Trump rally in Mobiles Battleship Park cancelled amid concerns of partisan political event: ReportPlans for former President Donald Trump to return July 4th weekend to the city many credited with lending legitimacy to his 2016 campaign after USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park commissioners reportedly did not sign off on a plan for Trump to hold a rally at the Mobile site, AL.com reports.
The commissioners were concerned that Trumps appearance on Saturday was going to be a partisan political event, rather than just a patriotic event planned for that evening

His best option is to jump from that New York penthouse

Its a bird. Its a plane. Well, yes, its a plane. Former President Donald J. Trumps VIP Boeing 757 emblazoned with a huge T on the tail and his name in capital letters could soon be back in the air.
Getting Trump Force One back in the skies will also mean more space. While airlines cram up to 200 seats into the same fuselage, this VIP version has just 43 seats. Features include a private bedroom, several lounge areas, a board table and gold-plated fixtures.
During his run to the White House, Trump used the airplane to barnstorm rallies, flying to dozens of cities, often returning to his Trump Tower penthouse at night.
How soon could Trump Force One be back in service? One expert tells us repairs might take 12 months, which would be just in time for the 2022 mid-term elections.

(53,978 posts)Their reason for rejecting it is kinda thin when you think about it. If they really wanted him authorities would've let it happen. And I'm betting this is going to happen more and more because of his reputation of not paying the cities back for security. He's fading into obscurity.

(1,000 posts)if he can't hold an audience here he can't hold one anywhere. He just forgot to use his own con, they want to hear all about their petty grievances, not his. He didn't con them, he is them. He will cease to be their Pied Piper if he doesn't tell them what they want to hear.

(1,700 posts)Imo, his base has some divisions within it. The hardcore racist/misogynist group wont desert him until he is dead or no longer viable. The white grievance group (jobs, immigration) will move on to a DeSantis or Abbott. The so-called fiscally responsible/libertarians will hang about waiting for some allegedly viable candidate that will spout the platitudes (read: screaming socialism at anything put forth by Dems) they want to hear.
