President Donald Trump, a white eighty-year-old man in a blue suit, walks past a crowd barrier at an indoor political rally while supporters behind the barrier wave, cheer, and hold up smartphones to take photos. Several people wear red caps and patriotic clothing. Photographers kneel near the front of the crowd, and the background shows the interior of a large event venue.
