舞厅。认知测试。男性体魄。随着总统唐纳德·特朗普在深红色的美国腹地疾行，为中期选举季画上句号，他向选民传递的信息已转向一些意想不到的领域。
Ballrooms. Cognitive tests. The male physique. As President Donald Trump closes out the midterm election season with a sprint through ruby red America, his message to voters has veered into some unexpected places.
比以往任何时候都更甚，他的行程之所以引人注目，是因为它们只关乎一件事：特朗普本人。他对选民的信息是：假装他在选票上，无论他变得多么不受欢迎。对国家走向的担忧，或生活成本的问题，大多被推到了一边。
More than ever before, his stops have been remarkable because they’re about one thing: Trump himself. His message to voters is to pretend he’s on the ballot, no matter how unpopular he’s become. Concerns about the direction of the country, or the cost of living, are mostly shoved to the side.
乘坐“空军一号”飞往几个月前甚至不被视为竞争激烈的州，特朗普私下里感叹，他现在举办的集会很可能是他作为该党旗帜性人物举办的最后一批集会。
Jetting on Air Force One to states not considered competitive even a few months ago, Trump has privately reflected that the rallies he’s holding now are likely the last where he’s the party’s standard-bearer.
这使得他本月举办的20多场活动，或许成了这一独特政治现象——特朗普集会——的最终形态。
That makes the 20-odd events he’s held this month perhaps the final iteration of the singular political function that is a Trump rally.
在某些方面，这让这轮攻势带上了告别巡演的意味。那个靠着一场场喧闹的集会改变了共和党和国家政治的男人，如今正随着《YMCA》的节拍舞离舞台。CNN记者在过去两周里跟随总统跨越全美采访集会，足迹遍及堪萨斯、北卡罗来纳、南卡罗来纳、爱荷华、佛罗里达、佐治亚、密西西比、德克萨斯和俄亥俄等州——观察总统的现场表现，并与前来观看的人群交谈。以下是我们一线记者的所见所感。
In some ways, that has given the onslaught the flavor of a farewell tour. The man who transformed the GOP and the nation’s politics, rally by raucous rally, is now dancing off the stage to the beat of “YMCA.”CNN traveled across the country to cover the president’s rallies over the last two weeks, including to Kansas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Iowa, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Mississippi, Texas and Ohio — observing the president in action and talking to those who came to see him. Here’s what stood out to our reporters on the ground.
今年我已跟随特朗普竞选集会跑过九个州——其中一些不止一次——此前我曾报道过他2016年和2020年的总统竞选（2024年曾插播报道拜登-哈里斯竞选）。令人印象深刻的是，这段时间里，他的支持者群体构成发生了多大变化。
I’ve been to Trump campaign rallies in nine states this year — some of them multiple times — after covering his presidential campaigns in 2016 and 2020 (with a Biden-Harris detour in 2024). It’s been striking how the makeup of his crowd has changed in that time.
2015年6月，特朗普首次宣布参选的那一天，我正在得梅因的霍伊特·谢尔曼广场，那是他从特朗普大厦电梯下来后的首站。当时的人群党派构成相对均衡。很多人是出于好奇。许多是摇摆选民。大多数人只是想看看究竟。无论走到哪里我都会和与会者交谈，而在这个周期里，我遇到的几乎所有人都在投共和党全票。这些集会参加者是特朗普及其“让美国再次伟大”运动最热烈的支持者。
The day Trump first announced his candidacy in June 2015, I was at Hoyt Sherman Place in Des Moines for his first stop after coming down the Trump Tower escalator. That crowd was relatively bipartisan. A lot of people were curious. Many were undecided voters. Most just wanted to check it out. I talk to attendees everywhere I go, and this cycle, almost everyone I’ve met is voting straight-ticket Republican. These rally-goers are the most ardent supporters of Trump and his MAGA movement.
但有一个例外：堪萨斯州，这个在2024年大选中以16个百分点的优势投票给特朗普、且自1932年以来从未选出过民主党参议员的州。
But there has been one exception: Kansas, a state that voted for Trump by a 16-point margin in 2024 and hasn’t elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1932.
