The Los Angeles Times paid a visit to Donald Trump’s Southern California headquarters in Long Beach on Monday and was stunned by the diversity of volunteers who are committed to seeing him win the Golden State and the presidency.
“It was as if the whole thing had been staged, in Cambodia Town, no less, to belie the notion that Trump’s appeal is largely limited to older white males,” the Times‘s Steve Lopez wrote. In Long Beach, one of America’s most diverse cities, that same diversity was reflected in Trump’s supporters at his Southern California headquarters.
Lopez spoke with a woman and millennials of Filipino descent, a Mexican-American, and a Jewish man, and saw the “names of volunteers from the African-American, Hispanic and Asian communities” written on blackboards adorning the names of volunteers. He noted that “two middle-aged white people [also] joined the party.”
Trump’s grand opening for his headquarters took place this past Saturday, and Breitbart News was there to cover it. As Lopez was told, there were hundreds of people there over the course of the opening; many of them were able to enjoy a performance that was put on by dancers from the Khmer Arts Cultural Center, known as a traditional Cambodian “blessing dance;” something Lopez wrote he would have paid to see.
Lopez wrote that an unnamed Mexican-American Trump volunteer told him that “there are too many illegals here… and they dirty the place up and they take jobs and do things hey shouldn’t.” Lopez noted that once he found out he was with the Times, the man said “the only thing the Times is any good for is to wrap fish in it,” before walking away.

“It was as if the whole thing had been staged”
That’s your friends the Democrats who do that kind of thing, LA Times. Remember the fake doctors in Rose Garden lab coats?
I love this guy. I wonder if he's single.
The organizing meeting we had in Las Vegas on Saturday was a veritable united nations of ethnic and social backgrounds. The big surprise is when they see who votes for Trump.
Yes, that wiley Trump set up a Potemkin campaign headquarters in Long Beach just to lay in wait for the unsuspecting Steve Lopez of the LA Times.
Wish it was still a secret. I want the liberal, left leaning, published rags and their political bosses to be totally shocked on Nov. 9th after the votes come in.
They look in the Trump HQ and what do they focus on? Labels. They look in and see a Hispanic, a Jew, African Americans, Filipinos...
No doubt the Trump supporters like me would look in there and simply see a room full of like-minded Americans willing to work to bring about an better America.
It was as if the whole thing had been staged”..
Surprised the reporter didn’t claim the workers were illegal aliens he hired.
Did a sign wave over the weekend. Something that really surprised me was that the folks who were honking and waving and giving the thumbs up were about 50/50 black and white. Not what I expected. Much to my delight.
this neighborhood is the home of the good kind of immigrants hard working, pinching pennies to make a mortage - similar ethos to those angry old white guys in Michigan.
If trump is wining over these immigrants in SoCal, he is attracting yuge support
Feel good article of the day !
I just found out my Iranian immigrant neighbor is a bigger fan of Trump than I am !
CNN, OTOH, will continue to report that only uneducated white male racists support Trump, which if true, is odd because polls show Trump with support from about 44% of registered voters, which means that there’s WAY more uneducated white male racists in this country than anybody every realized before.
What if immigrants decided they weren’t loyal democrats. What if they decide people like Hillary remind them of where they came from?
You’d see Democrats build a wall so fast it’d make your head spin.
Let me guess. He thought this because he knew it was exactly what the dems would do and he was projecting.
No real comment, I just wanted to read that again. LOL!
Oh, it’ll remain a secret. Fatal blindness in action. I want to see Eleanor Clift angry drunken face on election night. Comedy gold.
> It was as if the whole thing had been staged
These people have believed their conspiracy theory for a long time and only now are waking up, too late, to reality.
“I just found out my Iranian immigrant neighbor is a bigger fan of Trump than I am !”
There’s actually some REALLY COOL Iranians. I’ve met some extraordinarily smart and personable Iranians, people who I really liked and admired. (OTOH, I’ve met some real scumbags, namely an Air Force guy in the Shah’s military back in the day before the Shah was deposed. Guy was dumber than a box of bricks and slimmier than a bucket of eels.)
