"Less than a month into office, President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday the first rally since his inauguration.

The President tweeted an announcement for the rally set for Saturday in Melbourne, Florida.
"Join me in Florida this Saturday at 5pm for a rally at the Orlando-Melbourne International Airport!" Trump tweeted."

I'd love to see how much that's going to cost the taxpayers, Federal, State, and Local. Won't be cheap.

You missed the boat. It started Jan 20th when he filed for 2020 candidacy so he can keep getting campaign contributions.

Yep.

So, since this suspiciously telegraphs 'money laundering operation' and 'graft', I'm guessing Trump will have to demonstrate at least some pretense of 2020 Presidential campaigning from time to time.

One month in and President Trump is already the greatest President Trump there ever was and ever may be.

 

[Mumbles]

Nope.

This campaign started weeks ago.

And campaigning is a lot more fun then actually running the country.....

Does that mean people will have to pay to attend? I'm sure he's going to meet with some opposition as well. I don't think he's ever faced a truly hostile crowd yet.

I don't know if people will pay, but they will be very well screened to get tickets. Only those Loyal to Dear Leader will be allowed to attend.

Very strange. I don't remember this happening before.

Nail on the head.

I wonder who they'll get to headline the White House Correspondents’ Dinner?

About $3 million a pop. That's what it costs us to send him "home" for the weekend every weekend.

Not per se. He's following the fascist playbook. Rallies are important for psychological and propaganda purposes.

Comes with the territory when you steal an election with the help of a foreign power. He could always turn himself over for prosecution and not have to put up with it.

Yes. Just like a certain politican in Germany in the 1930's...
