 The Saturday rally at the Butler Farm showgrounds about 40 miles north of Pittsburgh started the way all Trump rallies do, with Lee Greenwood's 1984 anthem, God Bless the USA. A crowd estimated in the thousands had gathered beneath blue skies, many waiting two hours for Trump to arrive. Bleachers filled with his supporters were set up behind and on either side of the stage, where the former president stepped behind a lectern and began speaking at 6.02 p.m.