10月19日，在特朗普于威奇托郊区帕克城举行的集会上，我与一位年轻母亲交谈，她在共和党参议员罗杰·马歇尔和民主党候选人、大型教会牧师亚当·汉密尔顿的参议院竞选中尚未决定投给谁。她最关心的问题是：经济。
At Trump’s rally in the Wichita suburb of Park City on October 19, I talked to a young mom who was undecided in the Senate race between Republican Sen. Roger Marshall and the Democratic candidate, Adam Hamilton, a megachurch pastor. Her animating issue: the economy.
一位小企业主告诉我，他在观看特朗普的集会后决定投票给汉密尔顿。
A small business owner told me he decided to vote for Hamilton after watching Trump’s rally.
“我真心认为堪萨斯州已经受够了，我们这里有很多人会去投票，并能产生影响，”他说。
“I truly believe Kansas has had enough, and there are plenty of us here to vote and make a difference,” he said.
克莱姆森大学校园内的畜牧设施，无论字面上还是象征意义上，都是一个你会去看牛仔竞技表演的熟悉场所。
The livestock facility on the Clemson University campus was a familiar setting, both literally and figuratively, to one where you’d watch a rodeo.
10月21日，我至少目睹了十几次安保人员将闹事的抗议者带离现场。总统刚走上讲台几分钟，嘘声就开始了。“你是个罪犯！”我听到一个人大喊。“去你的！”一名年轻男子大喊，同时双手竖中指对着总统。“你是个叛徒！”另一个人尖叫。
At least a dozen times on October 21, I watched as unruly protesters were removed by security. The heckling began within minutes of the president taking the podium. “You’re a criminal!”I heard one person yell. “F**k you!” a young man shouted, while flipping the president off with both hands. “You’re a traitor!” another screamed.
特朗普——他在最近的中期选举集会上经常面对示威者，比我2024年报道他的竞选时记得的还要多——用幽默化解了这些干扰。
Trump — who has faced regular demonstrators during his recent midterm rallies, more than I recall from covering his campaign in 2024 — brushed the disruptions off with humor.
“我不介意他们那样做，但总是正好在我讲到包袱的时候，”他在遭遇三次打断后开玩笑说。“我有三个包袱，他们把握时机把握得真好。”“这些人是彻头彻尾的失败者，”他说。
“I don’t mind when they do that, but it’s always right at my punchline,” he joked following a trio of interruptions. “I’ve had three punchlines, and they time them beautifully.”“These people are serious losers,” he said.
特朗普在重返佛罗里达州西南部时如鱼得水——这是一个深红地区，所在州在过去十年里可靠地投给了共和党。
Trump was in his element during his return to southwest Florida — a deep-red area of a state that’s voted reliably Republican for the last decade.
但总统不得不在10月23日花费宝贵时间来到这里，这鲜明地表明共和党面临更广泛的麻烦。他在演讲中花费大量篇幅恳请满座的观众为竞选下层职位的候选人投票。有时，他似乎难以置信佛罗里达州的关键竞选竟然胶着到需要他出面干预。
But the fact that the president even had to spend precious time here on October 23 was a stark sign of the wider troubles the GOP faces. He devoted long portions of his speech pleading with the capacity crowd to turn out for downballot candidates. And at times, he seemed in disbelief that key races in Florida were close enough to require his intervention.
“安吉·尼克松——我简直不敢相信。我简直不敢相信，”特朗普谈到民主党参议员候选人时说，这位民主社会主义者正大力推进竞选，试图击败共和党参议员阿什利·穆迪。“为什么我不能有那样的对手竞争？为什么不行，阿什利？”特朗普花费有限时间谈论伊朗战争和上涨的汽油价格——这些因素让佛罗里达州变得有竞争力。相反，他将中期选举定性为又一次忠诚度测试：如果选民支持他，他们就需要再去投票一次。
“Angie Nixon — I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe it,” Trump said of Democrats’ Senate candidate, a Democratic socialist making a strong push to unseat Republican Sen. Ashley Moody. “Why can’t I have a candidate like that to run against? Why can’t I, Ashley?”Trump spent limited time discussing the Iran war and rising gas prices that have made Florida competitive. Instead, he framed the midterms as another loyalty test: If voters supported him, they needed to go to the polls one more time.
“在这次选举中，我请求你们假装我在选票上，如果你们不介意的话，”他说。
“In this election, I’m asking you to pretend that I’m on the ballot, if you don’t mind,” he said.
