Are these costs solely on the back of American taxpayers, or do campaign funds reimburse the USG?
Have any other American presidents had these rallies? I can't recall any. Sure, party political events. But Nazi-style rallies?

No other presidents (that I can recall) have had such rallies unless running for reelection.
