照片。
其中一张展示了总统在会议桌前看文件，他白色礼服衬衫的最上面一颗扣子没有扣。另一张是他在总统套房签署文件的照片。

他的女儿伊万卡在推特上发了一张照片，写道，“没有什么能阻止他为美国人民工作。无情!”
特朗普的保镖测试呈阳性
知情人士今晚向美国广播公司新闻证实，现任椭圆形办公室主任兼特朗普总统贴身男仆尼克·卢娜(Nick Luna)的冠状病毒检测呈阳性。
无论总统去哪里，卢娜都会和他一起旅行，有直接消息来源的人告诉美国广播公司新闻，卢娜本周的大部分旅行都和特朗普在一起，包括最近与总统和霍普·希克斯的旅行，他们后来在周三的COVID测试中呈阳性。周四，他没有去参加特朗普在新泽西州贝德明斯特的资金筹集活动。
卢娜的阳性测试可能有其他含义:他与另一名白宫助理结婚，这名助理碰巧是总统高级顾问兼女婿贾里德·库什纳的助理。

特朗普表现“非常好”，一直“非常担心”:梅多斯
周六晚上，白宫办公厅主任马克·梅多斯(Mark Meadows)和特朗普的儿子埃里克·特朗普(Eric Trump)都与福克斯新闻(Fox News)主持人让·皮罗(Jeanine Pirro)进行了交谈，称总统在经历了一些早期的担忧后正在好转。
“他做得非常好。事实上，基于目前的结果，我非常非常乐观，正如医生所说，他在接下来的48小时左右还没有脱离险境，”梅多斯告诉皮罗。“有了这种病毒的历史，我们知道这可能很难，但从昨天早上开始，他取得了令人难以置信的进步，当时我知道我和医生都非常担心。”
梅多斯说，总统现在没有发烧，他的氧气水平在周五早上“迅速下降”后是正常的。

