Here come the white coats to try again.
“Two episodes of transient drops” in Trump’s oxygen sats.
Conley is now admitting to giving the President supplemental oxygen, something he adamantly refused to do yesterday.
They started treating Trump with Dexamethasone yesterday, Garibaldi says, because of low oxygenation. Conley days the second episode was yesterday morning (so presumably they knew about it but didn’t say at the last presser).

This is a stunning quote. publicpool.kinja.com/subject-in-tow… Image
That’s the White House communications shop saying on the record that the doctors’ on-camera briefing to the American people presented a false picture of his health to boost his mood, but the WH COS leaked the truth anonymously to reporters afterward to provide “transparency.”

I’m trying to puzzle out how the Meadows story plays into it. One theory: Trump and his COS were at odds over what message to give to the public, Conley chose the President’s implausible sunnier version, and Meadows leaked a darker one.
A more peculiar theory I guess is that Meadows released a second message undercutting the doctors somehow with Trump’s approval. Both would be staggering stories.
Meadows as Chief of Staff to a frail, hospitalized president could presumably prevent a misleading press conference from going forward outside. He could certainly have stepped up to the mics himself to say these things. Is he just a chaos agent? https://t.co/kXA3taDhc1

??!! It wasn’t Conley who said the 48 hours part. It was another physician. This is so weird.
Dr. Brian Garibaldi is the fellow’s name. npr.org/sections/lates…
Also, as indicated in the NPR story, Garibaldi’s “48 hours ago” was counting backwards from the current time, not forward from the diagnosis, so even leaving aside that Conley’s memo incorrectly attributed the statement to himself, the “day 2” explanation doesn’t make any sense.

A feature of Trump’s presidency is he’s been able to torque everyone in proximity to him to tell transparent lies. The point of the lies is not necessarily that they be believed but that they demonstrate the authoritarian power that compels the subordinates to pronounce them.
This transparent lying has happened famously in the National Park Service’s estimation of crowd sizes at his inauguration, in the military, in the intelligence community, at the Justice Department, at State, at NOAA weather forecasting centers, etc.
It also happened at the White House Medical Unit, where Dr. Ronny Jackson gave a patently BS account of the president’s health to the press in 2018 and Trump attempted to reward him with a cabinet post.
