"I think it's great. I think it's a real honor to be here," Trump told reporters in brief remarks while at the fairgrounds. "We had a record that was set. This was the largest crowd they've ever had and I can see that because you can't get any more people here."

While the official numbers for the Iowa State Fair have yet to be released for Saturday, the attendance record is likely to be broken. According to KCCI 8, on Thursday, the first day of the fair, 87,380 attendees showed up thus beating 2022's first-day attendance. If that trend continues, Saturday's numbers, particularly with President Trump's appearance are likely to break the attendance record if not rival some of the fair's biggest years.

Iowa loves President Trump and his dominance at the Iowa State Fair shows just how powerful of a force he is in the Hawkeye State.