10月24日在佐治亚州佩里发生的引人注目的一刻是，特朗普断言美国正在石油上“赚取数千亿、数万亿美元”，而此时民众面临着高昂的加油价格。
The moment that stood out in Perry, Georgia, on October 24 was Trump’s assertion that the United States is “making hundreds and hundreds of billions, trillions of dollars” in oil at a time when people are facing high prices at the pump.
似乎意识到这种脱节，总统承认助手们建议他不要提汽油价格和石油。“我的人说，‘先生，请别提那个！’”他说。
Appearing to recognize the disconnect, the president acknowledged his aides had advised him not to mention gas prices and oil. “My people said, ‘please don’t mention that, sir!’” he said.
特朗普说，媒体稍后会报道“特朗普总统谈论我们赚了多少钱，而民众在加油站受苦”，这成了一种自我实现的预言。“我才不在乎呢！我就要说。我们赚得盆满钵满！”他大声喊道。
Trump said the media would later report that “President Trump is talking about all the money we are making while people are suffering at the pump,” in a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy. “I don’t give a damn! I’m going to say it. We’re making a freaking fortune!” he thundered.
人群爆发出欢呼声。但我也注意到，后排一些靠近媒体看台位置的人互相对视，一脸难以置信。
The crowd erupted in cheers. But I also noticed that some people in the back, closer to where the media riser was, looked at each other in disbelief.
当特朗普于10月25日在密歇根州波特休伦登台时，他心中想着另一位总统。
When Trump took the stage in Port Huron, Michigan, on October 25, he had another president on his mind.
“我的竞争对手昨天来过这里，”他指的是前总统奥巴马。“他没有像这样的群众。”特朗普现身这座与加拿大接壤的密歇根城市，与奥巴马在底特律的集会相隔不到24小时。（我两场都参加了，尽管特朗普声称奥巴马的活动“稀稀拉拉”，但每场都有大量人群。）这个周末呈现出罕见而引人注目的分屏画面：两位总统为国家提供了相互竞争的愿景。
“My competitor was here yesterday,” he said referring to former President Barack Obama. “He didn’t have a crowd like this.”Trump’s appearance in the Michigan city bordering Canada came within the same 24-hour span as Obama’s rally in Detroit. (I attended both, and each had sizable crowds, despite Trump’s claim Obama’s event was “sparse.”) The weekend showcased a rare and remarkable split screen between two presidents offering their competing visions for the country.
距离大选还有九天，特朗普似乎高度聚焦于两件事——对密歇根州民主党参议员提名人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德发动反穆斯林攻击，以及谈论人们的屁股，包括俄亥俄州共和党参议员乔恩·休斯特的。
With the election nine days away, Trump appeared hyper focused on two things — lobbing anti-Muslim attacks against Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed and musing about people’s posteriors, including that of Ohio GOP Sen. Jon Husted.
“我看了（休斯特的）屁股，我以前从未对男人这么做过。场外话：女人可以，男人不行，”特朗普说。他单独点名了一位女性。
“I looked at (Husted’s) ass, and I’ve never done that with a man before. Off the record: Women yes, men no,” Trump said. He singled out one woman.
“顺便说一句，我以前看过一个极其漂亮的屁股，妮琪·米娜，”特朗普说，请这位说唱歌手、他的盟友站起来。“那很难忽视。”特朗普名义上是为共和党参议员提名人迈克·罗杰斯助选，但这种评论似乎更多是为了取悦他崇拜的群众，而不是试图在一个因高油价和他与加拿大的贸易战而受重创的州里动摇选民。
“By the way, I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before, Nicki Minaj,” Trump said, asking the rapper, an ally of his, to stand up. “That’s hard to miss.”Trump was technically there to campaign for GOP Senate nominee Mike Rogers, but that type of commentary seemed more about entertaining his adoring crowd than trying to move the needle with voters in a state hit hard by high gas prices and his trade war with Canada.
特朗普也对罗杰斯抛出了一个带调侃意味的赞美——前提是能帮他赢。
Trump teased a compliment for Rogers too — if it would help him win.
