Yesterday, President Trump walked into a Chick-fil-a in Atlanta, GA and received a warm welcome from enthusiastic supporters, many of whom were African-American.
One woman told Trump, “I don’t care what the media tells you, Mr. Trump. We support you.”
Trump then hugged her, while the crowd clapped and cheered.

Breitbart has more on Trump’s Chick-fil-A visit:
Former President Donald Trump was greeted by enthusiastic supporters at a Chick-fil-A in Atlanta, Georgia, while on the campaign trail and ordered 30 milkshakes and chicken for everybody.
Video shows the former president speaking to workers at the location, asking, “Can I have 30 milkshakes and also some chicken? We’re going to take care of the customers.” He then asks if business is good, to which the workers reply, “Yes.”
ADVERTISEMENTAccording to reports, Trump picked up the tab for everyone at the restaurant.
In another video, Trump speaks to the crowd and a woman says, “I don’t care what the media tells you, Mr. Trump. We support you.” He then gives her a hug and the onlookers clap and cheer.
“It’s a great franchise. The owner is a great man who is a member of one of my clubs,” Trump said during his stop, noting that Chick-fil-A is closed on Sundays.
“It’s the Lord’s chicken, you’re right. It’s good chicken too,” Trump said, responding to a man who said it is the “Lord’s chicken.”
Other videos show Trump continuing to converse with the crowd.
“Love you man,” one man can be heard saying as Trump complimented him back.
Independent Journal Review also said:
Democrats might want to watch out — based on the evidence contained in a recent series of videos, their party might not be able to claim they are the advocates of the marginalized much longer.
ADVERTISEMENTVideos shared by Donald Trump’s deputy director of communications Margo Martin on the social media platform X displayed some evidence of this, with the hugely positive response he received on a recent campaign stop.
Local Atlanta news outlet WSB-TV reported on the event, saying that Trump was in the city for a fundraising stop and popped into the local fast-food chain location as a surprise.
WXIA-TV told viewers that Trump had landed at Hartsfield-Jackson airport shortly before noon Wednesday, and his Chick-fil-A sojourn came shortly after his landing.
While WSB reported that Trump has been polling quite well among African-Americans this go-round, the video Martin shared showed that the news station might have made a massive understatement, at least anecdotally.
All three videos revealed that both the crowd and the employees in the Chick-fil-A were predominantly African-American, and several customers expressed their support for the former president while shaking hands with Trump and taking selfies.
While President Trump was meeting with everyday Americans in Chick-fil-a, Biden was busy hosting a glitzy State Dinner with a guest list that included names like Jeff Bezos, Robert DeNiro, and the Clintons…
Fox News commented on this:
While former President Trump was out on the campaign trail meeting with everyday Americans at a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Georgia on Wednesday, President Biden was fine dining with the Clintons and other prestigious guests at the White House.
In Atlanta, Trump met with locals and had unscripted conversations, bought them “the Lord’s chicken” and urged them to support his third bid for the presidency. More than 500 miles away, in Washington, D.C., Biden hosted Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida at a White House State Dinner.
Some notable attendees of the dinner included: Bill and Hillary Clinton, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos and his fiancee Lauren Sanchez, Apple CEO Tim Cook, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, BlackRock CEO Laurence Fink, actor Robert DeNiro and his girlfriend Tiffany Chen, former president of Planned Parenthood Cecile Richards and others.
Several of Biden’s family also attended. These included the president’s daughter, Ashley Biden and her husband, Dr. Howard Krein, and Hunter Biden’s daughters, Finnegan Biden and Naomi Biden Neal.
