I sure hope the crowd makes him feel better about his feeble accomplishments
Maybe pitch in & buy him a nice YUGE gold plated participation trophy or something??
President Trump will hold a rally in Pennsylvania to mark the first 100 days of his presidency -- a period that has been filled with tumult, a few victories, and several unaccomplished proposals.
The rally will be in Harrisburg on April 29, the White House announced Saturday.
Trump has again chosen Pennsylvania as the backdrop for a major rally -- acknowledging, his supporters say, the state's key role in his win. In December, he drew a crowd in Hershey for his post-election rally.
"Next Saturday night I will be holding a BIG rally in Pennsylvania. Look forward to it!" Trump tweeted Saturday afternoon.
But Trump's success in his first-100-days agenda is already under scrutiny. The Senate has confirmed his nominee for Supreme Court justice and numerous Cabinet members; he took steps to halt travel into the U.S. by citizens of some majority-Muslim countries, though Trump's second executive order was blocked by a federal judge; and he issued orders to boost deportations and border enforcement.
But his party failed to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, and Trump has not introduced tax cuts, import taxes, or a plan to invest in infrastructure, all items on his agenda, though he said Friday he would unveil a tax reform package in the coming week. He also has not, aside from an executive order, implemented a plan to build a border wall and have Mexico pay for it.
The rally is the same evening as the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, an event held in Washington for the press and traditionally attended by the president currently in office. Trump, who regularly criticizes the media, had said he intended to skip this year's dinner well before Saturday's disclosure that he intends to hold a rally in Harrisburg while it is taking place.
It is also the day after the deadline for Congress to pass a spending bill. If the measure does not pass, Saturday would be the first day of a possible government shutdown.
Supporters, however, see the rally as an appropriate way for the president to discuss his accomplishments.
"The kind of folks he wants to reach out to and show what he's been doing are folks in places like Pennsylvania, where people want jobs, people want to see action taken," said Val DiGiorgio, chairman of the state Republican Party.
Trump campaigned frequently in central Pennsylvania and had a strong showing in that region, though he won the state by less than one percentage point over Democrat Hillary Clinton.
DiGiorgio said the state party had told the White House it would help with the rally in any way and was set to speak with officials in the next 24 hours.
"I think the president is proud of what he's accomplished so far -- I think he should be -- so why not come back here to your faithful supporters and show them how much you care about them?" DiGiorgio said.
