Donald Trump vowed to spend as much as $1 billion to defeat Hillary Clinton as he brought his unique brand of pandemonium to Des Moines.
For the 45 minutes it took him to walk from Gate 8 to the Iowa Pork Tent, onlookers stood agape, corndogs in one hand and smartphones in the other, shouting, pleading for a handshake, taking it in.
We love you Donald.
Give em hell!
Kick Hillarys ass!
Hed landed several blocks away in a $7 million helicopter bearing his name. As he braved the sizzling midday heat, walking along in a navy blazer, khakis and shiny white spats, the chopper, still giving rides to groups of fawning children, swirled overhead.

good one.
The kids had a great time. They were very excited.
Trump escorted them all aboard personally, with more than a hundred press cameras thirty feet away.
The whole thing was a political campaign tour de force.
On the fair grounds themselves, which were packed because it was Saturday, with near-perfect weather, everyone was looking up and pointing and saying "There goes Trump."
And we're talking probably at least a couple of hundred thousand Iowans.
Then when he went on the grounds himself, he was nearly crushed by the crowds around him for several hours.
I'm talking like five thousand people at a time trying to get close enough to shake his hand and maybe get a picture taken with him.
By the way, I don't support Trump. I'm simply reporting what I saw.
Thanks for the first hand report. Very good report!
“Then when he went on the grounds himself, he was nearly crushed by the crowds around him for several hours.”
Heb Bush and his twenty supporters the other day must be envious. (^;
Looks like the kids were as excited as I imagined they’d be.
