Amidst Donald Trump's latest Twitter tantrums targeting a CNN reporter, threatening to revoke the U.S.'s newly restored relations with Cuba, and saying people should lose citizenship for burning American flags, his team is preparing to kick off a "thank you tour" for the president-elect. Trump will begin holding rallies in honor of his electoral college victory starting in Ohio on Thursday, Bloomberg reports.

Trump's camp announced earlier this month that he'd be going on a "thank you tour," hitting up the states that were pivotal in his landslide Electoral College win on Nov. 8 (despite losing the popular vote by more than 2 million votes). 

Rallies seemed to be one of Trump's favorite things about campaigning; he constantly tweeted about the crowds that came out to support him while he was running against Hillary Clinton. Clips of his rallies went viral across social media networks as Trumps supporters would frequently become violent against protesters who attended rallies in order to disrupt them. 

Bloomberg further reports that more stops on the tour will be announced after Trump goes to Cincinnati, Ohio on Thursday. Trump won in several states that Obama carried in both of his elections: Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Florida, so residents in those states might expect the president-elect to make an appearance, according to George Gigicos, Trump's director of advance earlier in November. 

Jennifer Jacobs, a reporter for Bloomberg tweeted Tuesday that the second stop is tentatively scheduled for Des Moines, Iowa. 

The 2nd stop on Trump's "thank you tour" is tentatively scheduled for Des Moines, Iowa in early December, transition officials tell me.
