The rally follows a chaotic week in Washington, precipitated by Attorney General Bill Barr's letter to Congress on the special counsel's report. Trump and the White House have touted Barr's summary as a political victory, claiming that the report exonerated him entirely.
Those around the President expect him to turn the findings of the Mueller investigation -- at least those revealed in Barr's letter -- into a political cudgel that he will use to ramp up his rhetoric assailing Democrats and the media to new heights. The campaign is also already fundraising off of the findings outlined in the summary.
Trump has focused on a variety of topics as he heads into campaign mode, including immigration and health care.
On Monday night, the Justice Department reversed its approach on court action on the Affordable Care Act, saying in a filing with a federal appeals court that former President Barack Obama's signature domestic legislation should be entirely struck down.
Though Republicans haven't presented a clear, viable alternative to Obamacare, Trump on Tuesday touted his administration's push to make health care the center of the national political debate.
"The Republican Party will soon be known as the party of health care," he told reporters ahead of a meeting with Republican senators.
On Thursday morning, he turned to immigration, tweeting: "Mexico is doing NOTHING to help stop the flow of illegal immigrants to our Country. They are all talk and no action. Likewise, Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador have taken our money for years, and do Nothing. The Dems don't care, such BAD laws. May close the Southern Border!"
Hours later, his Department of Homeland Security secretary tweeted her gratitude to the Central American countries for their assistance.
"I would like to extend my profound gratitude to our Central American allies Honduras, Guatemala & El Salvador -- as well as @usembassyhn and @USAmbHonduras -- for their commitment to our common cause of secure borders & more orderly migration flows," DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen tweeted.
