President Donald Trump Campaigns In Pensacola (With Photo Gallery)
October 24, 2020
Just 11 days ahead of Election day, President Donald Trump campaigned in Pensacola Friday night.
“Hello Pensacola. Hello Florida. We love Florida. There’s something going on out there. That’s a big crowd of people,” Trump said after reaching the podium at ST Aerospace at the Pensacola International Airport. “You know the other side is getting a little bit nervous, a little bit shaky right now.”
“Eleven days from now, we are going to win my home state of Florida, and we are going to win four more years in the White House, four more great years. Four more successful years,” Trump told the crowd of several thousand people.
He spoke about defending America’s borders, energy independence, opening up the country and taxes.
““I gave the largest tax cut and tax reform in history and we cut taxes again for the middle class. This election is between a Trump super recovery and a Biden super depression,” he said.
Under Biden, the country would be locked down, he said, but no under a Trump administration.

“We’re not locking down anything,” he said. “We understand the disease, I understand it better than you — I had it.”
Before Air Force One landed in Pensacola, Michelle Salzman, the Republican nominee for state House District 1, led thousands in a chant of “four more years”.
“You have to go vote for Donald Trump,” Salman told the crowd. “Y’all, this is so exciting. I am on a national stage, and I am so excited.”
Other speakers included Florida District 2 Rep. Alex Andrade, Florida Sen. Doug Broxson, Republican nominee for Alabama’s 1st Congressional District Jerry Carl, Florida CFO Jimmy Patronis, Florida 2nd Congressional District rep. Neal Dunn, U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

REGARDING:
“Biden is…a man who has the early stages of dementia”
Especially bad if true since he still looks like the far better choice but a diagnosis from a distance by his political opponent would be questionable even if President Trump were not so well known for dishonesty.
“Harris, leans way left”
True.
Still better than the opponent, though.
“Biden has always been a do nothing Senator with his hand out behind his back”
People complain about all he did and complain he did nothing. The two can’t both be true so they make up the claim all he did/didn’t do was due to unsupported claims of bribery despite the fact Biden’s records are available to check.
Interesting that the people who knew him best kept putting him back in office. Maybe they were all bad people?
Trump fears his performance review next week.even if he won, look at all the bad grades.
“Trump is the choice,…despite the Russia, Russia call by Democrats”
Actually the investigation was of Russian interference in our election and possible ties. President Trump blocked the investigation wherever possible out of fear it would be found and support of Vladimir Putin. He calls it “Russia, Russia” to convince you you should be bored even though ties and attempted ties were found. And his personal lawyer is still acting as a conduit for Russian agents.
“if you vote for Democrat, you approve of abortion, even after birth, KILLING BABIES.”
It can’t be abortion after birth. It is called infanticide and is not supported but it makes a good Boogie Man.
Lay out what you want to do to women who have abortions. If it is murder, it is premeditated first degree murder.
Shall we execute the women?
If not, why not?
It is hard to believe that Biden is the best the Democrats could come up with, a man who has the early stages of dementia! His running mate, Harris, leans way left. If these two people get elected it will get worse. Biden has always been a do nothing Senator with his hand out behind his back. Trump is the choice, not a politician, a business man who has accomplished alot for America, despite the Russia, Russia call by Democrats. And if you vote for Democrat, you approve of abortion, even after birth, KILLING BABIES. Since 1973 the Democrat party has succeeded in controling the Black population, which now would have been twice as many people, this is their goal. Vote Republican! At one time my entire family was Democrat, never again!!!
@DDD, stop drinking the Kool-Aid. This democrat is just as american as anyone else. My blood bleeds red and I love my country. What I don’t love are presidents who divide and demonize.
Nurse: No, I did not
@stumpknocker, I am not a Biden fan by any stretch of the imagination. Please dont repeat adds from tv about Biden has done nothing in 47 years. Please give me an example of a what should have been done and what others did in that same time. This is just tit for tat games being plaid. You say Trump is a business man. What about the law suits that he has settled for not paying contractors for work? Does that sound like Presidential material to you? I guess that is just fake news. Our county is more divided today than ever that I can remember in my short 48 years of life. He does things that you would punish your children for doing or saying, and yet others defend his childish actions by saying he is not your average president. This has turned into a board game that he controls the moves. Please know that I do not like Biden but the country has no other choice. That has to be where my vote goes.

