Donald Trump arrived in Tampa, Florida on Friday where he is participating in a private fundraising event and somehow managed to hold a mini-rally on a runway.
The president wasted little time in Florida and launched into an impromptu set on the tarmac which reportedly lasted for 30 minutes. According to the Tampa Bay Times, Trump warned supporters of what will happen should Joe Biden win November's election, which has dominated his rhetoric in recent weeks.
Trump's team were clearly expecting a big turn out for president otherwise he wouldn't have given a speech and there wouldn't have been the number of security barriers put in place, because only a dozen or so supporters actually showed up to see Air Force One touchdown in the Sunshine State, as these pictures show.
