Donald Trump will not be giving young children helicopter rides at the Iowa State Fair.
The Daily Mail reported Thursday that Donald Trump had asked the Iowa State Fair for permission to bring his helicopter to the fairgrounds to give children rides in it. The publication reported that he would set up the thrill ride at his own risk and expense.
Were going to fly it out to Iowa and Im going to have it there, Trump reportedly told the publication. Im going to try giving kids lifts in the helicopter.
However, state fair spokeswoman Mindy Williamson told the Des Moines Register that Trump did not ask for permission to do so, nor would he be granted permission if he does indeed seek it.
He is welcome to land his helicopter anywhere outside the grounds and take people on rides or whatever he would like to do, Williamson told the Register. But that will not be happening on Iowa State Fairgrounds.
Count on it: if a gay group offered a rainbow colored helo, it would be fine with the fair in the name of diversity.
Nice stunt.
Gone wrong...
Hard to believe, this is Trump. The magic man.
Cant he buy the Fair-grounds?
It be a liberal and GOPe conspiracy.
Did it go wrong? Now he can win points by claiming Iowa bureaucrats are persecuting him at the expense of the childrens!
Ah, they said Wollman Rink was too risky. But he did it.
...delivered on what he promised all the while continuing work on vastly larger projects.
People might have forgotten that NYC Parks Dept had totally screwed up the Wollman Rink rehab. Trump publicly challenged the Mayor repeatedly before Dinkins, the Janitor, gave in. Not only did the Donald bring in on the schedule he promised, he rubbed Dinkins nose in it by giving a highly publicized gala opening event.
The man knows how to read market trends ahead of the pack, gathers very skilled staff and consultants and moves quickly off the mark.
Oh, how he was told he’d never do it! Why, it was impossible to build a space shuttle...er, a skating rink in the middle of Central Park. So don’t underestimate The Donald flying into the middle of a state fair and offering kiddies rides.
Oddly enough, Jean Francois Kerry was allowed to land his helicopter on the Iowa Fair grounds during his presidential campaign.
Somehow I don’t think he’ll by flying a Robinson R44..
Very interesting! Is that the same man who fought in Viet Nam?
Yes, that’s the one. And let’s not forget the secret mission in Cambodia, though he is too humble to tell the story behind the tattered old beret he carries in his brief case.
He should grow one of those curly moustaches, smoke a cigarette and wear a striped shirt. Go all the way, Francois!