“如果能让你稳操胜券，迈克，我对你的屁股也会这么说。我什么都愿意干，因为我们非得让你当选不可，”他说。
“I’d say that about your ass, too, Mike, if it gets you a guaranteed victory. I’ll do anything because we got to get you in,” he said.
在集会上大谈特谈自己的装修工程，对特朗普来说并不罕见，尽管他的许多顾问希望他在距离白宫数千英里、永远无法看到或受益于这些工程的观众面前避谈此事。
Extensive recounting of his renovation projects is not unusual for Trump during his rallies, even though many of his advisers would prefer he avoid the topic when speaking to audiences thousands of miles away from the White House who will never see or benefit from the work.
特朗普没有采纳这一建议，10月26日在密西西比州，他似乎对奥巴马将他的设计品味比作“萨达姆·侯赛因”开“芝士蛋糕工厂”感到特别恼火。特朗普宣称芝士蛋糕工厂是一家“非常成功的公司”，说奥巴马根本不懂总统维护建筑的当务之急。
Trump has not taken that advice, and in Mississippi on October 26, he seemed particularly agitated that Obama had maligned his design taste as akin to “Saddam Hussein” opening “a Cheesecake Factory.”Declaring the Cheesecake Factory a “very successful company,” Trump said Obama just didn’t understand the presidential imperative of building maintenance.
“白宫代表我们的国家，必须保持完好无损，”他说。“我会试着向奥巴马这样的人解释这一点，但他不会懂。”特朗普坚称他在装修项目上实际花费的时间很少，但随后详细描述了他修缮北门廊灰泥和在南草坪安装新直升机停机坪的努力。
“The White House represents our country, and that has to be pristine,” he said. “And I would try and explain that to a guy like Obama, but he wouldn’t understand.”Trump insisted he was actually spending very little time on the projects, but went on to describe in detail his efforts to repair the North Portico’s plaster and install a new helipad on the South Lawn.
在十字路口竞技场内，这些细节并未引来特别热烈的掌声。一度，一名抗议者高喊：“把那舞厅塞进你肥屁股里”，声音在现场和镜头前都极其清晰。
Inside the Crossroads Arena, those details were not met with particularly rapturous applause. At one point, a protester screamed, “Shove that ballroom up your fat ass,” in a voice that was extremely clear in the room and on-camera.
距离大选还有一周，特朗普踏上竞选之路，在得克萨斯州接连举行两场集会，分别在科珀斯克里斯蒂和拉伯克，为共和党参议员提名人肯·帕克斯顿助选。
One week out from the election, Trump hit the campaign trail for a Texas two-step with rallies in Corpus Christi and Lubbock for GOP Senate nominee Ken Paxton.
10月27日两场集会上，特朗普都抛出诱饵：如果共和党赢得众参两院控制权，将给美国人发放5000美元支票。在科珀斯克里斯蒂，他邀请选民去海湖庄园花这笔钱——随后调侃说他们根本消费不起。
At both stops on October 27, Trump dangled $5,000 checks for Americans if Republicans win control of the House and Senate. In Corpus Christi, he invited voters to spend their cash payment at Mar-a-Lago — before quipping they wouldn’t be able to afford it.
“你甚至可以去海湖庄园，”特朗普说。“问题是，花 5000 美元，你最多只能买个汉堡，也许再加个小甜点。我甚至不确定你能不能买得起这些。别去那儿。如果你在乎价格，那可不是个好去处。”这个玩笑是特朗普爱偏离主题、逗乐人群的一个缩影——其结果有时会让共和党内其他人感到尴尬，尤其是在物价负担能力仍是选民首要关切之际。
“You could even come to Mar-a-Lago,” Trump said. “The problem is that for $5,000, the most you’ll be able to buy is a hamburger and maybe a small dessert. I’m not even sure you could buy that. No, don’t go there. That’s not a good place if you’re price conscious.”The joke is an example of Trump’s propensity for going off message to entertain his crowd — with results that sometimes make others in the GOP cringe, especially as affordability remains a top concern for voters.
原本预计特朗普将与三名有得克萨斯州渊源的知名橄榄球运动员一同造势；最终只有两人现身。当天晚些时候，特朗普在拉伯克与帕克斯顿同台造势，该县位于得克萨斯州西北部，他在上届大选中以 40 个百分点的优势拿下该县。
Trump had been expected to campaign with three prominent football players with Texas roots; ultimately, only two showed up. Later in the day, Trump campaigned with Paxton in Lubbock, a northwestern Texas county he won by 40 points in the last election.
