He was mobbed by thousands of fans - more than other candidates were
Donald Trump was mobbed at Iowa State Fair on Saturday afternoon as he staged a grandiose entrance in his $7million helicopter and launched an all-out war on his 2016 presidential rivals. Shortly after 1pm, the GOP frontrunner arrived in his $7million Sikorsky S-76, landing in a parking lot near to the fairgrounds, which he had hired out so he could give free helicopter rides to children.
He then held a press event, during which he called Hillary Clinton the 'worst Secretary of State' in U.S. history, accused Jeb Bush of being a 'puppet to his donors' and asked: 'Who likes Obama?' Donning one of his now-famous 'Make America Great Again!'™ caps, and surrounded by children, Trump declared 'nobody' would meet the high standards that he would set if he was president. 'Voters like me, they know I'm doing to do the job,' he said, adding that he would 'bring back jobs', 'take care of people', tackle illegal immigration and 'be better to women' - unlike other candidates.

Well done sir!
He’s having the time of his life, isn’t he? I noticed that he is using his old helicopter for the free rides. That makes sense, as his newer one is outfitted in 24K gold and he wouldn’t want that messed up. Back to my point - Trump is 69 years old. He has spent the majority of his life building businesses, making deals and I think he realizes he is now immortal and wants to give back to this country. I think he also wants to make sure his children and grandchildren have a future long after he is gone. He is out seeing the country and its citizens he has never had time to do. He has also hobnobbed with the rich and famous, celebrities and business people. He is seeing the other side of America - the fly over country, with its county fairs and every day average citizen.
I counted about 5 guys around him who I assume are his body guards, and I also think he is wearing a bullet-proof vest from the way he walks. Not sure, but it looks like it.
Somebody good with photoshop please get that photo of Jeb in the apron.
It’s the perfect meme for the GOPe.
Well said, Catsrus. People can and sometimes do change over time. They may look back on their lives and want to set things right, or realize that they have made few contributions despite how blessed they have been.
Trump may be one of those people. I hope so.
And how many of his ‘guards’ are wearing regular clothes???
Several stories of him leaving social events early (he doesn’t drink).to come home pop some corn and watch a movie or ball game. Never has been impressed by bluebloods
And good on him!
Other candidates could learn a lot from what Trump obviously understands.
-JT, an ‘Individual’
He is close to his roots both Scot and German. Good solid work ethic. His is the true American dream from penniless German immigrant (who told people he was Swedish because of he antigerman atmosphere) to mega billionaire. American Dream on Steroids
