Of course, he was peppered with questions by reporters on hand -- who asked how he was feeling, and whether he thought Kamala Harris could beat Donald Trump. He replied with an inaudible answer and then went up the big stairs to get on the airplane. We'll see him in D.C. soon.

Donald Trump Downgrading His Wound Dressing ... Ditches Huge Bandage in Michigan
Donald Trump's clearly recovering quickly ... 'cause his bandages are getting a heck of a lot smaller -- trading in the big white gauze for a tiny skin-colored band-aid.
The leading Republican candidate took the stage for his Grand Rapids, Michigan rally just moments ago ... and, while many expected to see the eye-catching bandage covering his bullet wound, 45 switched it up with just a small band-aid.
The bandage -- which a ton of people at the RNC wore in solidarity with their candidate -- is nowhere to be found ... while the new one blends in well with Trump's skin from a distance.

President Biden is currently fighting this third bout with COVID-19 -- and while some have speculated it'll mess with his brain power ... one doctor says that's likely not the case.
Here's the deal ... the 81-year-old POTUS was diagnosed with COVID again this week -- and in light of all the scrutiny about his mental acuity ... a fair amount of people have suggested JB could suffer "brain fog" and other symptoms that screw with one's ability to think clearly.
