Thanks again for the rally thread. These epic LIVE Trump threads will go down in FR history and folklore.
Love your Trump Train!
🚂💨🇺🇸🇺🇸
You looked lovely in the photos yesterday. So excited for you getting to see Trump! I’ve been praying he comes to the KC area for months.
Hi nikos, Some people sure do throw the word “cult” around rather freely. The sad thing in my opinion is they fail to realize this isn’t about Donald J Trump. It’s about Americans who are this time actually finished with business as usual in Washington. Trump is the standard bearer for this revolution, which he himself acknowledges whenever he states that his candidacy is a movement.
You would hope that Conservatives would align together in their support after the clear man with the path to victory has been chosen by the people too. Donald Trump isn’t perfect, but he is the man the this nation needs at this point in history. I’m proud to support him.
All aboard....
LOLOL...tweeting. Hee hee :)
I LOVE our future First Lady, Melania.
I’ve been AWOL for the past week, and I’ve really missed everyone on the Trump Train.
Sadly, my only sister died last Friday, and I’ve been busy with family matters since then.
I’m sure ready for some fun and frivolity, and where better to find it than on this thread.
Looks like you are lost—this is a Trump rally thread.
BTW, Trump did not ciriticze the Reagan tax cuts—he specifically criticized the Bradley Bill of 1986, which singlehandedly ruined real estate investment in America and directly caused the Savings and Loan fiasco of 1989-1991.
Thanks for assisting and EDUCATING the lost and ignorant, dear exit. They don’t like it when their lies are busted with facts.
I guess Born in Canada drew the short stick, today....to be the daily disrupter :)
I was impress with the man. But more impressed with the reception. A new friend is working Terre Haute He can’t keep yard signs. Has given out hundreds so far. TH often supports D. But with Indiana’s open ballot and the coal industry on that side of the state I am expecting a full blow out.
Such good news! With more and more all day! DJT owns Indiana
Didn’t we have those for breakfast last week? I want pancakes!
:O)
Oh, I am so sorry, dear SelmaLee.
Sisters are our first best friends....so sorry for your loss.
Prayers and ((hugs)) for you.

So sorry. (((hugs))))

This is true, but if I said that then I would have given everyone the answer to the first question. He met with the Susquehanna Indians.
