SANFORD Thousands of people were waiting on the tarmac Monday for President Donald Trumps first campaign rally outside Washington since his coronavirus diagnosis 11 days ago.
The mostly maskless crowd was seated closely together in chairs and bleachers, with some seeking shade in a hangar, before Trumps scheduled arrival on Air Force One at Orlando Sanford International Airport.
Trumps podium was set in the middle of the crowd, surrounded by supporters on all sides.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a staunch Trump ally, high-fived spectators as he arrived. He wasnt wearing a mask.

Everything near Donald Trump first lies and then dies.........
