ASHEBORO, N.C. (AP) — Donald Trump held his first outdoor rally since an attempted assassination last month in Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump’s podium at the North Carolina Aviation Museum & Hall of Fame is surrounded by panes of bulletproof glass that form a protective wall across the stage. Storage containers have also been stacked around the perimeter of the space to create additional walls and block sight lines at the venue, where old aircraft have been positioned behind the podium and a large American flag is suspended from cranes. He is set to deliver remarks on national security Wednesday afternoon as part of his counter-programming efforts during the Democratic National Convention.  (Photo:  AP)
