President Donald Trump speaks at a Make America Great Again Rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma | FULL SPEECH

Описание: President Donald Trump made a defiant return to the campaign stage under a number of dark clouds looming over his presidency, seeking a reset in his reelection campaign even as the event itself was overshadowed by controversy.

Trump's 90-minute speech was heavy on the same grievances and boasts that have been a hallmark of his campaign style for years. But Saturday's rally came after a three-month hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic, which is still widespread around the country.

“I stand before you today to declare the silent majority is stronger than ever before," Trump told a boisterous crowd in Tulsa, Okla.

"Five months from now we’re going to defeat sleepy Joe Biden. Boy does he get a pass from these people,” he said, gesturing to press in the arena.

Trump attempted to paint Biden, the 77-year-old former vice president and long-time Delaware senator, as mentally declining and simultaneously beholden to more left-wing members of the Democratic Party while being a member of the Washington establishment.

"When the chips are down, Biden will always cave to the radical left," Trump said.

The rally took place amid a combination of national crises. The coronavirus pandemic has killed more than 120,000 people in the U.S. and has triggered an economic downturn. Protests have persisted for more than three weeks in response to the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who was killed by Minneapolis police, with demonstrators calling attention to police brutality and racial injustice.

The Trump administration created a fresh dilemma this weekend by forcing out one of the government's top prosecutors, Geoffrey Berman, who was investigating a number of the president's associates.
