My brain is struggling to resolve all the contradictions here. We know Trump actually knew how dangerous the virus is back at the beginning, but repeatedly lied about it. A lot of these folks probably fit into that camp too. So do they just think they're invincible or that being Important People somehow magically protects them from tiny death machines or what?

Oxygen concentrators are bulky things, even Trump's weird suits couldn't conceal them, and there's no way that thin little line (probably just a hair) is oxygen tubing. This is just liberal Qanon stuff.

e: For reference the smallest commercially available one is the size of two hardback books.

For travel, they’d just use a bottle, but those are also deeply unpocketable.

That's even bulkier and heavier than the thing I posted. Unless they've cracked James Bond technology and can package a usable amount of oxygen and a regulator into something the size of a nitrous canister, the very smallest oxygen cylinders are still around the size and weight of a household fire extinguisher - i.e. something you could only hide under a muumuu without it being blatantly obvious, certainly not a suit already full of Trump.

The clear lack of any transparency about any of this is going to be a major issue. Until there is some definite verifiable proof of his condition that's pretty much all the media can talk about. It's 2020, things are hosed up and people would very much like them not be, and for things to start going back to normal, just chucking even more uncertain in there right now going to be the real killer.

Like just everything about this is demonstrating what a mess this administration is. Jesus could they of handled this any worse.

That's doesn't look the size of a fire extinguisher though, looks more like a Sodastream bottle size.

Like I say, that's probably about as small as something can be to give a usable amount of oxygen, and it's gonna cause more than a slight crease in a pocket.

*Household* fire extinguisher, so about 20cms tall by 10 wide. A Sodastream bottle (which is at much, much lower pressure than an oxygen tank) is still around that size and still something that you can't easily conceal.