“President Trump actually SAVED almost 2,000,000 lives.”
Maybe way more than that. Take the number who have died divided by the number who were infected and multiply that by the American population and you get
1,164,229/33,336,967 X 331,626,890 = 11,581,426.
He may have prevented the death of over eleven million Americans by taking measures to slow the spread of the infection.
Those measures were the shutdown. In fact, without it, there was a good chance the healthcare providers would have been so overwhelmed that even more of the sick would have died. The reduction in spread gave them time to treat and save many sick, improve treatment survival, work toward vaccines which would stop the spread and the deaths.
At this point, though, it all hinges on finding a safe vaccine and effective treatment.
Telling people to go out and get infected before that happens brings us back toward the eleven million target. Lying about there being no need to reduce virus transmission should be avoided.
If only he could tell the truth…
REGARDING:
“No such thing as “super-spreader”
Look it up for yourself.”
I did and I found this:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7229875/
Which leads to the question of why anyone other than the president would make a claim so easy to disprove.
I voted for President Donald Trump and have supported his campaign and am proud of it. As for red, many blues have entered our county, the colors are changing and it is not pretty.
@realist, you do know the difference between a private business man Trump, and Biden who took an oath 47 years ago to up hold, he has failed miserably. And if you can’t listen to Biden and figure out on your own something is wrong with him, and I’m not being funny or a wise guy. If he was your neighbor acting this way or a loved one hopefully you would be concerned about his well being. Bottom line is he has been bought by a communist country plain and simple. Let’s investigate him to the degree Trump was and see for ourselves.
Your snid comment about Trump is not working for you. Well I hope u know Biden would not ” work for you”, or any of us for that matter. He is bought and paid for by the underhanded crooks that are still in office.
@MEBA, you may want to move. People here tend to be conservative and believe in Truth, Justice, and the American way. Those are not liberal democratic party traits. MAGA!
REGARDING:
“Then why wear a seat belt or try to quit smoking or pass up that 2nd helping of bacon?”
I was with you until you got to the bacon.
But, anyhoo, suicidal actions like smoking or not wearing a seatbelt generally don’t harm others — unlike possibly spraying others down with a potential killer. Many quit smoking because of the high taxes making the vice expensive. Many only wear seatbelts to avoid the cost of a ticket.
Just a thought.
Make Escambia Blue Again!!
If you feel you need a mask then wear one if you are concerned about people not wearing a mask then keep a safe distance.
@ Bill, yes it will be forgotten. Just like the Y2K scare. People who didn’t believe in the hoax of the Y2K were told we would regret it and our children would be the ones who would suffer for our ignorance. Well we see how that worked out.
For the record I did not say Covid-19 is a hoax, because it isn’t it is real but I for one will not live in fear now just like I didn’t in 1999. I will take reasonable precautions to protect me and my family, which at times may or may not mean wearing a mask but I will not berate those who think differently than I do.
Trump 2020!!!
Brook nothing he said was racist and it did happen looks like your the uniformed and stop trying to use the card
My fiancée and I were there. It was a well-organized, highly patriotic event. The faith, freedoms, optimism, personal responsibility, and love for America, her people, and her institutions were on full display. The energy and enthusiasm for our future together was electric. We are grateful to have a president who truly lays it all on the line and gives everything he has in the fight for all Americans. It is such a refreshing change from the previous 8 years of deep swamp, America-hating, self-serving and smug corruption and destruction. Praying for God’s protection and favor and America’s appreciation for our president both now and in his next term.
@David
Regarding “Why argue amongst yourselves about either of the gentleman
They are lifetime corruption that will never end”
I couldn’t agree with you more… you seem to be the only one with any common sense.
@Seminole Sally, where did you get the information that 70% of people that have had Covid-19 are doing all the right things like masks and washing hands and all. Please let me know so that I can read it myself and become more informed (unless its from Facebook) of coarse. I could be looking at this thing all wrong!
