Trump to hold campaign rally in Iowa next Wednesday

Source: MSN/The Hill

President Trump will hold a rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa next week, his campaign committee announced on Wednesday.

The rally will take place on Wednesday, June 1 and follows Trump's first visit abroad as president. The president returns to the U.S. on Sunday.

Trump last held a campaign rally in Harrisburg, Pa. on April 29, the same night as the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner in Washington, D.C.

"They would love to be with us right here tonight," Trump said of the press that night, adding his rally drew a "much larger crowd, and better people, too."

10. Yeah, but 3 more things:

1) Trump is feeling depressed because he is trapped in a job he doesn't like and he's lonely. He's tired of winning. He won't quit because he doesn't want to earn the tag "loser". So his staff / campaign committee schedule crowd rallies to lift his spirits.

2) He still thinks he can beat the TrumpRussia investigations.

3) His campaign committee are incorrigibly Trumpian and simply don't believe TrumpRussia is a problem or anything big enough to pay attention to.

So all of his public speeches could be closed to the public because they are all campaign rallies now only for donors, supporters or invite guests. No anti Trump allowed so it would always seem like there was no decent. Never any open questions from the public. This is Hitler-esque but it's too late. Trump has already demonstrated his fraudulent character and ineptitude. Just like his health care bill in the senate where no democrats or expert are allowed to participate outside of McConnell's 12 senators. It's not the way a democracy operates just an authoritarian corporatocracy. Another Trump anti democratic rally or "Waiting for Putin" appreciation get together.

At his last rally in Pennsylvania, I don't think he had a good turnout. You could see areas of the venue that were empty. Will be curious to see the turnout for this next rally.

When he gave the commencement speech at Liberty University he commented on how everyone came to see him.
NO ~ they came to see their sons and daughters graduate.

If I am not mistaken, Cedar Rapids is a very blue region? Why would he purposely go into deep blue region to rally? To me that is like flipping his finger at the Democrats....

He needs to stroke his ego and brag about the most stupendous, magnificent, and successful foreign trip taken by any administration in the history of America. He even got a new shiny medal, and you know they don't just give those out to anybody!

As heard on the Thom Hartmann Show: Right after trump took office he formed his reelection campaign committee. Keep in mind Obama didn't form his reelection committee until a year before the election. Why would trump do this? So that his so called campaign rallies aren't just the president coming out to make a speech. That way they can keep those who do not agree with trump out of the rallies. Nice huh?

Trump will draw funds from his reelection committee to cover legal expenses related to the Russia inquiries; outside legal team costs are not covered by the federal government.
