The media is a disgrace. Technically the doctor didn’t have to tell them a damn thing due to HIPPA. Them trying to force out any personal medical info shows lack of respect and integrity.
Edit: I went over to r/politics (I feel ashamed for even going there). The megathread is everyone commenting how it’s confirmed that Trump was on oxygen per an anonymous source. Are these idiots for real?
They want it to look like the President's brain was deprived of oxygen which gave him permanent brain damage. Shit you not, I think that's what they're up to.
As a trained Public Information Officer, all I can say is that this doc did a horrible job of answering / deflecting the question. Repeatedly insisting that GEOTUS is not currently on oxygen only invites more questions about him being on it in the past. Watch his expression and intonation; you can tell he was trying to thread the needle. No big deal if GEOTUS was on oxygen; we see overpaid pro athlete soyboys sucking on oxygen on the sidelines every Sunday. If he was truly never on oxygen, just say it and leave out the qualifier phrasing.
But yes, the press really sucks. There were so many other questions they should have asked.
My guess is as soon as his test came back positive and he had a slight fever and fatigue, they immediately asked him to take some oxygen until they could do additional testing to determine the status of where he was at and until they could get some therapeutics ready.
There is absolutely zero downside to taking oxygen and some possible upside to it, so it would have been irresponsible for his doctors not to give it to him.
The media would however start a big deal about it because they're scum, so I think he just decided to lie about it in the end because there is no public benefit to saying that the president was on oxygen.

Agreed. Prophylactic oxygen therapy isn't a cause for concern. "Hey, you're feeling a bit weak? Let's give you a boost."
If his SPO2 levels were slightly low, it would help raise them. If they were very low, he was having trouble breathing, and required oxygen for comfort or survival, as a medical necessity, there would be cause for concern. It seems that was not the case.
If he required a ventilator? Well shit, then there'd be cause for panic.
Tbh it did look he was on oxygen when he walked to the chopper, you could see a tube. Apparently it's routine for med patients when they're in the air?
Anyway, there may have been a time they put an oxygen tube on him. I fail to see how that makes any difference as it’s such a common thing. Pure oxygen will give a boost to anyone at any time.
The scary thing here is, after reading the post by "Anonymous", I honestly can't be sure if it's a joke. It would not surprise me at all if some fake-news wingnut reporter (or LOTS of them!) have been doing exactly that.
Check out the video from earlier, this is only a slightly exaggerated version of what actually happened, weaving in Hillary calling to Evan for a factcheck during the 2016 debates
Close enough. Seriously it wasn't too far from this. It was absolutely ridiculous. Finally the doctors just walked away. It wasn't like "and that concludes..." they were like "fuck this shit" and left.
I just watched the presser (YouTube video has an hour and 9 minutes of nothing before the presser, very weird) and outside of the fact check this was basically the conversation excluding a few other reporters questions peppered in between
My take after watching the press conference is that some doctor put him on oxygen initially and then the team all got there they said, you're an idiot, he doesnt need to be on that.
How Trump has politicized oxygen: Mariette 58 uses oxygen every day, but says she is now getting strange looks from white supremacists while shopping at Target.
this is not journalism. this is activism. all of this is activism. the entire media is comprised of nothing but activists now. working for free. shilling for the globalists. bringing their own destruction with them. and they absolutely do not care.
To be fair the doctor seemed to be sidestepping if he was ever on it since he tested positive. He was only saying yesterday and today (not Thursday)
What seemed to happen is the doctor took it as "ever" and not as "since he got chinese covid" because when they came back to it the third time, he asked what day it was, and then clarified no, not on Thursday Friday or Saturday has he needed oxygen
Agreed. Answers were very precise in language, to his credit. GEOTUS was probably on supplemental oxygen at some point as a precautionary measure out of an abundance of caution. Doctor wisely knew if he admitted even that, he'd be throwing raw meat to the ravenous wolves. Smart man. Disgusting press hounds.
If he isn’t on Oxygen, why won’t he denounce white Supremacist’s?
“DOG WHISTLE!!!!!” 🐶🎶
White supremacists like White Supremacists?
HWYTE OXYGEN REEEEE
^^This
The media is a disgrace. Technically the doctor didn’t have to tell them a damn thing due to HIPPA. Them trying to force out any personal medical info shows lack of respect and integrity.
They're the media arm of the DNC so we shouldn't expect any better of them.
We'd like to reaffirm, he is not on oxygen, nor has he been on oxygen since he arrived yesterday afternoon.
No oxygen. No supplemental oxygen. Not yesterday and not today.
How much supplemental oxygen has Trump been given?
-There is supplemental oxygen in the hospital and Trump is currently in the hospital, correct?
-Yes
-So Trump is on supplemental oxygen! Confirmed!
LULZ!!!!!!!!!!!
Not in a box with a fox or hat with a cat
So he was on oxygen!
Edit: I went over to r/politics (I feel ashamed for even going there). The megathread is everyone commenting how it’s confirmed that Trump was on oxygen per an anonymous source. Are these idiots for real?
doctors head explodes
The whole hospital staff is now redpilled and voting for Trump. Thank you lamestream media!
Yep!
They want it to look like the President's brain was deprived of oxygen which gave him permanent brain damage. Shit you not, I think that's what they're up to.
^This and the 25th amendment
'Why is there a shortage of oxygen at Walter Reed!'
Is the White House now hording oxygen for the President? What else are they hording and hiding?
"wHeRe's tHe rIvEr kAyLeIgH?"
It's literally the white supremacy question, but with oxygen instead
Ted called it.
He is scheduled to be on 3 cups of dihydrogen monoxide sometime 2025, January 22nd or later.
"Orange Man will soon be on a regimen of a poisonous-sounding drug called dihydrogen monoxide! Will he step down and call off the erection?"
They're salivating at the thought that he might die.

