President Trump is set to make his first public appearance since a gunman opened fire inside the Washington Hilton Hotel and allegedly attempted to take the life of the president during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
The 47th President is scheduled to speak in The Villages, Florida, and massive lines have already formed outside the charter school where Trump’s speech will take place.
Take a look:

WESH provided further details on Trump’s scheduled event in The Villages:
President Trump will visit Central Florida on Friday.
ADVERTISEMENTTrump is expected to give remarks at The Villages Charter School in Sumterville. Several roads will be closed in the area.
The event is scheduled for 3 p.m. at the school, located at 2210 Dr. Randy McDaniel Way.
Crowds of Trump supporters started lining up outside the school early in the morning.
He is expected to discuss topics such as no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security and putting seniors and workers first.
Fox News reported that one man slept in line all night on an air mattress:

Now that’s dedication!
A major concern among Trump supporters is how tight security will be at the event, given the recent security breaches the Secret Service has faced.
A high schooler who will be attending the event believes the Secret Service has learned from their security lapses and will do a good job protecting Trump.
