Kissing babies is so old-fashioned: Donald Trump says he'll bring $7 million helicopter...<tr>

Step right up, children of Ottumwa, Cedar Rapids and Sioux City! No tickets needed – just put on your 'Make America Great Again!'™ cap and make your way to the front of the line for a ride on Donald Trump's flying fortress.

It's the silly season in America's midwest, and for eleven days beginning on August 13 Iowans will converge on the state fairgrounds for livestock shows, country music, fried Oreos, games, carnival rides – and pitches from presidential candidates.

This year's main attraction, if Trump has his way, will be his $7 million Sikorsky S-76 helicopter – a one-of-a-kind campaign tool available only for children who want to see what cornfields look like from 5,000 feet above the dirt.

The billionaire told DailyMail.com on Wednesday in an exclusive interview that he's asked the Iowa State Fair for permission to set up the thrill ride at his own risk and expense.

Not at all. Trump did not get where he is by keeping his timid feet firmly planted to the ground.

He loves adventure and is willing to share it.
If I were a kid there my parents would have had no problem letting me go.

Probably be my first time on an aircraft.

I think his hair is his way of not taking himself too seriously...particularly when it is blowing in the wind.

I've actually grown to respect him more because of his hair.

In fact, I might get into the orange comb-over wig business.

This guy is too much.

Hey kids while we're at the fair do you want to go on a hay ride with Hillary? Or the jackasses with Joe Biden? Or how about a weekend at Bernie's or tacos with Jeb? ...NOOO! We want to ride in the Donald's helicopter

52-foot executive helicopter seats 12 people comfortably including the pilot!

Children will sink into cream-colored Italian-leather seating, sip Trump-brand ice water and secure themselves with gold plated seat belt buckles!!

OMG--I love this. He's fun.

Anyone who raised an Ivanka is A-OK in my book anyway.

I’m laughing my tookus off about this!!!

Who can match it? Nobody that’s who!

Reminds me of the time my employer was going to buy one of these many years ago. They flew one down and landed it in the field by the office. All day the boss opened the thing up for rides. The secretaries had a hoot!

Yes, he bought one to join his little air force.

The thought is funny. 10 campaign staff hanging out at the “Jebs Famous Love Tacos” stand and 2000 kids trying to get a ride on the “Trump Chopper”!

Jeb doesn’t have to campaign.
He’ll have millions of Dems on board for Reverse Op Chaos.

(assuming Hillary continues basically unopposed)

States really need to go to closed primaries. I understand FLA is a closed primary state.

I sort of think he will use his own mode of transportation as long as ‘they’ let him - his bodyguards probably do a ‘better’ job than SS and it wouldn’t surprise me if he wanted to keep his ‘own’ security detail. ((to save money).
People would eat that up - ESPECIALLY those that think they can turn that into ‘their’ money.

I want to hear the uproar when “the Donald” does step aboard a US Government plane and puts his OWN logo on it....
