President Donald Trump was greeted by large crowds of Trump supporters and boaters during his visit to the deep blue state of California.
Trump arrived in Newport Beach, California, on Saturday for a rally hosted by a health insurance entrepreneur, John Word, and his wife, Kimberly, according to CBS News.
Tickets for the event reportedly ranged from $3,300 for the lunch reception, and $6,600 for each couple. For a photo opportunity, it was $35,000 or raising $75,000. For members of the roundtable host committee, it was $100,000 per person, according to the website for the Republican Party of Orange County.
Margo Martin, the deputy director of communications for the Trump campaign, posted a video to X showing Trump waving to several boats in Newport Beach that were honking and making noise in support of the former president.

Trump crowd in Newport Beach. .
I’m sure a guy named Buck Johns is in the crowd or even on the stage. I worked for Buck at the Trane Company in the 70s. He’s a multimillionaire and has been a key figure and leader of the Republican Party for decades. Google him.
After Trane in the early 80s he started a Solar Heating company. One day Mike Wallace from 60 minutes showed up, doors were closed and Mike interviewed Buck. They were doing a story on Trane and how they used high pressure sales tactics to sell Central AC to poor people in Southern California. Buck had left Trane but they talked to him and it was shown on 60 minutes. circa 1981 or so.
Buck was a member of the Balboa Bay Club, a friend of Reagan and he’s quite the enterpreneur. A Brilliant Engineer from Arkansas, beautiful home on the back bay of Newport.
Here’s just one article about him....he was always nice to me too:

Fortunately, Katie Porker will no longer be their rep in the next session...she ran for senate and came in third (LOSER) after ADAM SHIT and Steve Garvey. I suspect that Katie thought it would come down to Shit vs Porker in November...she was probably surprised that Garvery came in second in the jungle primary.
Now this is the kind of showboating which I approve!
