Has Trump been seen leaving Walter Reed Hospital?

Do we know if he has been discharged? I'm reading reports that Trump hasn't been seen since he was admitted to Walter Reed. Is this true?

(I know his twitter account has been active and his spokesperson says he's fine. That's meaningless. I'm asking if he's been seen in person.)

Assuming he's not dead and his corpse isn't being prepared for permanent display in a glass box à la Lenin, he's probably trying to talk Powell into lowering interest rates again.

....well just ask Nixon about that. What's really curious is, why is he meeting with the chairman of the Federal Reserve?

But nothing he, or any of his minions, say or tweet has an iota of credibility.

The only use he has for the military is as a background for one of his rallies or marching in his ego parade.

God forbid if he takes up Putin's invitation to view a Russian parade. He'll never be satisfied unless he can top it.

Doesn't matter what story the White House gives about this Walter Reed visit, most of us won't believe a word of it.

although he supposedly returned to the WH on Saturday (the WH schedule says he left Walter Reed at 5 p.m.) He had no public appearances on his schedule yesterday and has none today. The schedule for both days lists "in-house pool call time" at 9 a.m. Don't know if he was on either; he was apparently texting himself both days. At least this certainly sounds like the real Donnie.

Hypertensive crisis Saturday? Not surprising if enormous stress is making him ill. The criminal tricks that have always proven him a very superior being just winch the trap tighter.

Subject: In-town pool report #3


Motorcade is on the move from Walter Reed medical center at 5:03 pm. A photo pooler spotted POTUS departing the hospital moments earlier- shirt open, no tie.

Meanwhile, at the hospital parking lot we noticed that Press van #2 had a flat tire. So pool reporters crammed into press van #1 before leaving the medical center.

Also, in the video of him leaving he was without a tie, which seemed odd to me for Trump.
