Last edited Thu Aug 17, 2017, 04:30 PM - Edit history (4)

It's a re-election rally and he'll be announcing a pardon for Sheriff Arpaio.

PHOENIX - President Trump confirmed Wednesday he would be coming to Phoenix on August 22.

The rally will take place at the Phoenix Convention Center at 7 p.m.

Tickets are available on Trump's website and are first come, first serve.

This would be Trump’s first visit to Arizona since his election victory last November. He made seven visits to the state during his presidential campaign.

he knows that there will probably be protesters there protesting him. I think he'll claim vindication of his 'both sides' comments if violence breaks out at this rally in Phoenix. He will then point to it and say - see I told you it was both sides.

If there are protests planned against Trump at this rally - we have to be sure that they are peaceful and non-violent. The only thing I'm worried about is that he'll pay people to disrupt at this rally to gin up violence and then point out that it was those protesting against him that were at fault.

I would like to protest, but at my age and in my fragile health, I'll only do it far away from the convention center, even if I just stand on a busy street corner near my house.

He'll also attack McCain and Flake. It will be interesting to see who else appears with him. I'm sure Brewer and Arpaio will along with all of the other Trump lackeys in town.

The question is whether Gov. Ducey will be appear or make some lame excuse not to show up.

she has shown some efforts to stay distant from the buffoon, and she was military, so hopefully the disgusting pandering to racists will keep her away.

Jeff DeWit told me this AM no one's said anything to him about running. (I've never believed he'd run)
