According to Twitter uses on the scene, attendees waiting to hear President Donald Trump speak at the Orlando-Melbourne International Airport hangar waited several hours to get in and the line reportedly stretched at least one mile past the gate.

Other journalists tweeted out images of the crowd inside the hangar, which looked to be sizable and eager to hear Trump speak in what the White House has called a “campaign event.”

Citizen journalists were also documenting the event as Air Force One arrived around 5:30 p.m....

With a few exceptions, big liberal crowds only turn out to destroy property and leave mountains of trash.

My 1st thought too.
If she didn’t say the prayer they would have tried to minimize her in some way.

Later on in a day or so they may still give it a shot.

Will see.

It was a good strategy

Frank Luntz was on one of the media channels Election Night; at 7 he was crowing about Hillary’s upcoming big win and how Trump lied about the size of a crowd at a rally Luntz covered. I guess the cameras lie, or Luntz lied - he certainly changed his tune a few hours later that evening.

Re: Now it’s up to 9,000

The way I heard Fox was — 9,000 total includes 2,500 plus protesters outside and 7,600 supporters inside hangar and ANOTHER 20,000 outside unable to get in.

Me, too. I have never been for someone like I was for him and his family. They are very special. I loved Melania’s prayer. It has never been done before or so I read. Was very special.

DT sounded surprised that she had introduced him with the prayer, I’d like to know if she thought that up on her own or had some coaching.

Either way I was amused, you just know it will have the usual suspects screeching in anger tomorrow on the Sunday morning talk shows.

“How dare FLOTUS say a prayer?!! This is further proof of the Trump Islamophobia!! We must impeach him for offending the prophet!”

Maybe they will use this opportunity to drag Mullah Obama away from Soros long enough to openly lead the vanguard of the revolution.

Caught a little network commentary online and had to chip in here: they don’t get it. They really do not understand why 9000 people would crowd into a hanger and stand in line to hear Trump. Now, the guy won an election he wasn’t supposed to and has been President for only a month and they still haven’t figured out the appeal. Approval rating increasing? Total mystery to them. I know it’s only been a month but in all that time they haven’t even tried to find out? I mean, as in ask somebody, anybody, who doesn’t live in liberal LaLaLand? Unbelievable.

They're claiming only 9,000 people. But that's all that could fit in the hangar.

There were probably another 20,000 outside.

I shop at Belk’s occasionally and it usually isn’t very busy. I was there this afternoon and it was very busy. Lots of women shopping and some men. I wonder if it’s a coincidence or if people are really out buying things? More confidence in the economy now?

“Reagan made a mistake agreeing to take on GHW Bush as his VP, that led to what he built being dismantled. He should have insisted on Paul Laxalt, the guy he really wanted.”

You bring up a very good point.

From what I understand, you can thank Karl Rove for doing that to Reagan. Rove is and always has been a slimeball.
