The White House wants to give the appearance that Trump is hard at work, despite being hospitalized for coronavirus.
The White House is receiving the side-eye after the Trump administration released a photo on Saturday showing a hospitalized President Donald Trump signing his name with a marker to an apparently blank piece of paper.
The administration released photos showing the former reality TV star, who has been at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center outside of the nation’s capital since Friday, hard at work from the hospital’s presidential suite, which is equipped to allow him to continue his official duties.
Ivanka Trump, the president’s senior aide, shared one of the images on her Twitter page, saying:
“Nothing can stop him from working for the American people. RELENTLESS!”
“Nothing can stop him from a staged photo op.”
TV personalityLea Blacksaid in a reaction to Ivanka Trump’s post.
Ostrower’s tweet prompted many wannabe sleuths on Twitter to conclude that the images had been staged by the White House, with several commenters mocking the president for simply signing a blank piece of paper using a black Sharpie.
