The White House has refused to declare that he is no longer contagious, and the gathering of hundreds of people on the South Lawn goes ahead despite the guidance of public health officials.
Trump delivers an address on his support for law enforcement from Blue Room balcony to a friendly crowd. The president wears a mask as he walks for the speech but takes it off to make his remarks. He receives an enthusiastic response from his supporters.
“I’m feeling great,” says Trump, who says he is thankful for their good wishes and prayers as he recovers.
Trump is also priming for a Florida rally on Monday.
