"Pretty sure Trump boarded Marine One with a portable oxygen concentrator in his pocket with the nasal cannula going up his back, hidden in his hair and tucked under his mask. He is not as well as they say. Liar in chief," the tweet read. However, there is no confirmation regarding the matter.
Trump has always taken the pandemic lightly and he even joked about Joe Biden wearing a mask in April.
