President Donald Trump left Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Monday to return to the White House, where he will continue to be treated for the coronavirus even as he looks to restart his reelection campaign.

Trump, dressed in a dark suit and blue tie and wearing what appeared to be a surgical face mask, tapped a handrail as he descended the steps on his own outside the hospital. He took no questions from the gaggle of reporters waiting for him, but said "thank you very much" as he walked by. He then stepped into a black SUV, which drove him to his helicopter, Marine One.

Shortly before his departure, Trump said he planned to promptly return to the campaign trail, where he has less than a month left to fight for a second term in office. 

"Will be back on the Campaign Trail soon!!! The Fake News only shows the Fake Polls," Trump tweeted.
