Honestly what is the point in this - how in any way does this build any faith in what they are saying?
Tbh since he is the president and you can decline quickly with Covid (especially someone with his risk factors) I could understand them moving him just to be cautious.In my partially informed, but ultimately useless opinion, a 74 (?) obese man with covid, who had to be airlifted, (not ambulance) to a hospital, would have been on oxygen as a matter of course.
They would have set a sat number, say 96, and if he could support that without oxygen, quite simply, he would still be self isolating in the WH.
And even then, you can quite easily measure a sat level, and provide oxygen, in a domestic environment. I have done ffs.

It is the inability to tell the truth about any of it I find infuriating, especially as think it counterproductive and makes it look like he is in a bad condition.

I wouldn’t be entirely surprised if they gave him a bit of oxygen/fluids purely so he could do a walk to the helicopter unaided for the pr purposes and wouldn’t even think it wrong - it is good to reassure the country that POTUS is OK!Oh sure. Totally get that.
But being on oxygen for a respiratory condition is usually the same as taking a paracetamol for a headache. Once off a vent, its pretty much for obs to ensure the sat level is maintained. And if you never needed a vent anyrate, its even less important as an indication of a poor condition.
So like you say, if they just explained that, then job done. Unless they are hiding sommet.

But all these “mis-spoke” and evasions just undermine the whole thing and breed conspiracy theories.
Yep. Thats the issue, BS everywhere.
If I had to guess it would be that Trump is feeling better with the drugs etc he has been given but some of his vitals are concerning the doctors however POTUS won’t let the doctors say that on camera because of his ego so Meadows is trying to set expectations a bit lower behind the scenes and their usual incompetence is adding an extra layer of confusion. But it could be any of a huge range of possibilities atm!Mad innit? Like although some on here reckoned Johnson had faked his covid stuff, (lol), it was all up front; oxygen, Johnson looking shabite, "is very unpleasant", that sort of narrative.
Very odd over there.