@stumpknocker, I have read this story and the comments and am going to keep my feelings to myself but I just cant let go the fact that you said that the Biden and his family are just a bunch of crooks and dont know what a hard days work is. I would ask you to look at the current person sitting there. You dont even know where all of his business interests are because he refuses to share his taxes. He has been sued many times for failing to pay contractors for jobs performed. Does a crook get a service and not pay for it? Ill let you be the judge of that. And for the family, you dont have to look far because they all have positions in the White House. I wonder if any of them have calluses on their hands. So you really should think about what you say before you just blurt it out….
@telyman Could you possibly spew any more radical right-wing rhetoric, verbatim, at that? Now if only any of it were actually true. Are you capable of independent thought? No? I didn’t think so. Trumpers are truly horrible ppl, I truly don’t know how you live with yourselves.
It saddens me to know how many of my fellow neighbors are that incredibly ignorant, misinformed, brainwashed, unpatriotic, and morally bankrupt. Anyone that could possibly support a man who mocked military veterans, the dead, and a disabled person is truly an AWFUL human being. SHAME ON YOU?
@Nurse—You had to check a box acknowledging the possibility of getting Covid at the Rally in order to get tickets.
My. Question goes unanswered.
Thank you for publishing this article and these pictures of a PresidentIal visit , a historic event in our community. There was very little unbiased coverage by other local news outlets.
I see by the comments that many people are upset there were very few masks worn.This was pointed out by the news media as well. I don’t recall the news media ever commenting on or being critical of the crowds at funerals and protests that were attended by thousands of liberal left and followers of BLM. Neither do I see that the liberal left is concerned about abortion right up until birth . They are , however , concerned about deaths from a virus and conservatives not wearing masks. . The hypocrisy and double standards of the liberal left never ceases to amaze me.
REGARDING:
“@ David HUIE no need to quote scripture if don’t have a true understanding of God’s word.”
True, but many do. They think the president is the king and apply interpretation accordingly. (Unless they don’t like the president, of course.) They think it was wrong of Samuel to point out Saul’s faults or Nathan to point out King David’s sins. I forgive them their misunderstandings. They don’t know any better.
David for better people
No such thing as “super-spreader”
Look it up for yourself.
Also the majority of people, over 70%, who did come down with Covid we’re doing all the right things, like wearing masks and washing your hands etc. you need to learn to think for yourselves. Also, why is nobody jumping on the Pensacola interstate fair as being a “super spreader event “?
Democrats are idiots
@Bill super spreader lol ok. You do understand that the count for the deaths from c-19 is not accurate. I know for fact there has been many case here locally that cause of death was due to other serious illness such as heart attack heart failure, the person was elderly and had no signs of C-19 at all, but cause of death was C-19. You keep hiding and if Biden is elected he will grant your wish for a total lock down on everything. And the death rate as well as crime rate is much greater in democratic run states and city’s. So keep your fingers crossed. Democrats don’t give a care about a child outside it’s mother and willing to kill the baby, yeah keep your fingers crossed. Democrats don’t give a care about our black communities in our country, well they do every 4 years. Biden and his family are nothing but crooks and none of them knows what a hard days work is .
President Trump actually SAVED almost 2,000,000 lives. I want to point out to people claiming that President Trump allowed Covid19 to kill 220,000 people because of inaction that the early predictions had 2,200,000 Covid 19 deaths. Because of his early steps taken like shutting down international travel (which Joe Biden called xenophobic and “Come on down to ChinaTown” Pelosi ridiculed at the time) actually SAVED almost 2,000,000 lives.
Can we fault people for believing POTUS…..When people in power tell lies like the death rate is less than 1%, or covid19 is like the flu and it will just go away?
I guess I’m weird to think Potus is irresponsible to have rallies without insisting on masks and social distancing. And I’m the bad person if I wear a mask so that my family, friends, or even a stranger might not get covid19.
Someone here said 60% of infected people won’t have symptoms……she left out that this 60% can still infect other people! What if its you? What if you’re the one who suffers or dies? Oh thats right….we all die sometimes anyway! Then why wear a seat belt or try to quit smoking or pass up that 2nd helping of bacon? Why bother wearing a mask!!!?
