Flash Mobs Pitch Trump in Metro Detroit, MI

I wonder how much they got paid.

Bearing signs and banners, demonstrators gathered at 25 sites for nearly two hours Ten of the flash mobs were in Metro Detroit.

“This may be the largest Trump event in Michigan other than the candidates themselves appearing here,” said Rosanne Ponkowski, president of the Michigan Conservative Coalition.

In an area where voters typically favor Democratic candidates, site coordinator Bob Brim encouraged them with a message: “Be brave, be bold. Don’t be afraid to stand up for Trump.”

Standing near him urging motorists to honk for Trump was Sheila Kay, an African-American voter from Southfield who said she’s breaking from her relatives to support the Republican candidate. She said she believes other minorities are doing the same.

After it was over, I heard Drumpf said he'd pay them $25 and give them a fucking hat.

Very inspirational. Wait, "inspirational" means "forgettable" and "pointless", right?
