PALM BEACH, Fla. — In Washington D.C., President Donald Trump faces multiple congressional investigations and fired up House Democrats — but in the South, he’s still treated like a king.
Trump was warmly welcomed back here to Mar-a-Lago on Friday night after speaking to donors as part of the Republican National Committee’s annual spring retreat. The adulation came after he’d spent the day touring tornado damage in Alabama, where residents who’d lost homes, loved ones or possessions still managed to make signs in support of the president or cheer on his motorcade. At one Baptist church, he signed supporters’ Bibles.
The adoring crowds over the weekend give Trump a respite from the political firestorm he’s recently faced in the nation’s capital including theof his fifth communications director, the lack of progress on any North Korea deal or domestic agenda, and the fallout from his former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen’s congressional testimony.
Trump’s upbeat attitude was on display Friday night when he wound up the crowd of donors for roughly 45 minutes during the RNC’s two-day Palm Beach retreat. He talked about his trip to Alabama to tour the tornado damage, calling it a difficult one.
..where he can ketchup with his base.
Nothing but “Red Necks” in the photo. tRump is in Alabama a State that has a large number of people of Color who were also traumatized by the tornadoes and he could meet with one during his trip. He would never go into a Black neighborhood with his racist ass.
people are fascinated with Trump the Making effective decisions❤❤❤❤❤
The President of Alabama. They believe he’s building a wall on their southern border.
Hurricanes are gods way of punishing the south
Trump with his cult. Uneducated, religious fanatics.
Not many dark faces in that photograph; just old white men and women who are easily entertained and like fraudsters, mysoginists, bigots, racists and liars.
...what firestorm?
The Republican Party has become the Confederate party of America.
Those deplorables are hopeless!
DIdn't he mock that Southern accent of Sessions? 🤦♂️
The most racist states in the union love him.🤔🤔🤔
i, for one, am so glad my tax $$$$ are lining the POKUS pockets as the GOP funnels money into Mar-a-Lego scam resort
Lmmfao and rotmff i just know he does😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's Bama. Home of Roy Moore and Beauregard Sessions. Go figure.
Here sign my Bible. These people that believe and support him are so brainwashed. It’s abhorrent.
Mama always said 'stupid is as stupid does' 🤔 notice this is right after he made fun of Jeff Session's Alabama accent.
That’s free
As an independent black native born southerner, I’m so glad the curtain has been pulled back on the racism that exists in levels not known till Trump. Those images of unspeakable behavior is a reality just renamed it southern hospitality
yeah, these are the so-called 'Christians' who gave him their Bibles to sign.
What an odd headline. The article is primarily about how large RNC donors and Country club members love him. That isn’t news and doesn’t match the headline.

Barf
Amazing the love and loyalty he has from so much of America
He's a great President. America loves him.
