On Saturday, Oct. 3, 2020 a group known as “Korean-American’s for Trump” gathered for a rally to support the President at the Wilshire & Western Metro Station in the Koreatown neighborhood of Los Angeles, Calif. The rally occurred less than 48 hours after the announcement that President Donald J. Trump tested positive for COVID-19.

Amidst a week of Democratic backlash in response to the Supreme Court nomination of Amy Coney Barrett, a decision that counters conservative arguments over nominee Merrick Garland in 2016, Trump landed in Walter Reed Hospital out of “an abundance of precaution.”

Whitehouse officials and the president’s doctors avoided questions on Trump’s condition throughout his stay. Rally members listened to speeches and music at the largely maskless event.
