Letter to the editor: Thoughts from the Trump rally

I got to President Trump’s rally in Latrobe at 2 p.m., and there was a long line waiting to get in. A reporter and her cameraman passed by and I asked what channel they worked for. She said, “CNN.” Well, everyone around me backed up at the same time and there was a big empty space around me and the reporter. It was hilarious.

The reporter asked me questions like, “Why are you here,” “What do you like about Trump” and “Who are you going to vote for.” I told her that Trump was good for the economy, inflation was down, gas was two-something a gallon, I kept getting raises at work and my investments kept going up. Then she asked me to tell her my name and where I live, which I did. After she left, everyone around me said, “Oh they’re never going to air that,” and they never did. I looked it up. It seems CNN only airs interviews where people talk bad about Trump. I find them very biased.

I took a lot of food with me, Cheetos, pepperoni rolls, Baby Ruth bars, and when the Secret Service guy searched my bag, he said, “Oh, you have the good stuff.” There was a lot of news media there, yet you didn’t see the rally on TV. Only Newsmax broadcast it. Sen. Doug Mastriano and Dr. Mehmet Oz were there. They didn’t win the state, but they did win Westmoreland County. I had a good time, but it was a lot of standing.