“能跟美国总统混上一整天，挺有意思的，”帕克斯顿在台上说。“抵达拉伯克时，他说：‘你知道吗，我通常不会为任何人开两场集会。’他说：‘我肯定挺喜欢你的。’总统先生，我也挺喜欢您的。”在多个造势点，特朗普对 2026 年竞选周期中可以说最具两极分化的一则广告进行了冗长辩护：该广告邀请了俄亥俄州民主党籍州长候选人艾米·阿克顿的生母出镜。
“It’s pretty fun to hang out with the president of the United States for a whole day,” Paxton said on stage. “As we were arriving in Lubbock, he said, ‘You know, I don’t usually do two rallies for anybody.’ He said, ‘I must really like you.’ Mr. President, I really like you too.”In multiple stops, Trump delivered a lengthy defense of what has become arguably the most polarizing ad of the 2026 campaign cycle: a spot featuring the estranged mother of Ohio’s Democratic gubernatorial nominee, Amy Acton.
这则广告出自俄亥俄州共和党籍州长候选人维韦克·拉马斯瓦米的竞选团队，遭到两党广泛谴责，现任共和党籍州长迈克·德怀恩也加入了谴责行列。
The ad — which came from Ohio GOP gubernatorial nominee Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign — has been widely condemned on both sides of the aisle, including by current Republican Gov. Mike DeWine.
广告中，阿克顿的母亲称女儿为“骗子”。阿克顿表示，自 12 岁起就没再见过母亲，当时她的继父因性虐待她被大陪审团起诉，母亲随之丧失了子女监护权。
Acton’s mother calls her daughter a “liar” in the ad. Acton has said she hasn’t seen her mother since she was 12, when her mother lost custody of her children as Acton’s stepfather was indicted by a grand jury on charges of sexually abusing her.
在广告开始播出后首次造访“七叶树州”（注：俄亥俄州别称），特朗普对包括拉马斯瓦米在内的现场观众表示，任何反对声音都是“非常不公平的”。“母亲说，女儿艾米·阿克顿是个骗子。说她一无是处。说她撒谎诋毁对手。这怎么会是他的问题？非常不公平，”特朗普于10月28日说道，引发现场体育馆观众雷鸣般的掌声。
In his first trip to the Buckeye State since the ad began to air, Trump told a crowd that included Ramaswamy that any pushback was “very unfair.”“The mother said that Amy Acton, the daughter, is a liar. That she’s no good. That she lied about the opponent. How the hell is that his problem? Very unfair,” Trump said on October 28, prompting raucous applause from a gymnasium crowd.
特朗普在前一周于爱荷华州苏城同样力挺该广告。当时颇为尴尬的是，他表面上是为竞选参议员的共和党众议员阿什利·辛森造势，而辛森当天早些时候曾谴责该广告“荒谬”，并称其“必须撤下”。辛森在台下观看特朗普讲述他声称本周早些时候与拉马斯瓦米的对话。特朗普说，他曾敦促拉马斯瓦米无视共和党内要求撤下广告的呼声。随后，特朗普邀请辛森上台，她对此只字未提。
Trump similarly embraced the ad in Sioux City, Iowa, the week before. What made that moment somewhat awkward was that the candidate he was ostensibly there to stump for — GOP Rep. Ashley Hinson, who is running for Senate — had earlier in the day decried the ad as “ridiculous” and said it “needs to come down.”Hinson was watching off-stage as Trump recounted a conversation he said he had earlier in the week with Ramaswamy. Trump said he urged Ramaswamy to buck Republican calls to take the ad down. Later, the president summoned Hinson on stage, and she didn’t mention it.
这又是特朗普让处境艰难的共和党人陷入两难的一个例证。在飞机库内聆听他的演讲，不难理解为何许多共和党人希望他专注于那些更能明确驱动本方选民投票率的议题。
It was another example of Trump putting vulnerable Republicans in tough spots. And listening to his speech inside an airplane hangar, it was evident why so many Republicans wish he would stick to issues that are clearer drivers of turnout on their side.
