President Trump roared back onto the campaign trail Saturday night with a rally before thousands of supporters in Tulsa, Okla., using the fiery and freewheeling appearance to mock Democratic foe Joe Biden, criticize those tearing down monuments to controversial historical figures and decry what he described as the “disaster” demonstration in Seattle.
In advance of the Saturday event, Trump supporters had been lining up for days to secure their seat in an arena that holds just under 20,000, and the Trump campaign touted Monday receiving over 1 million ticket requests.
"Think how important it is... It's almost like we're a minority court," Trump said, referencing two rulings that went against the positions his administration took this week. "That's enough, I wanted to tell that story, does everybody understand that story?" the president concluded.Trump also targeted China over trade concerns and the coronavirus. He said that his trade efforts helped American farmers and at one point called the coronavirus the "Kung Flu."
With states reopening after historic economic lockdowns, the rally still raised concerns that it could be a "super spreader" event, especially as six members of the Trump reelection campaign tested positive for the coronavirus ahead of the event.
