Even before President Donald Trump underwent treatment at Walter Reed Medical Center following a positive test result for the virus that's killed over 200 thousand Americans, the President's health has alarmed many of his critics.
Whether it's the President's ill-advised diet or or his mysterious visit to Walter Reed last year, the President is by no means in exceptional health. The recently revealed non-disclosure agreements Walter Reed personnel were forced to sign by Trump last year aren't reassuring either.
That hasn't stopped him and his allies from making bizarrely outrageous claims about Trump's supposedly endless well of energy and mental fitness though.
Such was the case when Trump took part in a Fox Business interview on Thursday morning.
Watch below.
President Trump says that he is back already from the coronavirus because he is "a perfect physical specimen" and "extremely young."

When talking about his recovery from the virus, Trump said to Fox Business' Maria Bartiromo:
"I'm back because I am perfect physical specimen and I'm extremely young, and so I am lucky in that way."
For many, his claim was a reminder of a 2017Saturday Night Live sketch "Through Donald's Eyes" where Trump has a decidedly skewed self-image and altered view of the world.
For his most recent trip to Walter Reed, Trump underwent supplemental oxygen and a cocktail of heavy drugs, including dexamethasone, which the World Health Organization only recommends for those battling the worst symptoms of the virus.
Trump and his campaign have still refused to say when Trump last tested negative for the virus, leading some to speculate that he knew he was infected as far back as the chaotic in-person debate between him and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden—two days before he supposedly first tested positive.
People thought Trump's claim of perfection was absolutely delusional.
This claim alone should be grounds for invoking the 25th Amendment. https://t.co/plLddLXHcT pic.twitter.com/NOfGYrSaO1

A "perfect physical specimen" who can't even walk down a ramp like a healthy person and has to take a golf cart when other world leaders can easily walk. #TrumpIsNotWell #DelusionsOfGrandeur #Trump https://t.co/cr0GeykfPd pic.twitter.com/rckHhilTcn

Many of Trump's critics think he's sicker from the virus than he's letting on.
Ok, here's the reality:@POTUS is sick. He is taking drugs that could impact on his state-of-mind. And polls increasingly suggest that he is about to become the thing he can least abide: a loser.
Now it feels like he's careening out of control.https://t.co/72nDpqN2Ob

Ignore what the White House is saying. The situation is precarious, and it's far from over. You can be sure of three things:
Trump is sick
Trump will sicken others
Trump will relapse

At least the Hannity show last night proved why Trump had to cancel the debate.
Covid all had him so sick he would crash and burn.#StopTrumpsTerror
