MELBOURNE, Fla. - Fresh off Monday night's presidential debate, Republican Donald Trump campaigned in Brevard County on Tuesday, arriving like a rock star at Melbourne International Airport.
Trump's personal passenger jet rolled up to a waiting stairway outside the AeroMod hangar, where inside, an estimated 10,000 people waited to hear him speak.
"Almost every single poll had us winning the debate against crooked Hillary Clinton," he told the cheering crowd. "Big league. Big league."
Trump talked about lowering taxes, tightening immigration laws and fighting terrorism.
"We've seen one Islamic terror attack after another," he said. "We've seen the horrors thrust upon Orlando where the attack happened at the Pulse Nightclub."
Trump claimed the crowd grew to more than 20,000 while he was talking.
Most of the people stood in long lines outside the Melbourne airport for hours in the hot afternoon sun. Temperatures reached 90 degrees across Central Florida on Tuesday.
