President Donald Trump wants his supporters to counter the massive protests against his administration by staging a rally of their own.
The president tweeted on Saturday that a demonstration staged by his voters would be 'the biggest of them all.'
'Maybe the millions of people who voted to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN should have their own rally,' Trump tweeted on Saturday.
Since taking office and enacting controversial measures, Trump has watched as thousands have taken to the streets in the United States and abroad to denounce him.
With the Academy Awards scheduled for Sunday, Hollywood has also waded into the political dispute.
Jodie Foster, Michael J. Fox and Keegan Michael Key headlined a protest over Trump's recent immigration orders.

Definitely. The March for Life, which gathers 2 - 300,000 every year is almost ignored by the media. I went this year and witnessed the numbers myself. Even with President Trump calling out the media about their coverage of the (some) Women's March and asking if they would cover the March for Life, most media gave it little attention.
It needs to be a coordinated event and held at every newspaper, radio, and television broadcasting office who are putting out fake news in America. Unlike most libs most conservatives are not paid to protest by the likes of Soros and we have jobs not allowing us to take alot of time off to travel to D.C. to rally. I wish people like Hannity, Rush, and other well known concervatives would get behind such a movement.
The Saturday Rally on Washington 9-12-2009 was packed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUPMjC9mq5Y , so was the 9-12-10 Saturday rally https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3acL1FDL90. Media ignored them both. I think going around the media is easier now than then. I would prefer nationwide local gathering spots, like the original Tea Parties. We surely could broadcast those events. DC wouldn’t get all our hard earned money either. All supportive Americans could get involved also.
I read somewhere a couple days ago that pro-Trump rallies were scheduled to be held next Saturday, March 4.
Wish I could participate in one, but physical and financial factors won’t permit me to do so.
March 4 12:00 Washingto DC

I have been to DC for 2 huge rallies that were organized by the Tea Party & Mercury radio and others. It would be nice to have a big organization to set it up with the permits, speakers & porta potties. Maybe Jim Robinson can begin to check into this as the April 29th date is less than 2 months away.
It does not have to be on Saturday April 29th, the date all the who’s who in news media & Politician’s nerd prom will be in town. The rally, can be further out if need more time to get speakers, permits etc..
JUST Whatever is planned, we need to move together in HUGE MASSES or we will be ridiculed along with President Trump by the media and the swamp politicians rinos will be empowered to push back against Trumps agenda.
I am emailing the Tea Party factions, twitter & GAB heavy hitters to see what they think about this, if they can get this going. Hopefully they are already on it, contact other likeminded organizations to put something together & Organize the biggest Rally in Washington DC’s History.
Thanks. If there is one where I can, I will participate.
We need just 1 HUGE historic mother of all rally in Washington DC.. Trump needs to see the MASSIVE HISTORIC support worthy of the election battle and the Media & Rinos in DC need to see us.
That had a list of numerous rallys - so most will just go to the closest one if they go at all. Divide and conquer. NOT saying there is a single thing wrong with doing state by state rallys, but one BIG rally in DC would be the real ticket.
The Inauguration was so heavy with massive security that it was impossible to get around. I was there.
A rally will be quite different. But March 4? Way too short notice. THIS IS HOW WE END UP WITH TINY CROWDS. Someone decided at the last minute to have a “rally” in ten different places and only gives attendees a week or two notice. Falls pretty flat.
If we freepers can help contact March for Life, Tea Party Patriots, Tea Party.org, Breitbart, Numbers USA, Jim - Free Republic ..all likeminded organizations to march on DC at the same time we could have historic numbers.
Yep, I was at both of those TEA party rallys. The one in ‘09 was epic. The one in ‘10 had low attendance in large part due to Glen Beck holding his rally about a month before the TEA rally was scheduled.
I agree - and March 4th is too soon since it hasn’t been promoted.
Trump could fly to all four zones, one at a time, and attend each of the MASSIVE rallies.
I agree. Let me know if I can help. I don’t know much, but I have traveled to DC a bunch of times in the last few years - so perhaps I can give some helpful tips, or make phone calls or bug people to get the word out.
JUST Whatever is planned, we need to move together in 1 HUGE MASS at Washington DC or we will be ridiculed along with President Trump by the media and the swamp politicians rinos will be empowered to push back against Trumps agenda
Go Big or Go Home
Initial rallies were announced 3 weeks ago. Still plenty of time to attend a local rally.

Reach out to Bikers For Trump. The real ones, ;)
I am sure they would be happy to help. And he has gotten some great experience in putting together his own little rally in DC for the Inaugural Parade. He’d be a good resource. Also the Truckers For Trump.
A “local” rally here will probably get about a hundred people. It will look stupid I am afraid. They only show one listed for NY - three hours from me. I’d rather add three hours of driving and go to DC frankly.
The idea is grand, the execution is not.
And we do need one BIG GIANT rally. A bunch of little rallys make it look like Trump has no general support. Frankly, I think that is what the still active never-Trumpers want.
It's better for organizations to get hundreds of people contacting them..show interest.
We need to move together in HUGE MASSES to 1 location (Washington DC) or we will be ridiculed along with President Trump by the media and the swamp politicians rinos will be empowered to push back against Trumps agenda.
