Donald Trump was cheered by crowds as his motorcade passed by the ‘Million MAGA March’ in Washington, DC.
Supporters for the president swarmed around the convoy of cars as he travelled from the White House to his golf club in Virginia. The White House pool reports that the motorcade was greeted by applause, cheers, waving and whistles from the hundreds of Trump supporters lining both sides of the street. They punched the air, took pictures with phones and held signs that included “Best prez ever” and “Stop the steal”. A number of flags were also visible, including: ‘Trump 2020: Keep America great’, ‘Trump 2020: No more bullshit’, ‘All aboard the Trump train!’, ‘Women for Trump’, and ‘Trump 2020: Pro life, pro God, pro gun’.
Many of the people who had gathered in the plaza wore red, white and blue flag patterns and a stand had been set up to sell merchandise as if at a Trump rally. One man had on a t-shirt that said: “I’m deplorable.” A number of groups and demonstrations planned to head to the capital on Saturday to protest the election result in what was billed as the ‘Million MAGA March’. “People want to show up and have their voice heard,” White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany told Fox on Thursday, when asked about the event. “I mean this president — look, he got more votes than any Republican nominee, or for president I should say, in the history of our country and indeed he got more Republican votes as any nominee in the history of our party back in 2016.” The event is expected to attract a broad cross-section of Trump-supporting factions, including violent far-right gorup the Proud Boys, radical anti-government vigilante groups like the Oath Keepers and Three Percenters, followers of conspiracy-peddling outlet Infowars, alt-right activists, neo-Nazis, as well other supporters of the president. DC authorities and Parks Police are monitoring the demonstrations with Mayor Muriel Bowser saying that they will be there to support the peaceful exercise of First Amendment demonstrations. The president has since arrived at his golf course in Stirling, Virginia, where he was greeted by a small number of supporters on one side of the street and an equal number of protesters on the other. The latter group held up a big ‘Biden Harris’ sign and one that said: ‘We voted. You’re fired’. This is Mr Trump’s 282nd game of golf since taking office. See Video |
