Washington DC [US], July 4 (ANI/Sputnik): Former US President Donald Trump is holding his second Save America campaign-style rally in Sarasota, Florida, on Saturday.
The rally, which is cosponsored by the Republican Party of Florida, is an all-day event to support Trump s Make America Great Again (MAGA) agenda and celebrate the achievements of his administration. The event, which is being held at the Sarasota Fairgrounds, will also feature a fireworks show, ahead of Independence Day marked on July 4.
The crowd in Sarasota is very diverse and includes people of all ages and nationalities, a Sputnik correspondent reports. There are a lot of Latin American supporters, some people even brought dogs. Most are wearing hats and T-shirts saying Trump 2020 and Make America Great Again. Many have brought flags and banners.
Interviews at the rally with some of the ex-president’s most ardent fans put this hypothesis to the test. Some did indeed shrug and move on. Others echoed Trump’s view that the charges were politically motivated. More than one prefaced their answer with the words “it’s bullshit”.
From all it was clear that the charges fitted neatly into an existing narrative in which Democrats, the media and the “deep state” have been trying to tear Trump down since he launched his candidacy with an escalator ride at Trump Tower in 2015. Any new accusation is merely interpreted as another data point to strengthen that case.
