This is what it's really like being in the crowd at a 17,000-person Trump rally

Mirror’s man in US enters fray at Trump rally to see why supporters love him

Standing among the crowd wearing Make America Great Again caps and T-shirts while some of them screamed “Shove gun control up your a**” and “Trump Rambo”, I was nervous.

Typically I’d cover Donald Trump’s rallies from either behind the penned barricades or from the safety of a live feed off a TV news channel.

But this time it was different.

For, after braving five hours waiting to board the Trump Train at the President’s latest 2020 re-election rally, I joined thousands of his supporters in Cincinnati’s 33C heat to become just another face in the crowd.

Like the President, I was more interested in how his base responded, and to what, opting this time to just listen to what they were saying to each other, and to Trump, instead of fact-checking his every word.

Probably the safest place in the world to be. You certainly won’t get the disease of liberalism.

If he wants to know fear, he should try wearing a MAGA hat at a Bernie Sanders or Kamala Harris rally.

If he says it was 17,000 it was really 45,000 or more.

Oh no bias in this article. Like Omar, this POS journalist should go back to where he came from.

Brit lefties are smart to be afraid. They would be well advised to hit the road before the shtf.

I guess, he’s a Brit and has no experience of a high school pep rally. My experience at a Trump rally was like a pep rally on steroids. Loud music, lots of color, interesting speakers, a lot of smiling cheering people. At ours, a woman collapsed in the middle of President Trump’s speech. He immediately directed the EMT’s to her (she was in the standing crowd in front of the stage). Told them to take their time, not worry and then joined in when the crowd spontaneously started singing ‘Amazing Grace’. Absolutely nothing scary or sinister about it at all.

"Don’t they get crowds this size in England?"

Yes... Whenever a Christian church is burned down, a Christian is decapitated, or a mosque tower chant makes the call to the celebration of a pedophile...

As if he’s studying a species of insect.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

After dehumanizing Trump supporters for 3 years, he now is forced to get up close and personal to forensically examine “deplorables” who are actually mainstream , patriotic Americans.

Its almost like the reporter has landed on an alien planet.

Thats just how far the media has become out of touch with ordinary Americans.

Its a bit scarey, to think these lefty, self righteous, supercilious, intellectual reporters think they can dismiss most of America. They are wrong.

The author is a huge juvenile POS. A lame attempt in pretending any semblance of unbiased journalism. What a shame to waste such a real opportunity to learn something.