2020年10月3日，在马里兰州贝塞斯达的沃尔特·里德国家军事医疗中心外，白宫办公厅主任马克·梅多斯(Mark Meadows)在媒体吹风会上介绍了唐纳德·特朗普总统的健康状况，随后拍了拍白宫医生肖恩·康利(Sean Conley)医生的后背。
埃里克·特朗普(Eric Trump)表示，他周六与父亲通了大约“20至25分钟”的电话，并表示，“老实说，他听起来不可思议。”特朗普的第二个小儿子也表示，他很担心看到他的父亲去沃尔特·里德医疗中心，他说这“可能是一段我不会忘记的记忆。”
埃里克证实，他的父亲与参议院多数党领袖米奇·麦康奈尔讨论了COVID救济法案——总统周六也在推特上谈到了这一点——并为该法案筹集资金苦苦挣扎的航空业。
消息人士称，特朗普对沃尔特·里德感到“厌烦”
根据一份备忘录，特朗普总统周六完成了第二剂remdesivir，但仍然不需要补充氧气。消息人士告诉美国广播公司新闻，总统下午在沃尔特·里德医疗中心与助手通电话，完成一些工作。
肖恩·康利医生的备忘录说:“他花了一下午的大部分时间处理业务，并毫无困难地在医疗室走动。”"尽管尚未脱离险境，该团队仍保持谨慎乐观。"
一位今天下午和总统在一起的消息人士说，他们鼓励他休息，并补充说他将继续受到密切监视。周六晚上，多位消息人士告诉美国广播公司新闻，周五“很可怕”，并补充说他们担心特朗普。当天早些时候，消息人士告诉美国广播公司新闻，特朗普呼吸困难，周五在白宫接受了补充氧气，此前他的氧气水平下降。
据消息人士称，特朗普本人想带一台相机来分享他的表现。总统在周五晚上拍摄了一段4分钟的视频，并在白天发了两次推特——一次是感谢他的医生和护士，另一次是提到完成“刺激”，显然是指他的政府之间的分歧和众议院议长南希·佩洛西就一项拨款法案进行了讨论。
消息人士称特朗普“无聊”，并表示他想尽快离开医院，但正如此前报道的那样，预计将在沃尔特·里德医院呆几天。
白宫办公厅主任马克·梅多斯预计将再次在沃尔特·里德医院过夜。
Trump COVID-19 live updates: President 'bored' at hospital, not 'out of the woods'
The mystery surrounding the President Donald Trump's COVID-19 diagnosis and condition deepened Saturday after several rounds of confusing and contradictory information from the White House and the president's medical staff.
Amid the swirl of developments, sources told ABC News that Trump, who remains hospitalized, had been given supplemental oxygen and experienced shortness of breath, a potentially worrisome picture that appeared to contradict both the rosier statements from Trump's doctor and assessments that he was doing well both on Twitter and elsewhere.
Speaking outside Walter Reed Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, on Saturday, Trump's physician would not offer a clear, declarative statement about whether the president had received oxygen treatment since testing positive.
The press pool was told soon after by a "source familiar with the president's health" that Trump's "vitals over last 24 hours were very concerning and the next 48 hours will be critical in terms of his care."
The lack of transparency and clarity from the White House contributed to a troubling pattern surrounding the events of the last week, including learning of Hope Hicks' diagnosis by a media leak, as the U.S. faces a potential crisis of governance just a month before the election.
Numerous questions remained including how many people at the highest levels of government had been exposed after a week of events involving the president where social distancing and mask-wearing were lax and the integrity of the testing efforts at the White House and elsewhere.
Since Trump announced he had coronavirus, Sen. Mike Lee, Sen. Thom Tillis, Sen. Ron Johnson, Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel, Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former White House adviser Kellyanne Conway have announced they tested positive for COVID-19.
White House releases photos of Trump working
The White House released two photos of Trump working while in his medical suite at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Saturday.
One showed the president looking at papers at a conference table, with the top button of his white dress shirt unbuttoned. The other shows him signing papers in the Presidential Suite.
In this image released by the White House, President Donald Trump works in the Presidential Suite at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. Saturday, Oct. 3, 2020, after testing positive for COVID-19.
His daughter, Ivanka, tweeted one of the photos, writing, "Nothing can stop him from working for the American people. RELENTLESS!"
Bodyman for Trump tests positive
Nick Luna, the current director of Oval Office Operations and bodyman to President Trump has tested positive for the coronavirus, sources familiar with the matter confirmed to ABC News tonight.
Luna travels with the president pretty much wherever he goes and sources with direct knowledge tell ABC News that Luna was with Trump on most of his travels this week, including most recently a trip with the president and Hope Hicks, who later tested positive for COVID, on Wednesday.He did not travel to Trump's fundraiser in Bedminster, New Jersey, on Thursday.
Luna's positive test could have other implications: He is married to another White House aide who happens to be an assistant to Jared Kushner, the president's senior advisor and son-in-law.
Trump doing 'extremely well,' had been 'very concerned': Meadows
White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and Trump's son, Eric Trump, both spoke with Fox News host Jeanine Pirro on Saturday night, saying the president was improving after some early concern.
"He's doing extremely well. In fact, I'm very, very optimistic based on the current results and as the doctor said he's not out of the woods for the next 48 hours or so," Meadows told Pirro. "With the history of this virus, we know it can be tough, but he's made unbelievable improvements from yesterday morning when I know a number of us -- the doctor and I -- were very concerned."
Meadows said the president doesn't have a fever now and his oxygen levels are normal after they "dropped rapidly" on Friday morning.
White House chief of staff Mark Meadows pats U.S. Navy Cmdr. Dr. Sean Conley, the White House physician, on the back following a media briefing about President Donald Trump's health outside Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., Oct. 3, 2020.
Eric Trump said he spent about "20 to 25 minutes" on the phone with his father on Saturday and said, "he sounded incredible, honestly." Trump's second-youngest son also said he was concerned watching his father take off for Walter Reed Medical Center, saying it was "probably a memory I won't forget."
Eric confirmed his father spoke to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell about the COVID relief bill -- something the president also tweeted about Saturday -- and getting money for thestruggling airline industry.
Trump 'bored' at Walter Reed, sources say
President Trump completed a second dose of remdesivir on Saturday and still did not require supplemental oxygen, according to a memorandum. The president spent the afternoon at Walter Reed Medical Center on the phone speaking to aides and getting some work done, sources told ABC News.
"He spent most of the afternoon conducting business, and has been up and moving about the medical suite without difficulty," the memorandum from Dr. Sean Conley said. "While not yet out of the woods, the team remains cautiously optimistic."
One source who spent time with the president this afternoon said they are encouraging him to rest and added he continues to be monitored closely.Multiple sources told ABC News on Saturday night that Friday was "scary," and added they were concerned about Trump. Sources told ABC News earlier in the day that Trump was having trouble breathing and received supplemental oxygen on Friday at the White House after his oxygen levels dropped.
Trump himself, according to sources, wanted to bring in a camera to share how he was doing.The president filmed a four-minute video on Friday night and tweeted twice during the day -- once thanking his doctors and nurses and another referring to getting "stimulus" done, an apparent reference todisagreements between his administrationand House Speak Nancy Pelosi over a funding bill.
Sourcesdescribed Trump as "bored" and said he wanted to leave the hospital as soon as possible, but as previously reported is expected to remain at Walter Reed for a few days.
White House chief of staff Mark Meadows is once again expected to spend the night at Walter Reed.
