WASHINGTON,   (Xinhua) -- U.S. President  Donald  Trump made his first public appearance at the White House on Saturday since he returned from hospitalization for COVID-19.

"I am feeling great," Trump told hundreds of supporters from the Truman Balcony, which overlooks the South Lawn.

He went on speaking for about 18 minutes, attacking Democrats while stressing "law and order," a central theme of his reelection campaign.

A   White House   spokesperson   said   it   was    "an official event"   not    a      campaign.

Saturday    was   the   10th   day     since    Trump   tested     positive    for      COVID-19.

The president had completed his therapy and been medically cleared for public events but the White House won't say when the last he tested negative.  ■
