WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump says he’s planning to hold his first rally of the COVID-19 era next Friday in Tulsa, Oklahoma. And he says he’s planning more events in Florida, Texas and Arizona as well.

Trump made the announcement during a roundtable with African American supporters Wednesday afternoon that did not appear on his public schedule.
His signature rallies often draw tens of thousands of people but have been on hiatus since March 2 because of the coronavirus pandemic, which has now killed more than 110,000 people in the U.S.
Trump’s campaign has been planning to resume rallies as it tries to move past the pandemic, even as cases continue to rise in some parts of the country.
A Trump campaign spokesperson tweeted a movie trailer-style video earlier Wednesday that advertised: “This month we’re back.”

Thank you mr president! The message is loud and clear. Our country is reopend for business. If we can rally and not social distance for Geroge Floyd why not for this country and our president? And guess what our country has not seen looting, plunder and murder after Trump rallys like we see after other protests. Trump rallies are safer
Exciting__ It’s been awhile. Give ’em heck Mr. President.
We love you. KAGA.
114,000 deaths already. Valid predictions of another 100,000 dead by Rosh HaShana. His covid-task farce is dead. He does not care about YOU. 21 states have highest increases of infection. Have a nice Nurenburg rally…
What Nurenberg rally ??
My beloved NY Times never printed that news.
What’s a Nurenberg?
Vindman yes , but Nurenberg ?
And Arizona says it’s out of supplies. And Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Florida and the Carolinas are headed into hurricane season. I’ll stick with New York.
