TGP Photos: Trump Rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania (Part One)
President Trump held a rally with thousands of supporters at Arnold Palmer Airport in Latrobe, Pennsylvania located in the western part of the state. The tarmac rally had unprecedented security for a Trump rally, with the entire site ringed by semi-trailers and many counter-sniper teams on rooftops.
The weather was gorgeous with clear blue skies and a high temperature in the low 70s that turned chilly after sunset.
In addition to several Congressmen, speakers included Abbey Gate Gold Star families, steel workers and former Pittsburgh Steelers players.
