For 4 years, President Trump has shown the American people that he is a fighter.
I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 P.M. 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!

Dr. Conley says Trump has met or exceeded all of Walter Reed's patient discharge criteria. Trump is not fully "out of the woods yet," he adds, but "the team and I…support the president's safe return home."

President Trump has fought for better trade deals, lower taxes for the middle class, and now, he is personally fighting back against the coronavirus.
Predictably, the media and left-wing talking heads hate this and have started firing off unhinged take after ridiculous take:

Declaring he’s “feeling really good!” “better that I did 20 years ago!” and urging “don’t be afraid of COVID,” Pres Trump makes it sound like getting the virus can be a worthwhile experience.
