Some people waited all day in front of the Walter Reed Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland to see President Donald Trump and hope he would appear on a motorcade past them again like he did the previous day.

`I’m not disappointed not to be able to meet the President, because it also involves security issues,` said Jasmine Rochon, who drove nearly 200 km from Philadelphia to get here on October 5.

Trump boarded the Marine One helicopter to leave Walter Reed Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, amid cheers from hundreds of supporters on October 5.

For Andrew Roff, who was holding a large `Trump 2020` flag in his hand, the President’s departure from the hospital on the Marine One helicopter was symbolic.

`The image of the helicopter taking off is like a symbol of victory. He beat Covid-19, he’s back to work, he’s fine,` said Roff, 54, of the nearby city of Frederick.

Wearing red `Make America Great Again` baseball caps, Trump fans waited all day at the hospital’s main entrance, waving flags and singing songs often played at Trump rallies.

The crowd was then dispersed by police and regrouped on the other side of the road running through the hospital grounds.

Trump supporters cheered in front of Walter Reed Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, on October 5.

At first, about 20 people gathered, but the number grew to about 100 by mid-afternoon after Trump announced on Twitter that he would leave the hospital in the evening.

`I’m very happy, this is great news,` said Karen Sloan, 50, of Washington, not wearing a mask, holding a sign `Praying for the President, 4 more years.`

`That means he can get over that flu. He’s ironclad. The first thing he should do at the White House is give Melania a kiss and get back to work,` Sloan said.

A little further away, Mr. Sally Ashcroft, 72 years old, wants the President to `return to the election race` that he paused due to Covid-19, when there is only one month left until the November 3 vote.

Rochon, a Philadelphia resident, said Trump `should prove to the world that Covid-19 is not deadly,` even though the President is entitled to experimental treatments that have not been applied to ordinary Americans.

`We should go back to normal, reopen the world,` she said.
