I am at the #Valdosta Trump rally. Cell signal is virtually unusable, so I’ll likely be confined to filming what I can and releasing it all later, but I’ll try to provide updates here if at all possible.

“Santa Q” is here greeting people on line to the busses.

“Ho! Ho! Ho! Do you believe in Q?” he’s asking people on line.

This is a look at the security line at the #Valdosta Trump rally. People have been entering since 4pm, some of whom had been waiting since as early as 7am according to reporting by @BGOnTheScene earlier today.

After going through Secret Service etc, private security inside the event physically forced me to leave the Valdosta rally for having a DSLR camera.

When I showed credential they simply said “Secret Service allows it, we don’t” and then forced me to leave.

I’m now outside rally

A few hundred outside the rally watching on large screen.

Cycle of busses takes audience here from parking.

Supposedly there’s about 60 busses holding about 100 each which made 4 laps each, which means at least roughly 24,000 attendees inside.

Here’s (accidentally captured) video of the Trump private security who forced me to leave the rally for having a camera after I got in.

Here’s footage from my phone of the moment President Trump got off Air Force One at the #Valdosta rally.

Trump #Valdosta rally is ongoing, but I’m on the line to get onto busses to get back to parking lot. Here’s a current view of the line.

Just got on the bus, which gave me a moving view of the people still on line to leave the Trump rally.

I’d estimate the wait at a couple hours for those unfortunate enough to be toward the end of the line.
