Gene Huber, a 48-year-old used car salesman from West Palm Beach, was the first in line outside the Expo Hall at the Florida State Fairgrounds.
Huber arrived at 2 p.m. Monday to claim his spot. He wore a shirt with a picture of himself hugging Trump. He said the image is from a 2016 campaign rally when the president called him on stage.
Its the hug of the American people, Huber said. President Trump is the man of the people.
Huber said he trusts the president.Hes our messenger and we listen to him, thats all we do, Huber said. I listen to our president and follow his agenda. Promises made, promises kept, thats what this man does, Huber added. If he says hes going to turn the moon purple I believe him.

The best part was when they decided to go straight to the tech school(prior to the cow yard appearance) to listen in on his illuminating speech. Schmuck L'Orange was giving one of those bored book reports he's forced to do while the crowd yawned in excitement. His lame attempt at humor ("hmmm 50 years or half a century, which sounds better?" ) fell flat and the station quickly cut back to their sports report. Chris Archer getting traded to the Pirates held more weight.

(82,849 posts)The days of taxing the wealthy are over. It's time for a new privileged class to rise up, break the shackles of contributing to the system that made them fabulously wealthy, and funnel the tax dollars of the workers directly into the pockets of the wealthy.

Do Unto Others..../ Live And Let Live. Simple and nice decent principles to live by that are non existent in the Trumpsters.
