[Asia Economy New York=Correspondent Baek Jong-min] U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed his intention to possibly attend a protest scheduled for the 14th, expected to draw around one million participants.
On the 13th (local time), President Trump tweeted, "I am glad to see all this tremendous support," adding, "Especially the large rally in Washington DC on Saturday, as well as the spontaneous gatherings happening nationwide."
He further mentioned, "I might stop by to say hello."
Since his election defeat, President Trump has avoided public appearances except for golf, but his potential attendance at the protest suggests a greater likelihood of public engagement with his supporters.
Earlier in October, while receiving treatment for COVID-19 infection, President Trump had shown his presence by riding in a car outside the hospital to demonstrate his well-being to supporters.
Trump supporters have announced plans to hold a large rally in Washington DC on Saturday the 14th, predicting a turnout of one million people.
White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, in an interview with Fox News the previous day, said she did not know the exact number of participants but expected "a pretty large scale."