This is not about whether you like Donald J Trump! This is about your love for your own family and this might be too much but if you love thy neighbor!?!
(definition by Webster’s dictionary)
TRUMPERY: Deceit fraud, something serving to deceive by false show or pretense, falsehood, worthless but showy.
OH, HOW FITTING!
@ David Hue no need to quote scripture if don’t have a true understanding of God’s word.
I’m a democrat and I can careless whether you wear a mask or have a abortion. Your choice not mines. Do what works for you and Trump doesn’t work for me.
Holding maskless super spreader events in the wake 222,000 dead Americans doesn’t exactly scream pro-life but if that’s your argument good luck with it.
It’s funny how democrats say it’s My body, my choice when they want to push for a 100% death rate of an unborn child but cry like a bratty 2-year old when people don’t wear a mask that results in less than a 1% death rate.
Re:Cuyon, The subject is set in Romans 13:1 and the subject is about God and then the subject matter changes in verse 5 to presumably being about the church leadership. It has nothing to do with government or those elected to office in our representative democracy.
You certainly have a right to your own opinion but I think you would do well to find a different Bible teacher and maybe a concordance, bible dictionary, etc,,.
It is so insane that people are still supporters of Donald Trump. I have never seen someone who is so evil and divisive. As a Christian, I could never support someone like Trump. And I am so shocked that Evangelicals has been such supporters of this President. There is nothing good about him and I don’t believe that Jesus Christ would ever be a supporter of Trump, so why would Evangelicals support him. I see the situation with Trump as a test from God, just seeing how many of His people will choose to follow and vote for this evil man and how many will reject him. He said during his 2016 campaign that he could ‘shoot someone in Times Square and people would still support him’, and he was right. Everything that Trump is, my Bible teaches against. He lies, cheats, has had multiple wives and so much more. He is awful. And his biggest lie to date is when he said that he would make America great again, because America is at it’s worst that I’ve ever seen in my lifetime. So you Trump supporters, keep right on supporting this awful person. You will be held accountable.
REGARDING:
“there is evidence that directly contradicts your opinion, if you are willing to see it.”
That doesn’t contradict my opinion of HIM since it’s based on what he IS/DOES.
A murderer isn’t a good man just because he isn’t also an arsonist or an arsonist good because he isn’t a drug runner. President Trump lies. He brags about lying. He calls others demeaning names. He mocks people. He insists those wanting his help praise him. He’s a bully. He drove up national debt before COVID-19 (which he called a “case of sniffles” for some). He betrayed the Kurds to Turkish slaughter. He ripped nursing children out of their mothers’ arms for legally seeking asylum.
AND
“if this virus infects 60% of the population and none of them show symptoms, we say that sixty percent is “asymptomatic.”
a virologist that sees no symptoms in 60% of the infected would not say that – he would call that a “weak virus.” “
Actually, he wouldn’t. WebMD estimates it closer to 40% but it doesn’t matter how many shots you fire, what matters is how many you kill (230,068 and counting in the USA) –and injure. Dead is dead even if others lived.
Further, just as surviving a gunshot doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt you, COVID-19 does internal damage (heart and lungs, at least — likely other organs too) even to the ones who didn’t show symptoms — including children. Long term harm is yet to be determined.

AND
“that is why so many went to the rally: they knew there was no real threat.“
I wish you were right, otherwise you paid a heavy price for a man who doesn’t care for you or your children.
David for better people
What bothers me is that it’s over 222000 dead from the virus and he claimed he had it before if you wanna believe i have swamp land in the middle of of the ocean for sale. People are not wearing their masks and ignores this virus like they will get 15 virgins if they do get it. I think if he had broke out the Clorox it would have been people that would drink it.
