Trump gives update on wounded National Guard member Andrew Wolfe during speech

President Donald Trump said Tuesday evening that West Virginia National Guard Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, who was seriously injured in an ambush-like shooting the day before Thanksgiving in Washington, D.C., has begun to show incredible signs of recovery.

Speaking at an event in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, Trump told supporters he had remained in close contact with Wolfe’s family since the shooting that also killed 20-year-old National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom.

The president described Wolfe’s parents’ unwavering belief that their son would survive, even though doctors warned the chances were incredibly slim.

“The night he was hit so hard and the doctors gave him almost no chance, I called their hospital room and talked to her, and she said, of course, everything’s going to be okay,” Trump said. “Oh no, I tell you, he will. I pray, the whole country prays, sir. I tell you, don’t worry. He will be fine.” It’s the mother who speaks to me.”

“And the father is devastated,” he continued. “He’s an incredible guy too, both of them. And I went and invited them to the Oval Office, and they came in.”

Trump said Wolfe’s mother never hesitated.

“She said, ‘Sir, he’s fine.’ It was amazing, actually.”

Then, Trump shared an important medical update on Wolfe’s condition since he was rushed to intensive care.

“And today, Monica, she said, ‘We’re all praying,’ and I’m praying. And then she called and said, ‘Sir, he moved his finger today.’ It’s like three days later – “he moved his finger.”

And today I got a call that he got out of bed. Do you believe it? He stood up, he stood up,” Trump told the crowd.

“Now, he didn’t speak. He’s not ready for that yet. I mean, you got hit in the head, but he got up, and boy, they’re so happy.”

Trump praised the medical teams monitoring Wolfe. “It’s incredible. And the care they gave him – the hospital and the generals who were there, the military who were there – it’s incredible,” he said.
