I'm sure he's promising these folks lots of free stuff to stand back there and hold up whatever he has for them to hold up behind him. Somehow I don't think this is a good indicator that he might have many supporters.

At this point, I don't think the Trump campaign is spending any money except on reimbursement for use of Trump properties. Which might explain why Republican donors aren't bankrolling his campaign anymore; they know the money isn't going toward canvassing, or phone banking, or mailings, or any of the other usual campaign expenses.

I thought he was supposed to be the guy that didn't need teleprompters.

But, wasn't sure. Kellyanne was in that crowd with heavy makeup on. I noticed other women in the crowd with the same type of heavy makeup on, as well. It all just seemed false.

A little background:

Their website is one major cluster, and contains perplexing statements like "Rockerfeller is Nimrod King of The Canaanites & SAUD The King Of The Ishmaelites Masonic Illuminati Trilateralist Big Banks KKK". This is the re-directed website if you are morbidly curious:

http://www.theeverlastingfather.com/

Warning: It makes Lee Mercer Jr. look rational and dignified.

The leader appears to be some guy named Maurice Symonette and he appears to have a grudge against various local officials in the Miami-Dade County government. I have no idea what the background is, because he just appears to be crazy. Literally.

But, hey, some people waive "Blacks for Trump" signs at a Trump rally and the Trump campaign obviously thinks its making inroads amongst the African American community.