The White House Press Corps have officially become the seagulls from Finding Nemo.
Tbh it did look he was on oxygen when he walked to the chopper, you could see a tube. Apparently it's routine for med patients when they're in the air?
Secret service wire.
Oxygen requires a pressurized tank.
Anyway, there may have been a time they put an oxygen tube on him. I fail to see how that makes any difference as it’s such a common thing. Pure oxygen will give a boost to anyone at any time.
pure oxygen is basically a drug
That's why they have oxygen bars in vegas.
KEK!
Oxygen is a colorless gas. Gasses of color are victims of systemic racism.
But I though we got rid of all colored gasses because people were screaming “racism”?
Karen Acosta - "Is the President wearing a mask?"
Is the president not breathing oxygen?
Well, he is breathing oxygen he just does not require to be put on-
So he's on oxygen?
The God Emperor only breathes noble gasses.

That was Brook Baldwin calling Evan for the fact check I think. Someone could make a lot of money doing a conservative Snopes called "Evan".
B Double-O B S?
The Proud Boys, how many liters of oxygen did they supply to the President?
None, but they are standing by with several bottles tho.
Is this a real exchange?
Close enough. Seriously it wasn't too far from this. It was absolutely ridiculous. Finally the doctors just walked away. It wasn't like "and that concludes..." they were like "fuck this shit" and left.
We've been at full honk for too long. We need to throttle back to at least half honk for everyone's well being.
I just watched the presser (YouTube video has an hour and 9 minutes of nothing before the presser, very weird) and outside of the fact check this was basically the conversation excluding a few other reporters questions peppered in between
The best part was when the Dr. had enough of their collective shit, he left.
Screw you guys, I'm going home!
Cleary, Trump supports carbon dioxide, and is denouncing oxygen -- which is literally in the air people of color breath each day.
. Has the President denounced carbon dioxide like he has oxygen?
For the record: the president smokes oxygen.?
You know who else breathed, HITLER!!
Truth: He's been using oxygen all his life!
So he WAS on oxygen, right? Come on, man! It was supplemental?
Where are Abbot and Costello when you need them!!
To be fair he did keep saying "right now" felt like he was trolling them.
My take after watching the press conference is that some doctor put him on oxygen initially and then the team all got there they said, you're an idiot, he doesnt need to be on that.
That bitch doesn’t deserve any more oxygen.
Hitler used oxygen too!
“How do you explain the oxygen in his bloodstream?”
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
Check the message pushing by word association: White Supremacy - Trump, Oxygen - Trump, etc.
Basic propaganda: repeat something over and over until rumor becomes cemented and part of people's beliefs.
'Do you administer oxygen to POC?
Never ceases to amaze me. I don't need to buy circus tickets. The clowns and buffoons are in the media.
FACT CHECK: "IS TRUMP ON OXYGEN?"
OUR VERDICT: PANTS-ON-FIRE FALSE
TRUMP BREATHES A GASEOUS MIXTURE OF 21% OXYGEN EVERY DAY.
Aren't we all on oxygen?
CNN: How Trump is Setting a Bad Example For Americans by Not Taking the Damn Oxygen
How Trump has politicized oxygen: Mariette 58 uses oxygen every day, but says she is now getting strange looks from white supremacists while shopping at Target.
Ok, ok... but was he on O2?
this is not journalism. this is activism. all of this is activism. the entire media is comprised of nothing but activists now. working for free. shilling for the globalists. bringing their own destruction with them. and they absolutely do not care.
Who gives a flying fuck. People go to "bars" for oxygen all the time.
To be fair the doctor seemed to be sidestepping if he was ever on it since he tested positive. He was only saying yesterday and today (not Thursday)
What seemed to happen is the doctor took it as "ever" and not as "since he got chinese covid" because when they came back to it the third time, he asked what day it was, and then clarified no, not on Thursday Friday or Saturday has he needed oxygen

Doctor wisely knew if he admitted even that, he'd be throwing raw meat to the ravenous wolves. Smart man. Disgusting press hounds.
Either that or he was only told he could discuss POTUS's medical stuff since the positive test so was trying to stay within HIPAA?
Good point.
Yea he did a great job. Guy was on point and made sure to look after GEOTUS and the optics of it all
NO OXYGEN EVER, NOT NOW NOT NEVER!
