However, his Chief of Staff on Saturday assured that the President is now doing very well."He's made unbelievable improvements from yesterday morning, when I know a number of us, the doctor and I, were very concerned," Meadows said.

The statement had to be issued after a White House source was quoted by the local media stating that"the president's vitals over the last 24 hours were very concerning."

This was in direct contradiction toTrump'svideo messages, tweets and his doctor's reports — all of which claimed thatTrumpwas doing "very well".

Meadows cleared that the President's blood oxygen level had decreased earlier which had raised concern, but he is much better now."Yesterday morning, we were real concerned... he had a fever and his blood oxygen level had dropped rapidly," he told a local news channel.

Talking about the rumours aboutthe Vice-President taking over ifTrump'shealth gets worse, Meadows said"there was never a consideration and never even a risk of a transition of power."

He supportedWhite House doctor Sean Conley's nightly update and said he washe was "very, very optimistic, based on the current results."
