Trump autographs pumpkin at Maine campaign event: ‘It’ll be on eBay tonight’

President Trump autographed a pumpkin at a Maine campaign event, joking that, “it’ll be on eBay tonight.”

The president visited with hundreds of supporters at the Treworgy Family Orchard in Levant, Maine, on Sunday after a campaign rally in Londonderry, N.H., earlier in the day. 

Trump signed a pumpkin at the orchard six days ahead of Halloween and nine days before Election Day. 

“It’ll be on eBay tonight,” he said. 

The president also said he planned to bring a bag of apples home to the White House. 

“I’m very impressed, and I’m very impressed with Maine, and I hope we’re going to do well,” Trump said. 

Trump’s supporters gathered at the orchard, with many not wearing masks, meeting the president with chants of “USA” and “four more years.” The president also signed hats during the event.
