DONALD Trump is set to give another fiery speech to his fans tonight.
Former President Trump is due to speak in Florence, South Carolina, at 7pm ET.
He’ll be joined on stage by a number of Republican and state officials, as well as former college football coach Lou Holtz.
The rally comes after Trump asked his supporters for cash to fund his new private jet in an email earlier this week.
The plan was announced after his current jet was forced to make an emergency landing last weekend.
“Before becoming the greatest President of all time, I traveled the Country in my plane, known as Trump Force One,” Trump’s email states.
“I have a very important update on my plane, but I need to trust that you won’t share it with anyone: my team is building a BRAND NEW Trump Force One.”
