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.
“We’re going to fly it out to Iowa and I’m going to have it there,” Trump reportedly told the publication. “I’m 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.”
From a purely attraction perspective, what sort of fair organizer turns down someone wanting to give out free helicopter rides. Good for an extra thousand tickets everyday, easy.
I imagine Mr Trump is/ will be disappointed, but maybe it’s just as well. Anyone know if ‘’Beat Whitey Night’’ is still a fair ‘’activity’’?
this bad decision will haunt the organizers for years to come ...
they are playing checkers, Donald Trump is playing chess ...
heck, at this point, Trump may purchase a Space Shuttle and launch it right there ...
Anyone wanna guess how fast they could find a place for Obama to land a helicopter?
If there is a shortage of space, it’s reasoned.
I owe the spider headed lady a retraction. My retraction key seems to be stuck, but I will work on it.
=:^)
...has Donald weighed in on ethanol?

Let me be the FIRST to say it:
DONALD’S GONNA SUE!!!!
The ONLY plausible reason that they wouldn’t allow an insured vendor to give free rides is POLITICAL.
Haven’t heard. No idea.
Well as you know, Obama is more talented than anyone on the planet...I mean, he piloted Seal Team 6's chopper to bin Laden's compound, then jumped down with Rambo's knife between his teeth and single handedly offed bin Laden...ALL THE WHILE keeping the chopper hovering. Or something like that.....

They’re gonna all have to.....and I think there’s a good number of Iowans who will respect the few who show the guts to take the right stance on this.
Trump has the guts...so does Cruz...Carly....but I’m not sure about Trump or Carly’s conservative instincts on this topic.
Er-- uh-- one worried about liability in case of accident?
What are they going to do? Shoot it down?
++1. Definetly
Don’t get carried away Mr. Trump. If you make it to Halloween and still in the running, I recommend setting up a first class “House of Horror”.
The cars should look like a hand basket. As we’re being taken to hell in a handbasket. The main building should lead with “Abandon All Hope All Ye That Enter Here, with a placard identifying the build as Planned Parenthood.
A two headed Little Red Riding Hood, one head is Boehner, the other McConnell. They have hand baskets with baby parts in them. Nancy Pelosi as a Banshee, Reid as Frankenstein, Hillary staring into a mirror asking who’s the smartest of them all.
A chorus of Zombies with various likenesses of Senators, Congressmen, and Supreme Court Justices.
Obama is in the final room, dressed as Satan or Dracula. His Muslim Brotherhood sidekick dressed as a succubus. IRS vampires, and EPA werewolf. surround him.
LOL
You sure that would be ostentatious enough?
= :^)
Just circle around the state fair a few times, land at the airport and drive up in the Trump limo.
Trump doesn’t need to give helicopter rides, just have the kids be able to sit in it and then give them a hat/
