Trump leaves hospital room to wave at supporters outside from motorcade

President Trump on Sunday greeted supporters outside Walter Reed Medical Center from his motorcade, leaving his hospital suite to make a "surprise" visit despite undergoing treatment for coronavirus.
The president Sunday evening tweeted a video in which he said he planned to go say hello to the dozens of supporters who had gathered across the street from the hospital, waving flags.
Moments later, video emerged of the president's motorcade passing by, with a masked Trump visible waving from the backseat. The decision triggered immediate safety concerns – and outrage – as the president is infected with a highly contagious virus that has killed more than 205,000 Americans.
Two Secret Service agents could be seen in the vehicle with him. Both were wearing masks.
