From Colorado’s state Capitol to Trump Tower in New York and the Washington Monument, groups of hundreds of people rallied for President Donald Trump on Saturday, waving “Deplorables for Trump” signs and even carrying a life-size cutout of the President.
Chelsea Thomas, an accountant from Thornton, Colorado, brought her family to the March 4Trump rally in Denver – and the life-size cardboard cutout of Trump. She said the family has taken it with them on camping trips, boat rides, and a country music festival.
“It’s nice to be surrounded by people who share your morals and opinions,” said Thomas, as her son walked back and forth across the grass with a Trump flag.
Many in the crowd held American flags or wore red, white, and blue and held signs with messages like “Veterans before Refugees.”
Police in Berkeley, California say 10 people were arrested after Trump supporters and counter-protesters clashed during a rally that turned violent and left seven people injured. None of the injured was hospitalized.
A dagger, metal pipes, bats, pieces of lumber, and bricks were confiscated, police said.
Six people protesting the rally in St. Paul, Minnesota were arrested on felony riot charges after they lit fireworks inside the Minnesota State Capitol and fled, police said. About 400 people attended the event, and about 50 showed up to protest it. (AP)
