Trump Emerges For First Time to Crowd Chants of “U-S-A! U-S-A!”

Source: Mediaite

Donald Trump emerged from Trump Tower just moments ago to greet the crowd of supporters that have gathered throughout the day in support of his candidacy despite the backlash he is receiving from a leaked audio tape that is damning to his campaign.

Although many GOP leaders have called for Trump to step down just 31 days before the general election, a group of his supporters gathered in Manhattan Saturday outside Trump Tower, where top campaign officials and surrogates met throughout the day. Just one day ahead of the Clinton v. Trump debate in St. Louis, the campaign efforts have taken a hit as a result of an eleven-year-old video that surfaced Friday showing Trump openly discussing advancing on women given his power and influence.

Crowds Saturday chanted “U-S-A! U-S-A!” to show their support for the suddenly embattled candidate.

Despite the widespread condemnation that Trump has received from party leaders since Friday afternoon, he told the Wall Street Journal earlier today that there is simply, “zero chance I’ll quit,” the race.

Trump paid actors to cheer him on at Trump Tower in NYC when he famously rode the escalator.

just like sailing down the escolater 18 months ago. And there is an excellent chance he will quit; he lies continuously, so if he's saying he'll never quit, he probably has the day and time already chosen

And we need to use the correct name for him - he's a sex offender.

Racist, ignorant misogynists, duped into voting against their own best interests, supporting the most unqualified candidate in modern history, and his un-democratic, authoritarian, international disgrace of an agenda.

And, like all too foolish to understand the error of their ways, it is they who hide behind the buzzwords of "freedom" and "patriotism," and chant our country's sacred name in favor of the one person who is sure to destroy our nation in one disastrous term.

The Spartans fought under the banner "Freedom for the Greeks," while they enslaved 80% of their population. Many of those slaves also fought under that banner, unwilling to question the absurdity of their position.
