What Trump supporters think of impeachment
The British Broadcasting Corporation ^ | October 11, 2019 | Lauren Turner in Minneapolis

President Trump is fighting back against an impeachment inquiry by taking his counterpunching style on the road. What do fans at one of his rallies make of the scandal?

"It's the first time I've worn my cap downtown," confesses Jake Biehn as he waits for President Donald Trump's rally to start in Minneapolis, a city currently run by Democrats.

If he worried about standing out in his Make America Great Again baseball cap, he needn't have been.

The centre of the city is a bobbing sea of red and white. The slogan is on t-shirts - along with Women for Trump, Pilots for Trump, Cops for Trump. There are Star Spangled suits, a MAGA onesie, badges proclaiming Magasota, with Mr Trump's profile (and coiffed mane) imposed over the outline of the state of Minnesota.

You wouldn't think all this was for a president at the centre of an impeachment inquiry, holding a rally for the first time since it was launched.

If anything, it has galvanised the thousands of supporters some of whom queued for days to be at the front of the Target Center crowd when he stepped out to a rock star's welcome.

Dan Nelson, 36, says he was the first in line to get into the venue after waiting for three days - and was right at the front for Mr Trump's appearance.

"They're just making stuff up," he says of the Democrats. "He's starting to fight back."

<>The inquiry is looking at whether the president pressurised Ukraine’s leader to dig up information on Democratic candidate, and former vice-president, Joe Biden,<>

Uh, no. He asked about Crowd Strike.

<>The allegations against the Bidens have been widely discredited.<>

Another lie. Biden admitted he pressured the Ukrainian government. No mention either of the $900K Ukraine paid Quid Pro Joe for lobbying while he was VP.

Trump has been “speaking softly” during the first 4 years; he’ll be “using the big stick” for the second 4 years.

Before the rally started, the atmosphere on the skywalk - a series of bridges linking buildings in Minneapolis, where people have been queuing to get into the building - is like a big party. There are mass singalongs of I'm Proud to be an American, cheers whenever police officers walk by (which is often), and sporadic chants calling Trump's name. People have brought fold up seats and ordered in pizza.

You're right - none of the Biden stuff has been discredited... just denied by the usual suspcets... BUT he did get the above right - Trump rallies ARE fun.

I agree with your Post 18 comments. Especially the word ‘Most’. There are some significant outliers - Congress Republicans who love this Country, and the Constitution, and are willing to fight for it. But they are the few. Most prefer slouching towards a one world government. No Nations, just one large Government where these politicians get to be hogs at the feeding trough, while they use the boot of big government force to keep the unwashed rubes in line.

There’s too much use of personality hate Trump preferences as the excuse for quote, impeachment, unquote. It’s a distraction from the real reason. What should be looked into and brought to public attention is the connection to the corruption used by the swamp creatures Trump would put a screeching halt to. And offered as the real reason why democrats are going after Trump.

Thursday night’s rally was THE best so far. Pres. Trump really knows how to connect with people. He is a friggin breath of fresh air.
