About 5,000 People Attended Trump’s Rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin

The September 17 rally was held in a hangar at the Central Wisconsin Airport in Mosinee. He last visited Wisconsin for an Oshkosh rally on August 17. As has become a familiar refrain for his campaign events, Trump referred to the rally as a “peaceful protest.”

Dale Ryman of WSAW reported that the crowd size was estimated at about 5,000 for the Mosinee event.

WPR reported that people were in line hours before the event started, which was partially inside an open hangar, and little social distancing was seen. Mosinee itself is a city of about 4,000, and the crowd for Trump’s event was packed.

One report noted a large crowd more than four hours before the event.

Michael Glassner, chief operating officer of Donald J. Trump for President, Inc., shared this crowd photo, captioned, “Another epic Trump rally!”:

During his speech, Trump talked about the possibility of a COVID-19 vaccine and praised the Big Ten’s return to football. He spoke about job creation and trade, and the Black Lives Matter protests. Trump also spoke about Iran, saying that if the country struck the U.S., the U.S. would strike back even harder.

Trump addressed concerns of COVID-19 spreading at his rallies, saying he was on a stage far away from other people, so he wasn’t very concerned. He also reiterated that he calls his rallies protests to avoid some COVID-19 restrictions.

“These are protests, so it’s allowed,” he told the crowd. In fact, quite a few attendees have been bringing “peaceful protest” signs with them to Trump rally events.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications and Director of Social Media Dan Scavino shared these photos of the crowd:

Although Trump frequently criticizes his Democratic opponents in his speeches, he also criticized Mitt Romney. He said Romney “couldn’t be elected dogcatcher in Utah right now.”

He also referenced Nancy Pelosi’s secret visit to a hair salon that later went viral and said the salon owner “can do my hair any time.”

WSAW reported that some people drove 12 hours to get to the event and others even flew in.

During the speech, Trump announced that Wisconsin dairy farmers and cranberry growers would benefit from a $13 billion federal aid package, WPR reported.

He also bragged about how much better he believed Mike Pence would do than Kamala Harris in their debate.
