Trump’s Covid-19 condition was so concerning that doctors considered putting him on a ventilator, source confirms cnn.com

Former U.S President, Donald Trump’s condition after testing positive for Covid-19 became so concerning last October that there was talk of putting him on a ventilator, according to what Trump told one person at the time.

The detail raises questions about whether the former President’s condition was worse than officials were willing to publicly acknowledge, a development first reported in detail by The New York Times on Thursday.

CNN reported in October that when Trump was flown to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, he not only had trouble breathing, but had received supplemental oxygen. Trump “definitely has had oxygen,” the source with knowledge told CNN.
