Trump Fans Pre-Game The Fourth Of July By Fighting With D.C. Homeless Man

WASHINGTON ― On the eve of the Fourth of July, President Donald Trump’s supporters gathered outside the White House and behaved just as he would have liked: They screamed at, cursed out and physically intimidated one of his critics.

Waving U.S. flags and wearing “Make America Great Again” gear, dozens of people, mostly white men, came together Wednesday for a rally to celebrate the president ahead of his military-themed Independence Day event on the National Mall. And then there was Bruce, a homeless man who regularly hangs out near the White House and loudly condemns the president.

It was an inevitable, ugly clash.

“Trump is a dick!” shouted Bruce. “Trump supporters are the STD!”

“No, I’m a motherfucking American patriot, you piece of shit!” responded Terry Pennington of Charlotte, North Carolina. “You are a piece of shit!”

“Take your fucking medication!” chimed in a second Trump backer.

“Blah blah blah blah!” rambled a third Trump supporter in a “Blacks make racial slurs & commit hate crimes too!!” T-shirt. “You’re just a loud-mouthed whore!”

Somehow it just sort of dissipated on its own. Maybe all the shouting men got it out of their system. Maybe the black woman who suddenly appeared and inserted herself between Bruce and the angry mob eased the tension. Trump’s supporters regrouped about 40 feet away, and Bruce eased up with his shouting, though he didn’t leave.

A fun thing people don’t tend to know about DC is that the area in front of the White House is the universal gathering point for the weirdest people alive, and always has been.
