HARRISBURG, PA. — Jerry Dobihal came into the Pennsylvania Farm Show auditorium here with two Donald Trump buttons tacked on his cowboy hat, 15 colored markers and a large sign: "My President Skipped Dinner to Give Us DESSERT." By evening's end, more than 200 people had scribbled a rainbow of notes, covering every inch of the poster. "I LOVE YOU DT," one read.
For trading his tuxedo for a farm arena here, where the faint smell of cow dung occasionally wafted in, Trump got what he wanted: a showdown with the Washington media that he claims to despise but deeply covets, as well as praise for being a man-of-the-people, even though he has donned tuxedos at Manhattan's swankiest galas for decades.
