Trump holds fiery rally but crowd disappoints

US President Donald Trump returned Saturday to one of his favorite spots -- a campaign rally stage -- defying the pandemic and attacking Democratic rivals at an event with crowds far smaller than promised. Gathering his political faithful for a much-hyped rally in Oklahoma, his first in three months, the Republican president sought to reinvigorate his flagging campaign in the face of a crushing health and economic crisis as well as protests against racial injustice that have swept the nation in recent weeks. Trump all but claimed victory over the pandemic that has killed some 120,000 Americans -- "I have done a phenomenal job with it!" he insisted -- even as six members of his own Tulsa advance team tested positive for COVID-19.
