With that in mind, we set out to record the shouts, slogans, imprecations and interactions among audience members that set Trump events apart from other political gatherings. The resulting compilation gives a sense of what we saw – from Maine to North Carolina, from Ohio to Arizona. We also obtained recordings from others in attendance, who sometimes were closer to the action.
