“And today Monica said, ‘we’re all praying,’ and I’m praying too. Then she called and said, ‘Sir, he moved his finger today.’ That’s like three days later – ‘he moved his finger.’

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

“He couldn’t talk now. He’s not ready for this 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 it – the hospital, the generals that were there, the army that was there – it’s incredible,” he said.
