President Donald Trump made his first public appearance since being discharged from Walter Reed Medical Center after testing positive for Covid-19, and adressed hundreds of supporters from the White House balcony.
At the planned ‘law and order’ protest, Trump briefly delivered updates on his health after his three night hospital stay, and then quickly moved into his usual political rhythms, referring to Covid-19 as the “China virus” and slamming opponents Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
“Sleepy Joe Biden has betrayed black and latino Americans,” Trump said when talking about race and minority Americans leaving the Democratic Party, which, according to the president, has delivered nothing but “calamity” in inner cities across the country.
The outdoor rally on the White House South Lawn was organized by BLEXIT, a movement co-founded by conservative author Candace Owens that encourages black Americans to abandon their support for the Democratic Party.
