In the clip shared to Twitter, Trump tells America that he’s “going to Walter Reed hospital” to “make sure things work out.” The president added, “I think I’m doing very well.”
“Warrior!!!” Eric Trump responded on Twitter.
Prior to Donald Trump leaving for Walter Reed, Eric Trump described his father as “a true warrior.”
“He will fight through this with the same strength and conviction that he uses to fight for America each and every day. I ask you to join me in praying for his recovery. I have never been more proud of someone and what they have had to endure,” he continued.
Warrior!!! https://t.co/Vj5ORRWUHb
