Donald Trump was seen signing, what seemed like, a blank piece of paper during his stay at the hospital in pictures shared by the White House.The White House released pictures of President Donald Trump working in his suite at the Walter Reed Military Hospital to show the President working hard while fighting the coronavirus. Trump was taken to the hospital after he tested positive for Covid-29. However, many reports pointed out that the photos were most likely staged as the President was seen signing on a blank piece of paper under a zoomed-in version of the picture. Jon Ostrower, the editor-in-chief of an aviation publication, also took to Twitter to note that the data embedded in two pictures of the President were taken just 10 minutes apart, even though they show the President working at two different locations.
A White House official told Newsweek that, "President Trump signed about 10 documents yesterday. We published 2 proclamations last night."
In another statement, later that evening, a senior administration official added, "The documents were not blank. In the photograph, the documents were overexposed because the photographer was exposing for the President's face, rather than the paper."
