WATCH: Trump Makes PA Announcement MAGA Rally Cancelled Due to Weather, Advises Rallygoers ‘Leave The Site and Seek Shelter’
Donald Trump announced on Saturday the cancellation of his rally in Wilmington, North Carolina due to severe weather, including lightning and high winds moving into the coastal city.
At the Wilmington airport rally for President Trump on Saturday, lightning and high winds were noticeable on live streams for a while before eventually the large American flag above the stage was taken down to get it out of the weather.
A short time later, the music cut off and an apparent phone call between Trump and his team who were monitoring conditions could be heard over the speaker system.
Once they told Trump he was live to the crowd, he made the announcement that the event was being postponed due to the weather conditions.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is Donald Trump, your favorite president of all time, hopefully. As you can see, there’s some very bad weather heading in and we’re flying in in a few minutes, but they really would prefer that we not come in because it’s a certain danger to all of this. And we want to make sure that everybody is safe above all.
And so they’ve asked us to ask people to leave the site and seek shelter. And what we’ll do is we’ll make up for this very quickly at another time. But we’ll do it as quick as possible. And we’re devastated that this could happen, but we want to keep everybody safe. That’s the most important thing. And we want everybody there to be 100% safe. It seems to be some thunder and lightning, and it’s a pretty big storm.
So if you don’t mind, I think we’re going to have to just do a rain check. I’m so sad. I’m in North Carolina right now and waiting to go in, but they’re saying the weather is really getting bad, really, really getting bad. So we have to rely on the weather service and some of the officials. And I just want to thank you. I’m so sorry.
But we’ll do it again and we’ll do it bigger and better. And you have my you have my promise. Same, same location. And thank you all very much. Thank you everybody God be with you. Thank you.
