I’m out of town this weekend, but apparently a bunch of Trump’s cult have descended on DC not wearing masks to protest logical outcomes of behavior.

Walter Reed Doctor to White House Staffer, “There’s been no brain wave activity for a substantial time. His heart cannot beat on its own.”

WHS, “Great, I call his limo and we’ll schedule a news conference.”

Doc, “I don’t think you understood what I said.”

WHS, "I did, situation normal and the campaign is back on. Woohoo!)

Well that same doctor said this:

"Conley, asked why he was so cagey on Sat, says he was trying to reflect the team’s “upbeat attitude” and didn’t want to “steer the course of illness in another direction.” “In doing so, it came off that we were trying to hide something, which wasn’t necessarily true.”

Odds that he’s being truthful are not great.
