He went on speaking for about 18 minutes, attacking Democrats while stressing “law and order,” a central theme of his reelection campaign.

A White House spokesperson said it was “an official event” not a campaign.

Saturday was the 10th day since Trump tested positive for COVID-19.

The president had completed his therapy and been medically cleared for public events but the White House won’t say when the last he tested negative.