He will lose big time, worst president in History. He spent 4 years as president didn’t fix healthcare or do anything . Now he makes promises he will fix it, yeah right. People aren’t blind they know a New York Con man when they see one
We don’t need big city New Yorkers with Chinese bank accounts running the country
bill man of intelligence, covid is potus fault
Joe B, “why should i support jobs? my supporters dont want jobs! duh
@k
You’re right. Trump did say that white nationalist and neo-nazis should be condemned in that video. Immediately before he also condemned the protesters that were advocating to remove the statue. Why is it so difficult for the president to say “I do not support white nationalists or neo-nazis” with no strings attached, no follow ups, and no conditions?
I fully support commuting Alice Johnson’s sentence. I also fully support investigating why she was arrested in the first place to ensure that no one in this country has to rely on Kim Kardashian asking the president for a favor to get them out of prison.
I think the FUTURE Act is a step in the right direction, but put it in perspective. This bill has allocated $85 million for historically black colleges and universities. That is less than 1% of the funds that have been spent on his border wall. Why do we have so much money for keeping people out instead of improving the lives of people already in the country?
They are the actions of a man trying to get reelected. I don’t believe Trump sits in a dark room rubbing his hands together, plotting new ways to make minorities suffer, but I do think that he recognizes that while not all Trump supporters are white supremacists, most white supremacists are Trump supporters. If he comes out guns blazing combating social injustice and promoting equality, he will lose a significant part of his base.
I’m curious where you got your degree in virology. One of the most dangerous parts about a disease is how quickly and efficiently it kills. The flu kills more people every year than SARS did because SARS was extremely good at killing the host before more people could be infected. COVID is in that dangerous middle ground where it is deadly enough to kill, but not deadly enough to keep it from spreading.
COVID-19 first arrived in the US in January. It grew exponentially until the economy was shut down and most people took steps to limit their infection rate (practicing social distancing, washing hands, wearing masks, etc). What we were doing was working. The infection rate went down. The total number of cases was going down. The daily infection rate and mortality rate both went down. We were winning the fight.
…until we decided that protecting the DJIA was more important than protecting Americans. The economy reopened, people were forced to return to their jobs, and the anti-mask movement started. Now 230,000 Americans are dead from a preventable disease that we nearly beat, and more are going to die because of super-spreader events like this one.
k:
222,000 Dead
Would someone in attendance please answer my question. Was it a requirement to sign a Covid liability release form to enter the event
Trump 2020
David Huie Green:
We see that you think the virus is dangerous, and are willing to call out false arguments. It’s also clear that you think very poorly of the President. all well and good.
there is evidence that directly contradicts your opinion, if you are willing to see it.
the ABC News press conference on Charlottesville, three years ago – a 53 minute video on a certain site starting with “you” has it. flip to 19:15 for the first of many condemnations of white supremacy.
same place also has a video about Alice Johnson receiving a pardon – and the President asks her for guidance on who else should be pardoned – and he just added five more this week.
third, the president just a month after inauguration signs an executve order clearing the way for HBCU’s to more easily obtain grants and federal funding.
none of these actions are the actions of a racist.
and finally, concerning the virus…
if this virus infects 60% of the population and none of them show symptoms, we say that sixty percent is “asymtomatic.”
a virologist that sees no symtoms in 60% of the infected would not say that – he would call that a “weak virus.”
the virus has been around for a year now. at we’ve only just now reached the number of cases of the virus that was supposed to be the original number of deaths. in other words, not only is it not as deadly as it was supposed to be, it isnt even making people as sick as we were told it would.
*that is why so many went to the rally: they knew there was no real threat.*
Why argue amongst yourselves about either of the gentleman
They are lifetime corruption that will never end.
Both can not tell the truth
Both are in it for themselves
Decades in Washington…Biden is a social parasite, Trump is the same.
Your not defending good men.
To each his own
As for me…neither for America
They have raped it every time they speak
Yet, you think there is a a lesser of 2 evils.
They are one and the same
Once you have all that money..it becomes not about America…it is a status parasite symbol
They both are
I have to question the judgement of anyone who would intentionally put people at risk. With numbers spiking again, it seems especially self serving.
Trump got my vote
Democrats shouldn’t need to address the riots. there are riots because of bigotry and
the animosity against people who do not look exactly like you. When you treat people as though they don’t matter, and have no value YOU GET RIOTS. How stupid can a person be to ask that question.
