appointed Secretary of Education. She definitely didn't earn that position based on experience or aptitude.

pay for the arena! I'm sure they'll both find a way to get the taxpayers to pay, campaign event or not.

I seldom give it out to anyone.

Of course, since I get no cell signal at home, they might waste a lot of their time and resources trying to get through on it.

But if each of the people that buys a ticket gets just gets just four more people to show up, and then each of those people can get four other people to show up, they'll knock that 20,000 out in no time at all.

Considering Trump formed his re-election committee the day after his poorly-attended inauguration, I'm not sure what this "I will be announcing" bullshit is. Practically every public appearance he's made in more than two years has been a re-election rally, so Trump could boot out the riff-raff from his "private" event.

Let's see who in the media falls for this latest stunt.

How was it even fair to Trump to have a Republican-controlled House AND Senate kowtowing to his every whim those first two years? Why, he oughta unnominate all those judges and justices that got confirmed, and repeal the tax cuts for the wealthy just to show everybody he means business with this tantrum!

It’s on our dime too. He just keeps doing his rallies the same old way and we keep paying for them, just like always.
