Trump’s “Make America Great Again” devotees came out in force early this morning, huddling behind metal police barriers outside the Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, MI.
It’s 10:30am.
The line to see President Trump and @JDVance1 is MASSIVE.
Just thousands of people.

Many more though are expected as the venue holds about 12,000 people for when Trump — the 2024 Republican presidential nominee — arrives to give his speech at 2 PM PT. His VP running mate J.D. Vance will also be in attendance.

Security is reportedly top of mind for Saturday’s event … Fox17 says Secret Service has been at the arena all week securing the site … and plans for the motorcade have been discussed for days alongside state law enforcement.

As you know, Trump was nearly assassinated last Saturday while giving a stump speech at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The former president was shot in the right ear by Thomas Matthew Crooks, who opened fire with an AR-15-style rifle from a building rooftop nearby.

Crooks also shot three spectators — one of whom was killed while the other two survived. A Secret Service sharpshooter fatally shot Crooks in the head. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is still trying to determine a motive.
Stay tuned …
