Supporters gather for ‘March 4 Trump’ rallies across US

Numerous rallies drew only a few hundred people, much smaller than the President’s inauguration day rally, and anti-trump rallies that followed. One of the speakers, state Sen. A self-described person of color and homosexual, he said Trump had brought him to Berkeley. “Why? Because we’re all Americans”.

They’re called Spirit of America rallies.

Linda Clanahan prays before the beginning of a rally outside the Missouri state capitol building on Saturday. Some wore ties and slacks. “We’ve got to get the whole country united behind this man”, said Richard Brozell, 75, who attended a rally with his wife, braving frigid temperatures that dipped into the mid-20s as well as a frigid wind chill in a bid to support the president.

“They are going to push us to retaliate”.

Daniel said the country is being lost to immigrants.

“I have safety concerns”, he said. “That’s kind of where I’m coming from”.

President Trump has been in office for a little over a month and a half.

“You have got to accept opposing opinions even if they come from people who despise and loath you”, said Jim Worthington.

The state Democratic Party said Trump is not making good on his promises.

“I feel that Donald Trump’s performance has been Trump-tastic”. What he says he does support is free speech – a right he believes was violated when a lecture by former Breitbart Editor Milo Yiannopolous was canceled amid protests and vandalism.

“Right now we’re continuing to monitor the situation”, White said. “And sooner or later we’re going to run out of money and who is going to come help us”, Fred Guercio said.

The event was one of a series of rallies against and for the president since he was inaugurated.

In Florida, near Mar-a-Lago, people on both sides exchanged profanity, the Palm Beach Post reported.

Police said 10 people were arrested and seven suffered injuries at a “March 4 Trump” rally Saturday afternoon in downtown Berkeley. That didn’t seem to be the case Saturday: Reports from cities around the country counted larger crowds of pro-Trump demonstrators than liberal counter-protesters.

A contingent of Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers watched from nearby, but the arguments did not escalate.

At Trump Tower, a couple hundred supporters gathered and chanted “U-S-A” and held signs with messages such as: “Yes he is our president”.

“I’m concerned with his Cabinet positions and their connections with Russian Federation and Putin”, said Harper. His nephew Patrick Harlan opposed U.S. Rep. Cheri Bustos, D-Moline, in Illinois’ 17th Congressional district in the last election.

For the most part, however, the demonstrations have been peaceful – and in Austin, at least, charitable as well.

“Every attempt was made to intercede during acts of violence or rapidly identify victims and suspects”, the statement read.
