One person wrote:
Get well soon POTUS!
Another said:
Hope you and Melania have a speedy recovery!
Just hours after news emerged of Trump’s diagnosis, news reports came out claiming the president was ‘fatigued’.
As speculation continues to rise about the president’s condition, the White House released a series of photos claiming to show Trump busy at work.
But eagle eyed journalists and Twitter users noticed that the photos actually show Trump merely signing his own name on a blank piece of paper.
Maybe the pics of President Trump working weren’t faked. In fairness, he seems like a guy who would spend his “working” time writing and admiring his own name on a blank sheet of paper. https://t.co/sbcJtsD3Mv

Another White House correspondent did some digging into the photos and realised they were taken just ten minutes apart – debunking the notion that they show the president working through the night.
Now Trump’s doctor has given the latest update about his condition and claims the president is doing ‘very well’.
He also explained that Trump had spent his first night back in the White House resting.
Dr Conley said Trump is extremely well and that his vital signs are all stable.
Good news for the president I guess
