Fil-Am here! Been supporting him since 2016. Actually, a lot of people misjudged him, but I think he has a good heart. What happened exactly a week ago is indeed a divine intervention. God bless the USA 🙏❤️

I am an immigrant who came 25 years ago to US. I never see a man love his country that much. Thank you Mr. Trump.

[meredithgrubb]

It showed his true character. The man stood up, not knowing if he had been shot in the ear, head, or anywhere else and with no concern for himself started yelling fight. He didn't know if bullets were going to continue or not and was concerned about us fighting for out lives. That's a fucking leader if I've ever seen one. It was badass.

Absolutely agree Tucker Carlson ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸
