"I may need to see you, doctor," the president told Chris Stansbury, whom the White House identified as the co-founder of West Virginia Eye Consultants.
Mr Trump assured Mr Stansbury, who wore a white laboratory coat as he praised the president for signing two massive coronavirus relief bills that contained billions in monies for loans to small businesses to deal with the Covid-19 outbreak.
