He famously played down the virus afterwards, admitting he regretted the deaths, but “people die every day from lots of things, and that’s life.”
Mr Trump’s approach rings many of the same bells, as he urged Americans not to fret about the virus.
The President left hospital yesterday after just 72 hours of care, claiming he felt 20 years younger.