10月29日在南卡罗来纳州，特朗普对近期民调表现出极度执着——坚称媒体发布的民调“非真实”且“完全造假”。他对测试其支持率的民调尤为恼火。
Trump was hyper-fixated on recent polling while in South Carolina on October 29 — insisting that surveys published by the media are “not real” and “totally phony.”He took particular umbrage with polls testing his approval rating.
“他们满嘴胡说。‘唐纳德·特朗普支持率42%。’ 42%？你是说乘以二？再加20。天哪，他们真烂。他们是病态的人。假民调，”他说道。
“They are so full of it. ‘Donald Trump is at 42%.’ 42%? You mean times two? And add 20. Boy, they are bad. They’re sick people. Fake polls,” he said.
不清楚总统引用的是哪项民调。CNN的民调平均值显示，他的支持率为34%。在抨击近期民调数分钟后，特朗普自行进行了一次民调。
It wasn’t clear which poll the president was referencing. CNN’s Poll of Polls average puts his approval rating at 34%. After criticizing recent polls for several minutes, Trump took a poll of his own.
“让我问你们一个问题：有多少民调，在座有多少人曾被民调过？有人被民调过吗？说真的。举手看看，”他问道，现场观众戴着许多“让美国再次伟大”（MAGA）帽子，身穿闪亮的特朗普周边服饰。“我很好奇。反正我作为共和党人，从未认识一个被民调过的人。”极少数与会者——我数了大概十几人——举起了手。
“Let me ask you a question: How many polls, how many people in this room were ever polled? Has anybody been polled? Seriously. Raise your hand,” he asked the crowd, which was filled with MAGA hats and sparkly Trump garb. “I’m curious. I’ve never known one person as a Republican anyway.”Very few attendees — I counted maybe a dozen in the room — raised their hands.
虽然总统和许多共和党操盘手迅速将民调斥为常常出错或低估共和党选民，但很难忽视特朗普在稳固红州投入的时间和精力。
While the president and many GOP operatives have been quick to dismiss polls as often being wrong or undercounting Republican voters, it’s harder to discount the time and energy Trump has spent in reliably red states.
“还有什么比特朗普集会更棒的吗？”总统在选举日前的周五登台后不久问道。
“Is there anything better than a Trump rally?” the president asked soon after taking the stage on the Friday before Election Day.
稍早那天，这场集会一度看起来将是最后一场，随后将在海湖庄园度过一个轻松的周末。在之前24小时内，他原定周末在堪萨斯州和爱荷华州的集会先被取消，又重新列入日程。
For a moment earlier that day, it seemed like this rally could be the grand finale, with a restful weekend at Mar-a-Lago on the horizon. Within the previous 24 hours, his planned weekend rallies in Kansas and Iowa had been cancelled and then put back on his schedule.
“我以为这将是我的最后一场，”特朗普对佛罗里达现场观众说。“我以为可以放松一下。”声音听起来沙哑，总统抱怨过去一个月的辛劳。“连续二十八天搞这一套太多了。太多了。我的嗓子大概只剩49.2%功力。”据CNN报道，在团队决定让他通过电话集会发表周末收官论点后，总统对媒体关于取消活动的报道感到恼火。
“I thought this was going to be my last one,” Trump told the crowd in Florida. “I thought I could relax.”His voice sounding hoarse, the president lamented the toll of the past month. “Twenty-eight days in a row of this crap is lot. It’s a lot. My voice is about operating at about 49.2%.”After his team decided he’d deliver his weekend closing arguments via telerally, the president grew irked at the media coverage of the cancelled events, CNN reported.
但在特朗普于佛罗里达的讲述中，那些州的共和党人请他亲自前往。“我说，‘这有关系吗？’他们说，‘我们只想确保赢下选举。’”又一场90分钟的集会似乎让他确信自己仍有精力继续奔波。
But in Trump’s telling in Forida, Republicans in those states asked him to come in person. “I said, ‘Does it matter?’ They said, ‘We just want to make sure that we win.”Another 90-minute rally seemed to convince him that he had juice for more.
“所以周日，当你们都在看橄榄球时，我将乘坐一架非常漂亮的飞机前往爱荷华州、堪萨斯州。”
“And so on Sunday, while you’re all watching football, I’ll be traveling in a very beautiful airplane to Iowa, to Kansas.”
