Over 1,000 joined a parade and rally for Trump in New Jersey on October 24, according to Breitbart News.
“This is the people of New Jersey, and this is what they want,” said Mike Hydro of Readington. “All the things you read or see, it’s nonsense.” Trump works to put America first, Bedminster resident Joel Melitski added.
“This country, after both world wars, has been given the task of resurrecting the world, helping everybody, doing for everybody. What’s wrong with America first? Donald Trump believes in this country,” he continued.
According to the Secret Service, 57,000 people attended the president’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.
