President Trump’s slow motorcade ride Sunday evening around Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he is a COVID-19 patient, had “deterrence value” to adversaries like Russia, China, and North Korea, according to the National Interest security expert Harry Kazianis.

“My initial impression was probably a little bit of a shock,” Kazianis told the Washington Examiner Monday, adding that news Trump’s White House medical team approved the ride comforted him.
