Rallies have been mainstay of president’s brand but even some in his own party fear voters are sick of the sight of him
“Get your asses in that car.” That was Donald Trump’s order, he later recalled, to his motorcade after foul weather grounded Air Force One in Texas on Thursday. The 85-mile dash to Oklahoma at nearly 100mph was proof that nothing can keep Trump from a Trump rally.

So that the communities can be spared the need to address these criminal injustices at the hands of the greedy and corrupt - through ever diminishing options
