KITTANING, Pennsylvania -- Jennifer Krantz was in the checkout line at Sprankle's grocery store in this Armstrong County city with her three boys, Brayden, Eddie and Frederick, along with her husband, Bryant, when former President Donald Trump handed the clerk waiting on them a $100 bill.
"Here, it is going to go down a little bit," Trump told the clerk, to everyone's astonishment.
"(Krantz's bill) is going to go down $100," Trump said.
"Thank you so much," Krantz said, a little stunned by the help. Afterward, she said her cousin owns the store and that she was just hoping to do two things that day: buy her groceries and catch a glimpse of Trump.
Krantz told me as Trump was walking out of the store that having three active, growing boys means buying a lot of groceries, "and that has put a big strain on our budget. It has been very difficult."
The visit to Kittanning was the second of three stops the former president made during his visit to Western Pennsylvania last week. He traversed over 100 miles throughout Allegheny, Armstrong, Indiana and Westmoreland counties.
Meandering through mostly back roads, all along the way, Trump's motorcade was greeted by thousands of people gathering in front of their small towns, suburban bedroom enclaves, or standing in front of their farms with their tractors or cows, waving Terrible Towels, makeshift Trump signs or official Trump-Vance flags. And even along the jersey barriers of the halted traffic on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, people stood on top of their cars or in front of them to wave.
