With the November election looming, he’s doubling down on his promise to take down “crooked Joe Biden”.
At the fundraiser he talked about “America First” policy and sealing up the border.
And with his arrival, there was about 3,000 Trump supporters that showed up.
They were all fired up as his motorcade rolled through gated Harbor Island just before 1 p.m.
It’s safe to say, the Trump train isn’t slowing any time soon.
Folks, the MAGA takeover of Newport Beach, California, is well underway 🇺🇸

LA Times reports:
President Trump, appearing at a fundraiser Saturday at a bayfront Newport Beach mansion, pledged to defeat “crooked Joe Biden” in November and return to the White House to pursue an “America First” policy that avoids unnecessary foreign entanglements and to shut down the border.
ADVERTISEMENT“He was amazing as always,” said dentist Harleen Grewal, 41, of Santa Clarita. “He talked about the state of the country, what we need to bring us back to the American dream, the American people, how we’ve got to think about our country first and close the open border. For me, as a legal immigrant, I feel the same way. Everyone can come in by the right process, the legal process.
“He talked about all the wars that are going on. During his presidency, there were no wars and we had the greatest economy in the history of the United States,” she added. “We as Americans, we need that back. If we don’t get it this time, it’s the end of America. It really is.”
About 3,000 Trump supporters greeted the former president, according to the Newport Beach Police Department. They roared and and chanted, “Donald! Donald!” as the presumptive GOP presidential nominee‘s motorcade drove to the fundraiser on gated Harbor Island shortly before 1 p.m.
Earlier, as people waved flags that read “Trump 2024” and a banner that read “Never Surrender!” and “We stand united with Trump!,” Andrea Flores, 49, of Rancho Santa Margarita, stood on a corner wearing a red Trump baseball cap and chatting with a fellow supporter.
“I wish people would let go of the hate they have for him and do what’s best for the country,” Flores said. “There’s only two candidates right now — one that can’t walk and talk and one that they hate — you have to pick your poison.”
Flores, a Republican, said the economy and the border are among her top issues this election. As for Trump’s recent felony conviction, several supporters in the crowd, including Flores, said the charges were “politically motivated.”
Tickets to Friday’s event cost up to $250,000 per person, and the event raised $6 million for his 2024 campaign, Trump told the crowd, according to attendee Gregg Donovan, 64, of Santa Monica.
As Trump’s motorcade left shortly before 8 p.m. Friday, Robin Dominguez, 67, thrust a sign into the air that read, “TRUMP GUILTY,” and, on the other side, “LOCK HIM UP.”
A passenger yelled: “Hey, lady! Put that sign down. The case was illegitimate.”
But, she said, “how can it be a conspiracy when 12 people all found him guilty?”

That right there says so much.
Really explains the intelligence that we have to deal with. No logic.
Okay, lady. How many people would need to find him guilty in order for it to be “a conspiracy”?
7 people?
1 person?
What’s the number to determine a conspiracy?
The fact that it was all 12 actually leans more to a conspiracy, if she knew what the actual word ‘conspiracy’ means.
Conspiracy: An agreement made by a group of people to commit an illegal or harmful act.

So, the more people actually means it’s more likely to be a conspiracy, since “group” is part of the definition.
But try telling that to the millions of Democrats that have been brainwashed by the media and are still plugged into the matrix.
God help us.
