KT McFarland, President Donald Trump’s former deputy national security adviser, believes that the president will be a more powerful leader after experiencing the CCP virus first hand.
McFarland described the United States’ experience of the pandemic and the president’s diagnosis, hospitalization, and discharge as a process of “creative destruction.”
“We go through these periods of creative destruction periodically throughout our history, and they always end up with a much better America. So as miserable as the country is right now, and nobody likes this, I think that the end results in a year or two or three will be pretty good,” she told The Epoch Times.
“It’s not something he has read in the book. He’s been to the school of Coronavirus,” she said. “It'll allow him to really speak with much more authority on what the country is going through ... He’s been briefed on all of the experimental treatments and protocols as well as the upcoming vaccines.”
“It will actually make him a far more powerful leader,” she added.
Trump was discharged from the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center Monday evening after his medical team found that he met all the criteria.
Trump and the first lady, Melania Trump, were diagnosed with the virus last week. Several others, including former Gov. Chris Christie, three GOP senators, and White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany were also diagnosed with the virus.
“He’s back,” White House physician Dr. Sean P. Conley said at a news conference earlier Monday. “The president has been a phenomenal patient since he has been here.”
“He has never pushed us beyond safe and reasonable practice,” he added.
Trump, 74, has not had a fever in more than 72 hours and his oxygen levels are normal, his medical team said in a briefing in front of the hospital.
“Don’t let it dominate your life,” Trump wrote. “We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!”
