The Scene at Trump Tower: Gathering of the Diehards

Under the rain on Saturday in Manhattan, a few dozen Trump supporters gathered from far and wide—Jersey Shore, DC, Queens—to stand in front of Trump Tower and show their support for the man who built it. They had been planning this on Facebook for over a week, and it just so happened that they arrived to see their candidate’s campaign going down in flames: about 24 hours prior, audio surfaced of Trump bragging about his ability to assault women because he was a star, sending scores of Republicans to withdraw their support and calling for him to relinquish his spot on the ticket. But these people didn’t care. He was still their man. They huddled under umbrellas, squishing around the TV tents gathering rain on the sidewalk, and sang the national anthem. As Trump emerged from the Tower after a meeting with Reince Preibus, they shouted “U-S-A! U-S-A!” Someone blew a shofar, sending up a prayer to God on behalf of the beleaguered Donald Trump. A man dressed as a human-sized penis stood around with a placard that said, “TAKE A PICTURE WITH TRUMP!!!

Everyone had their reasons for still supporting Trump, and many weren’t bothered by the “locker-room talk.” “Come on, that’s how real men talk!” said a very frustrated man who wouldn’t give his name. “That’s how men talk!” A 17-year-old who has been volunteering for the Trump campaign, and who also didn’t want his name used, was explaining to a bystander that Trump’s comments weren’t predatory because they let him do it because he’s a star, and that is a form of consent.
“I could care less about those tapes, because when men get together and they’re all alone and they’re talking about themselves, they say a lot of things just to impress one another. That doesn’t bother me in the very least,” said Kathy Serra, who came in from the Jersey shore in a fluorescent yellow anorak and a camo Make America Great Again cap. “He was bragging, just like the other men. I’ve heard it all before. Listen, I’d rather have a man like Trump be president than a criminal like Hillary Clinton!” Why is Clinton a criminal? “She sold uranium to Russia! I mean, that’s what you use to make nuclear bombs!” Serra said. When I asked her about Trump’s friendliness toward the Russian president, she said that “being friendly is fine! And Putin respects Trump because he has a set of calyuns, as my father used to say,” referring to old Italian slang for the seed-making part of the male anatomy. (And it wasn’t even Hillary that was the problem, really. It was George Soros, a “currency manipulator,” “evil, evil man, he’s the shadow government of this country.” “He’s responsible for Black Lives Matter, he’s responsible for Ferguson, he’s responsible for the mess in Charlotte that just occurred,” she went on, explaining to me that Soros invented BLM to carve up the country.
Some had even more alarming accusations. A college student who worked at nearby Rockefeller Center who leans toward Clinton wandered over to see what this was all about. “That man over there, with the horn, he was telling me that Hillary is a witch, that she practices witchcraft." The man with the horn—a ram’s horn called a shofar and used in Jewish ritual—was Johnny Rice, a messianic Christian from Washington, D.C., decked out in Trump regalia. After some discussions of Bill Clinton’s sexual transgressions, I asked him if he had been telling the young man over there that Hillary is a witch. A relieved and knowing look came over his face. “Oh, for real, for real,” he said nodding with the gratitude of someone finally being understood. (The shofar, he told me, was part of his studying Judaism to understand Jesus better and to “turbocharge” his prayers.) “Have you heard of Alex Jones? Alex has the behind-the-scenes people, like Larry Nichols. And I was even able to call Larry personally, and he said he asked Bill one time, how come Hillary flies to L.A. once a month? And he said, Hillary is going to witchcraft meetings.”

Too bad his parents didn't name him Richard Trump
All seem to have mental issues and at the very least are delusional.

Ms. Serra, you really need to break away from the following:
Breibart news, its funded by Robert Mercer,
Alex Jones, info wars, he can't figure out if 1+1 = 2 , in his conspiracy laden universe it is 1+1 =3
Steve Bannon,think white nationalists
Robert Manfort, links to Russia
Kellyanne Conway, again, Robert Mercer, Ted Cruz,
Glen Beck, his news programs is full of racists remarks
Rush Limbaugh, thinks that Sandra Fluke and woman in general are nazi feminists
Faux Noise, supports terrorist called the Bundy's, just ask Sean Hannity,
Bill O'Reilly making stories up that he was some place when he wasn't, and he has sexual harassment charges files against him
Then you have "Dark Money, from the Art Popes, David and Charles Koch for starters
Then you have the republican leadership and party attacking and blaming you Ms. Serra and millions of others, while working only 111 days this year out of 365 at taxpayers expense.
Then trying to have it both ways when it comes to "law and order" megalomaniac narcissist liar and fraud called the dumpster that assaulted and committed battery on woman and brags about it------------------that is deplorable, he doesn't know the difference between right and wrong, yes or no, and he has no empathy, he tried but he failed, he has no conscience towards empathy
Empathy:
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/empathy
I guess Ms.Serra, its alright to make contracts with people and then stiff them out of the money due from the contract or services, ask the dumpster.
Its alright to have pay for play for state attorney generals, ask the dumpster.
And finally Ms. Serra, its alright to stiff the american taxpayers that are paying there taxes, and this guy, can't even balance a check book and file for bankruptcy 6 times, not once but 6 times, throwing thousands out of work, and putting more of a strain on the public systems in New Jersey, do to total incompetence.
Russia mines there own yellow cake there lady, they have been doing it since 1945, and they had agents tell them how to refine it, with stolen secrets
