Politico reported President Donald Trump's fans are thrilled to see him back on the road and in his campaign rally element — but the things he’s saying on the stump are scaring them.

“Trump stirred up fresh concerns Tuesday at a Pennsylvania rally that was supposed to focus on easing Americans’ anxieties over pocketbook pressures,” reported Politico. “Instead, he veered off script, at one point urging austerity amid the holiday shopping season by resurfacing a line from earlier this year that American kids should be happy with ‘two or three’ dolls.”

“I think a lot more domestic events outside of Washington are great. Let’s do more of it,” an anonymous former Trump senior adviser told Politico. But, “Unfortunately, I just don’t think Trump is temperamentally capable of reversing himself and saying, ‘Yes, affordability is a concern.’ He’s stubborn.”...

President Donald Trump's rally in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday had one notable guest in attendance — Third Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Emil Bove. Now, multiple legal experts are questioning why a member of the judiciary was in the audience for a rabidly partisan event.

The New York Times reported Wednesday that Bove, who was one of Trump's personal attorneys before ascending to a top position in Trump's Department of Justice and eventually a judicial post, has been subjected to an official ethics complaint for attending the rally. While Bove didn't speak or stand behind Trump during his speech, he was spotted in the crowd by an MS NOW reporter and told them he was "just here as a citizen coming to watch the president speak."

However, Trump's rally pivoted sharply from its stated topic of addressing the high cost of living to the president's typical rally fare, like railing against immigrants from underdeveloped countries. During one part of the speech, Trump attacked Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and repeated a debunked conspiracy theory while suggesting the four-term congresswoman and naturalized U.S. citizen should be deported. ...

Donald Trump held a controversial rally on Sunday at Madison Square Garden in New York, and his own fans were reportedly "streaming for the exits" while he was still speaking.

Trump spurred outrage among historians by holding his rally at the same location as an infamous 1930s Nazi gathering amid allegations from those who worked closely with him that he is a fascist who wanted his own generals to be more like Adolf Hitler's loyal military leaders. The rally itself featured a speaker who made a comment that was disavowed by Trump's campaign and his closest allies.

The event was so steeped with rhetoric perceived as racist that Trump-supporting Meghan McCain said it could "backfire" and cost him the election. ...

Critics ridiculed Donald Trump on Saturday after he gave a speech in Pennsylvania where, before he was finished speaking, many of his own fans had already funneled out.

Trump spoke in State College, PA, where he at one point lashed out at sound engineers after saying the sound on a video he played was "lousy." Before he was done talking, people started leaving, resulting in a crowd that was seen as sparse by onlookers.

Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign posted a video of the development, saying, "Crowd empties out of half-empty arena as Trump speaks in Pennsylvania." ...

A 10-year-old boy attending a rally in Arizona insisted that he "totally didn't bleach" his hair with blonde color because he wanted to be like former President Donald Trump.

Before a rally in Prescott Valley on Sunday, RSBN host Mike Fortin asked the 10-year-old boy named Broderick why he supported Trump. The boy wore a red MAGA cap and a shirt with Trump's face that read: "You missed b----."

"Um, that he has blonde hair like me, which I totally didn't bleach," the young man said as he removed his hat to reveal a patch of bleached blonde hair....

Donald Trump has consistently claimed that his fans don't leave his rallies early, but that appears to be undermined by footage from his Sunday rally.

Trump over the weekend spoke in Wisconsin, where he made multiple verbal slip-ups that were ridiculed online. He also appeared to get distracted by an "aggressive" fly.

Observers also noticed that, at least at one point, numerous rallygoers seemed to be filing out while he was speaking. ...
