(ANSA) - WASHINGTON, JUNE 21 - The hoped-for crowd was not waiting for him and Donald Trump's first election rally after the pandemic closures was in fact 'halved'.
Canceled a greeting speech that should have been given outside the arena in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the president spoke to the few supporters present inside calling them "warriors" for having defied the pandemic. He said he saved 'hundreds of lives' thanks to the tests, which he now wants to slow down. Irony about the origin of the virus he calls 'Kungflu', alluding to a hypothetical Chinese strain. Finally he denied having any health problems. The speech also gave a hint to Italy, referring to the anti-racist protests: "They are targeting the statues of Christopher Columbus. Instead, I tell you that I love Italy and I say thanks to the Italian people, we are very proud".
