George Waller’s reasons were different, “Well it’s a proud day for Texas and the City of Austin to have Donald Trump come. I’m just pleased as punch to be part of it and I think he’s transforming America in a very positive way.”
Angela Greenlee, came because she wanted to “be a part of it.” “I came out because I’ve never been around anything like this, I thought it’d be really neat to see the plane and President,” she said.
The President then made his way to the event at the Austin Convention Center, where supporters and a large number of protestors gathered.
Among them, was Bryan Register. “Trump should be told everywhere he goes that he is not wanted, that this is not a country that is friendly for him, that he violates our ideals,” he said.
