When does a President quite having rallies, or at least slow down.

This reminds me of when things went bad in Animal House, what did they do? Take a road trip, but the term rallies really disturb me when someone like Trump use it and often......

9. Airport rallies discourage protesters and are easy to control

I witnessed it during a dumpy Trump rally in Sacramento during the campaign. They can easily control and screen the crowd entering through the service gates a quarter mile from (I assume) the hanger they will use. Protesters were kept outside the fence, out of shouting range from the participants of the rally. This chickenshit orange anus is sneaky, that way

Chump is hated throughout the world except in Russia. He will love those crowds! I see him making a state visit to get the adulation within 6 months minimum. Just enough time for the Russia thing to die down in the media.
