TRUMP RALLIES VERSES DEMOCRAT RALLIES


Recommended Posts

‘Super excited’ Trump supporters waiting to welcome the president ‘home’ to South Florida

 

President Donald Trump isn’t set to go on stage at the BB&T Center until Tuesday evening, but people have been lining up on both sides.

Trump supporters started waiting hours early to get into his pre-Thanksgiving campaign rally. Thousands of people were already inside the arena, even before the president, First Lady Melania Trump and other family members boarded Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews for the flight to South Florida.

The early crowd has been erupting with chants of “USA, USA, USA,” and “four more years.” When people spotted Trump’s campaign manager, Fort Lauderdale resident Brad Parscale, along the side of the floor, people started applauding, cheering and calling out his name.

Howard K., 40, was passing out bright red bumper stickers that read “Impeach The Dems” and “Vote Trump.” Originally from Guyana, he moved to the United States when he was 6 years old and to Florida at 11. The best thing about the U.S. is the freedom of speech, he said.

 

“Here you have the freedom to love or hate the president,” he said. “As an immigrant to this country, I’m proud of that.”

Howard K. lives in Pembroke Pines. He said in blue Broward County, most of his neighbors are Democrats. Here, he feels he can be himself among like-minded Trump voters.

“We’re all super excited that he’s here today,” he said.

But opponents also are on the outside, expressing their displeasure with the president.

Former Vice President Joe Biden, in a statement to the South Florida Sun Sentinel, slammed Trump early Tuesday afternoon.

The Democratic presidential candidate said the Trump administration’s attacks on the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, threaten the health care of Floridians.

“Before even becoming a ‘resident’ of Florida, Donald Trump has already betrayed his new neighbors on the issue they care most about: health care. Donald Trump has tried time and time again to repeal the Affordable Care Act and eliminate protections for the close to 8 million Floridians living with pre-existing conditions like cancer, diabetes, or asthma,” Biden said, warning insurance companies could deny coverage or increase premiums.

Trump announced earlier this fall that he now considers Florida his home, specifically his beloved Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, where he’s spending Thanksgiving.

Florida is also a critical state in 2020. With 29 electoral votes, it’s the largest of the swing states that will determine who wins the presidency.

Outside the arena on Tuesday afternoon, Richard Rossi, 63, of Pompano Beach, was wearing a firefighter helmet with bull horns and holding a cow bell and a sign saying “you get no bull with Trump” as he posted for photos with rally-goers

“I’m wearing this outfit to prove that I’m the ‘original Trumper’” Rossi said.

 

 

 

He wore the same outfit at a Trump event in 2012 in Boca Raton, he said. At that time, he said Trump was just “dipping his toe in the waters” deciding if he would run.

“This is outstanding that he’s here,” Rossi said. He said he also went to a rally in Orlando at the start of the campaign, though he didn’t wear the bull outfit then.

Tuesday’s event isn’t Trump’s first campaign rally at the BB&T Center.

On Aug. 10, 2016, candidate Trump rallied supporters with a speech filled with condemnations of Hillarious Clinton and then-President Barack Obama and promises to restore America.

Trump said the Islamic State, known as ISIS, honored Obama because, in Trump's view, Obama was its founder. "ISIS is honoring President Obama. He is the founder of ISIS. He's the founder," Trump said as the crowd erupted in boos. "He founded ISIS. And I would say the co-founder would be crooked Hillarious Clinton. Co-founder crooked Hillarious Clinton."

An online kerfuffle erupted when people watching noticed one of the people sitting in the VIP section behind then-candidate Trump was Mark Foley, the former congressman who resigned in 2006 after publication of sexually laced Internet messages he exchanged with teens. Foley, who has since apologized, said he never had sexual contact with teens and FBI and FBI and state investigations were closed without criminal charges.