REGARDING:
“Democrats never address why all kinds of riots , funerals for scum bag criminals attended by thousands, , etc. are perfectly safe and should be encouraged”
That’s just because they aren’t safe, shouldn’t be encouraged, and aren’t encouraged. False argument.
“read Romans Ch.13 vs 1-8. It explains the way you are to treat those that are our elected for leadership.”
Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
The highest earthly power in America is the people. The three branches of government are sworn to uphold the Constitution we established.
“8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.”
Many fall short here. One of them flew in yesterday, loved only himself, left, a man without honor, honesty, or shame.
David for better people
He must be doing something right for all these people to take the time to show up to give support. Biden can’t even get 2 people to show up.
These people seem very smart! Yikes
Matthew 7 , 15 thru 20
I worked at the Trump Rally yesterday for about 12 hours and would like to say that it was an energizing atmosphere. Great positivity and wonderful people. The parking volunteers, the crowd control folks, the wellness crew, to the security force, and everyone in between the job of keeping people safe and orderly was top priority.
Everyone who entered had their temperature taken and were offered masks and hand sanitizer. The Rally was well thought out and well executed. Thank you Pensacola for a Rally well organized and well attended!
Trump 2020 Yea!
For all, read Romans Ch.13 vs 1-8. It explains the way you are to treat those that are our elected for leadership.
GOD BLESS the USA
Another great turnout for our great President Trump.
Haters don’t even know why they hate.
Did. They Require you to sign a liability release form to enter
Nice of Trump to stop by and say farewell to his most fervent cult members! You know, before he loses bigly on November 3rd.
My girl bill
What gets me is that Democrats never address why all kinds of riots , funerals for scum bag criminals attended by thousands, , etc. are perfectly safe and should be encouraged, but lawful gatherings by decent people are a hell’s den and responsible for spreading Corona. Bill, can you answer that please?
Sheeple.
Greatest President since Reagan. TRUMP 2020
I sure am glad it’s raining today. That should wash away the stench left by his visit!
Thank you Bill. I agree with you.
I thought they were all asked to wear a mask.
I dont see any.
Hey Bill! Next time you visit your doctor ask him/her if STFU is the right prescription for you
It was such a great atmosphere! No hatred and fighting, no riots, just excitement and respect and love for our great President! TRUMP 2020
I agree with MeanGene, Trump already has the panhandle voters, he needs to be focusing heavily on the I-4 corridor.
Re: Bill- yes, one day these photos will be in a collection, in a book titled something like “The Demise The Democrat Party, How It Happened.
To NE.com. thanks for covering this story with the accompanying photos. 99% of the media doesn’t.
Bill, Get in the basement if you have one or you can ask if Joe will let you use his. This is still a free country. And remember the people you are voting for are after your rights and will be the ones to shut you down and up when you disagree with them.
GO TRUMP
Bless your heart Bill, you’re not a fan of freedom huh?
pro-life ——
Don’t think so.
I value all lives, not just claiming to be pro-life for the unborn.
Look at people following their leader, no matter what. What has happen to our Christian beliefs ?
I voted Trump before and will do it again! We need Trump! I regret I couldnt make the rally. I read that masks would be required and would be given out at the rally and hand sanitizer would be made available. I am truly surprised to see so few people wearing the masks in the photos. That will not stop me from voting Trump but I do wish more people would have worn masks. If people catch covid others will be quick to point the finger at the rally. — on a side note, while I will be voting Trump I encourage everyone to vote regardless of who you vote for, if you dont vote you dont have a right to complain of you dont like something. Go vote! (And for those of us Trump supporters MAGA!)
@Bill
Okay, drama queen.
Some day these pictures will be collected in a historical context and the accompanying text will try to explain the idiotic cult-following death spreading nature of these people. And people into perpetuity will wonder how this was allowed to even happen. Take note. This will NOT be forgotten.
God Bless Trump!!
I voted for Pres Trump and pray every day for Republican win.
MAGA!!
I’m confused why he even came to this area. This is one of the reddest parts of the state. He won’t lose FL because of our area, it’ll be because the major cities in FL lean more blue.
