President Trump surprised supporters gathered outside the Walter Reed Medical Facility by going out for a short drive to wave and give thanks. This constituted one more public appearance than his rival Joe Biden made Sunday.
Trump announced the surprise visit moments before on Twitter:

The President also thanked doctors and nurses, noting that “I learned a lot about Covid. I learned it by really going to school. This is the real school. This isn’t the let’s-read-the-books school. And I get it, and I understand it and it’s a very interesting thing.”
The President then took to the streets in his motorcade:
Wait was there a Biden lid today??
