President Donald Trump addressed affordability and the economy during a stop in Rome on Thursday.
The president made remarks to a crowd of supporters at Coosa Steel Corporation on Darlington Drive.
Demonstrators lined Turner McCall Boulevard and East First Street as Trump made a quick visit to the Varsity.
