‘March 4 Trump’ supporters rally on LI, NYC, other cities
“Spirit of America” rallies were held throughout the country on Saturday, including in Bucks County.
Things turned violent at one point as a group of around 100 people just outside the rotunda clashed with Trump’s supporters. “Accusing someone of being a racist does not make them a racist”.
“We need to stop worrying about the rest of the world and start worrying about us”, Reed said. “I ain’t exhausted of winning”. She called the crowd “brave” for backing Trump, whose “only special interest is you guys”. The crowd responded with a resounding “No!” “I know a lot of people have a problem with making American citizens a priority, it’s beyond me, but it seems like some people do”. There was some push from protesters against Trump to get in the crowd, which police stopped according to co-organizer Steve Gill.
Castro said she was a lifelong Democrat, but she chose to vote for President Trump because she was attracted to his blunt honesty. We just don’t want him to be disheartened.
“We love Trump, we love Trump!”, roared out of today’s rally. “Cause we’re going to take the country in the direction it should be going, instead of the direction it has been going for at least the last 16 years”.
Colleen laughed. “You don’t own a gun”, she said.
Fellow Trump delegate Robert “Barry” Casper, an insurance broker from Hilltown who serves on the Pennridge school board, encouraged rally participants to “keep showing up”. Casper said the turnout on the cold day brought him to tears.
While numerous rallies around the country have remained peaceful, some supporters are clashing with counter-protesters at a march in Berkeley, California. The rally was held in conjunction with hundreds of marches worldwide, including an event in Washington, D.C., that drew an estimated 500,000 people to the Washington Mall.
It’s all to show pride in the country, and the new president. We the people elected him.
“We can talk about God again”, Pat Young said.
“Republicans showed deference to Barack Obama as the Commander-in-Chief, that’s all we’re asking for, respect for the office”, Kaufmann said.
The Minnesota rally began at noon and runs until 4 p.m.
Trump has become a controversial political figure.
