Social Media Focuses on Video of Donald Trump 'Gasping for Air' After Leaving Hospital
President Donald Trump may have been discharged from the hospital, but not everyone is convinced [...]
As a physician & lifelong asthmatic this makes me physically uncomfortable to watch. Using accessory muscles to breathe is painful & terrifying. Your jaw hurts from clenching. Shoulders & ribs from working to breathe.
He needs to be resting, not staging photo ops. #GaspingForAir pic.twitter.com/k6MfVA2PJd

prevnextI say this earnestly. He looks like he is having severe trouble breathing. He is not well. And he is endangering the lives of others. Again. This is a huge miscalculation by Trump and this could end very badly. https://t.co/JjvwVvsI0Y

prevnextI watched the video of Trump on the balcony.
Here is what I saw:
-Extra-respiratory muscles to breathe.
-Visible chest wall rise.
-Open mouth breathing at times.
-Rapid shallow breaths at roughly 25-30 breaths per minute. More than twice normal.This is respiratory distress.

After arriving at the White House, Trump immediately removed his mask and readied himself for a propaganda video. He is now gasping for air. This does not look like a person who is breathing well. #TrumpIsNotWell

prevnextHe was gasping for air like a fish out of water, he is in real trouble. If he thinks breathing is difficult now, wait until he lies down #GaspingForAir pic.twitter.com/7OyBN3ETi2

Donald Trump pretending coronavirus is nothing to worry about, whilst struggling to breath and wincing in pain live on TV is some Black Mirror shit

I said this earlier, but ... I recognize this type of breathing. I have it when I'm experiencing asthma. It's like trying to breathe through a straw. To me, he also looks frightened and it IS frightening when you feel like you can't get enough oxygen. #TrumpCovid #GaspingForAir https://t.co/bMvXmQj8jE

Yikes on so many levels. Trump is contagious and obviously having difficulty breathing. He should not be going out at all. He is endangering the lives of people around him. 🤯 https://t.co/KoFXZYaYyD
