Has Trump been seen leaving Walter Reed Hospital?

Do we know if he has been discharged? I'm reading reports that Trump hasn't been seen since he was admitted to Walter Reed. Is this true?

(I know his twitter account has been active and his spokesperson says he's fine. That's meaningless. I'm asking if he's been seen in person.)

Marie Yovanovich spoke volumes with her clothes.

The scarf she wore when she testified was a classic Hermes with a pattern of swords, eagles and flags. She also wore a big sparkly American flag pin.

Like female diplomats and politicians before her, Yovanovich used her clothes to send a message. This is a message that will resonate with upper income Republican women. They wear Hermes scarves. The message is - I'm one of you. Listen to what I'm saying.

Very clever. I went looking for an article about this because I knew others would have noticed this. Sure enough: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2019/11/15/marie-yovanovitchs-eagles-sabers-glittering-flag-spoke-before-her-testimony-began/%3foutputType=amp
