WASHINGTON DC, KOMPAS.com – Thousands of loyal supporters of the President United States of America (AS) Donald Trump protested in Washington on Saturday (11/14/2020) on the back of the president’s misguided claims about the election being ‘stolen’ from him.
The crowd of demonstrators swarmed the presidential motorcade that was about to turn its way out of town.
A staunch supporter Trump, Anthony Whittaker of Winchester, Virginia said, “I just wanted to keep his spirits up and let him know that we support him.”
Thousands of people gathered along Pennsylvania Avenue, from Freedom Plaza near the White House.
The week after Joe Biden from Democrats declared the winner of the US presidential election, demonstrations in support of Trump took place in several cities.
