[HipChick]

1. I kind of like that one guy to

what would be the viewer's far right (!) in the picture.

He bothered to wear his best duds for the presidential campaign event, and that hat is to die for, am I right?

Also it appears that he's eating a pretty serious chocolate cupcake with real white frosting.

[HipChick]

3. I'd bet half of those folks are from the Trump campaign..

[saltpoint]

4. That was my first guess, too, but

then I said, 'Wait, these people are walking upright..."

[KittyWampus]

37. the other half just showed up to see a freak show

[hibbing]

6. hahaha good observation

I would have never caught that. He does seem to be enjoying whatever it is he is snarfing on.


Peace

[saltpoint]

7. No matter what Trump says, the guy

still gets his cupcake break.

And there's more nutrition in that cupcake than there is substance in Trump's address.

[catbyte]

17. I hadn't noticed the cupcake, lol.

[awoke_in_2003]

21. Free cupcakes

is probably the only reason he is there

[saltpoint]

22. LOL. "Had to listen to that

Trump feller, but they gave us free cupcakes."

[awoke_in_2003]

23. From the Southpark movie

[saltpoint]

24. LOL.

[Wednesdays]

39. Maybe most of those people are there

for the free food.

[saltpoint]

40. Might as well chow down on some

donuts -- yep.

[yellowcanine]

2. People rubber necking at a house fire.....

[Siwsan]

5. I'm waiting for the local news coverage to start

I'm pretty sure there were more people protesting than cheering.

[NWCorona]

8. Is that the black church he's supposed to speak at today?

[BumRushDaShow]

15. There was video too

[TonyPDX]

18. Thank you for posting this. I read about it, and hoped to see it.

[BumRushDaShow]

28. Just confirmed this ad hoc visit was set up by Armstrong Williams

long time black GOP operative.

There's a slightly longer video at the OP of the above link.

[TonyPDX]

34. Interesting. Fortunately for us, the Trump visit ended like most of Armstrong Williams' schemes.

[BumRushDaShow]

38. He has a regular radio show on SiriusXM

I should have checked in to hear the aftermath! Although he might have had a guest host on since he was in Flint... apparently at the event when Trump was there.

[chollybocker]

9. "A Place to Dream"

Wait, isn't he the same guy who wants to DEPORT all the Dreamers?

Vile cretin.

[HurricaneWarning]

10. I wish

they had a shot of the people he waved to at the airport. He stopped twice while coming down the stairs to wave, and a pretty sure no one was there.

[Coyotl]

11. Obviously 50% of those people are ....

reporters

[HellNoKitty]

27. I'm stealing this pic.

The awesomeness is immeasurable.

[Coyotl]

36. That's why it is there, so everyone can use it as they wish.

Make it go viral.

[Blue Idaho]

35. Now remember - Hillary walked back the 50%

It could be much much higher...

[Ford_Prefect]

12. Looks like an early Tea Party presser where the undercover cops and press outnumbered the "faithful"

I wonder which ones are the cops and undercover security?

When and where please? Citation?

[The Wizard]

13. What no arm bands? (NT)

[Ligyron]

14. Of course, the audience Trump was talking to wasn't in Flint anyway.

He just wants to dominate the MSM airwaves as much as possible.

[TonyPDX]

16. This is hilarious.

[NCTraveler]

19. Staffers. Nt

[jtuck004]

20. Why does it say "A Place To Scream" on the wall behind him? n/t

[Spitfire of ATJ]

25. I've seen a bigger turnout for a puppet show....

.....done with tiny hands.....

[niyad]

26. I count less than three dozen, including cupcake guy, and I would imagine at least a couple

of them are his ss detail.

[BumRushDaShow]

29. Politico

that holds water for him said about 50 inside but 100 outside protesting!

[niyad]

30. I am surprised that they didn't try to claim hundreds or thousands.

[BumRushDaShow]

31. They probably didn't have time to fake a crowd shot

[niyad]

33. true. I mean, he only decided on this little trip yesterday, I believe.

[AmericanMan1958]

32. Not all were Trumpers

There was some hecklers there,also
So don't let this large crowd foul you.
As a 50+ year old white male, I can say I have always been treated with respect in all the AA communities I have gone into campaign and door knocking.
Wish I could say the same for some of the white communities. Most of the rudest people I have dealt with look just like me. An over weight white guy!!
My prays and support goes out to the citizen of Flint, Mi.
