WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump made his first public appearance since returning to the White House after being treated for the novel coronavirus. The White House has refused to declare that he is no longer contagious, and the gathering of hundreds of people on the South Lawn went ahead despite the guidance of public health officials. Trump delivered an address on his support for law enforcement from the Blue Room balcony to a friendly crowd. The president wore a mask as he walked up for the speech but took it off to make his remarks. He received an enthusiastic response from his supporters.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is looking to get his campaign back on track, a week after he was sidelined with the coronavirus, which has killed more than 210,000 Americans. As questions linger about his health, he will hold an event at the White House on Saturday and what he calls a “BIG RALLY” in Sanford, Florida, on Monday. Trump on Friday held what his campaign billed as a “radio rally” as he dialed in to the show of conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh. Despite public and private surveys showing him trailing Democrat Joe Biden, Trump predicted a greater victory in 2020 than he had four years ago.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is eager to get back on the campaign trail. He insists he is ready to resume campaign rallies and feels “perfect” one week after his diagnosis with the coronavirus that has killed more than 210,000 Americans. His doctor says the president has ”completed his course of therapy” for the disease. Trump has not been seen in public — other than in White House-produced videos — since his Monday return from the military hospital where he received experimental treatments for the virus. His physician, Navy Cmdr. Sean Conley, says Trump will be able to safely “return to public engagements” on Saturday.
