Trump holds campaign-style rally in Florida

Source: MSN/CBS News

After a week batting down a string of controversies, President Trump is holding his first post-inauguration campaign-style rally early Saturday evening at a Florida airport.

The president announced the campaign-style rally Wednesday via Twitter. Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, told reporters earlier this week that the event was run by the campaign.

The throwback to Mr. Trumps presidential campaign is being held at the Orlando-Melbourne International Airport, beginning around 5:20 p.m. ET.

4:30 p.m. ET Protesters demonstrating against President Trumps policies have also gathered around the Orlando-Melbourne International Airport.

Aside from dismantling programs that help the middle class, Trump has no concrete measures to help grow U.S. jobs, yet Trump decides to take time for an ego boost as part of his campaign for re-election, less than two months into his term.

My thought is that rather than directly protest the President's rally, which due to security, forces protesters out of sight, protesters should plan counter protests the day after like they did following the inauguration.

So, will Sean Spicer brag about a crowd in the millions?
