Step right up, children of Ottumwa, Cedar Rapids and Sioux City! No tickets needed – just put on your 'Make America Great Again!'™ cap and make your way to the front of the line for a ride on Donald Trump's flying fortress.

It's the silly season in America's midwest, and for eleven days beginning on August 13 Iowans will converge on the state fairgrounds for livestock shows, country music, fried Oreos, games, carnival rides – and pitches from presidential candidates.

This year's main attraction, if Trump has his way, will be his $7 million Sikorsky S-76 helicopter – a one-of-a-kind campaign tool available only for children who want to see what cornfields look like from 5,000 feet above the dirt.

The billionaire told DailyMail.com on Wednesday in an exclusive interview that he's asked the Iowa State Fair for permission to set up the thrill ride at his own risk and expense.

Bad move on Trump’s part. One negative incident will feed the Clinton trash machine and provide considerable exposure to liability. I would not be surprised if the Clinton faction is already looking for a suitable “victim” to take advantage of the opportunity.

Those lucky children will never forget that! That should inspire them to aspire to do something outstanding in the future.

Trump could easily do something with his hair. Lord only knows he’s got the bucks to pay a pro to fix it, therefore I assume he’s proud of his trademark hair mess.

American politics is about to change.

Trump is a very creative guy is a practical, common sense kind of way.

That family doesn’t look the slightest bit upset at trump.

They’re having a hoot with the prop though.

Funny...

Trump should make his own brand of pinatas of himself...filled with candy and sent to his Hispanic supporters for their kids.

Perhaps a little smaller than the one in the photo.

You can’t win by being defensive, by being afraid to do something because you might piss someone off or get sued. Be sure of the facts and of yourself...and then Red Ball Express it!
