US President attends first public event since being released from hospital four days ago • About 2,000 people were invited to the event, who will have to wear masks
For the first time since contracting the corona virus and after being released from the hospital where he was hospitalized, US President Donald Trump is speaking tonight (Saturday) at his first public event at the White House.
According to US media reports, Trump intends to talk about "law and order" as part of what the White House has defined as "quiet protest."

The president's speech, which will take place on Truman's White House balcony, comes about two weeks after Amy Connie Barrett's presentation of Trump's candidacy for the Supreme Court, an event that has become a mass "contagion party."
The event took place in the Rose Garden at the White House, and was also attended by Trump's wife, Melania, senators and advisers - many of whom were infected with the virus.
According to US media reports, about 2,000 people were invited to attend the event. All participants will have to fill out a short questionnaire, whose body temperature will be checked and also put on a mask on their faces - in contrast to Barrett's presentation event, where many participants did not wear masks. Trump is expected to attend an election rally the next day at Sanford International Airport in Orlando, Florida, which is expected to be attended by thousands of people.
