President Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” campaign made stop in Washington on Thursday afternoon. Eric Trump, the President’s son stopped by the Edwin Scott Linton Post 175 of the American Legion in Washington to deliver a campaign rally speech to supporters. Trump drove home his father’s campaign priorities of strong economics, Christianity, law and order and respect for the military. Trump particularly pointed to his father’s efforts to revive manufacturing in the U.S. He included support for coal miners and gas and oil workers in his rally cry as well. Trump did take shots at Democratic Presidential Candidate Joe Biden calling him weak. Trump also took time to hammer Hunter Biden and his dealings in the Ukraine. Roughly 500 supporters were on hand on a hot day in the middle of a parking lot. Typical of most Trump rallies of late, most supporters were without masks and social distancing was not enforced. Earlier in the day, a counter rally by Biden supporters was held on the roadside across the street from the American Legion. Sources indicate that roughly 50 people were on hand to register their displeasure with Trump policies and practices that they say disrespect the military and divide the country along ideological lines.
