Hi.

I was chatting with an American friend. I mentioned Donald Trump and I said "I hope that he will feel better soon".

I wonder if my italic sentence is natural.

We use contractions a lot and omit relative pronouns whenever appropriate.

I hope he'll feel better soon.

Got it! I wonder if I can say "I hope he's getting better soon".

In addition to Rover's and Piscean's comments, the "that" in post #1 is a conjunction.

You'll also hear "I hope [that] he's feeling better soon".

He should have checked out of the hospital by now, so he is, apparently, doing quite well.
