President Donald Trump told members of the press on Saturday night that Americans could likely expect a rally “once every couple of weeks” now that the process of 2024 campaigning has begun in earnest.
The president is famous for his signature campaign rallies, which are historically known for drawing thousands of supporters from far and wide since 2016.
President Trump kicked off the first rally of his third presidential bid in Waco, Texas, on Saturday, greeted by a massive crowd of enthusiastic supporters.
As reported by RSBN, estimates for the projected crowd size ranged from between 10,000 to 15,000, but Trump remarked after the rally that “25,000 plus” people had packed into the Waco Regional Airport to hear him deliver remarks.
“They sell out immediately – you see the crowd, they sell out immediately,” he remarked on Saturday night, referring to the popularity of his rally events. “…I’ll have 100,000; anywhere from 25,000, 20,000, to 100,000, and even Elvis doesn’t get that.”
He preceded his comments on attendance by highlighting the uniqueness of his rallies’ success.
“You know there’s never been anything like it in history,” he stated. “If Ronald Reagan came back from the dead, which would be very nice, actually, or a popular politician, you would have 300-400 people. Ron DeSanctimonious had 179. So far that’s been his biggest crowd in Iowa – he had 179 people.”
Governor Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., is rumored to announce a bid for the presidency this year, although there has been no official confirmation so far that he will try to make a run against President Trump.
Via RSBN, Trump spoke to the crowd on Saturday night, making bold campaign promises aligned with his new Agenda47 platform. He told supporters that the political persecution of Donald Trump was predicated on a larger agenda. “When they’re going after me, they’re going after you,” he said.
“So, they’re not coming after me, they’re coming after you and I’m just standing in their way…and eventually I won’t have to stand in their way because in 2024 we’re going to have the greatest victory of them all!” he continued.
