Donald Trump’s supporters plan to show the president some love this weekend with nationwide rallies called “March4Trump.”
Several rallies are planned in Michigan on Saturday, including Macomb County. The largest rally will be at the Capitol in Lansing, and will feature guest speakers and elected officials.
Grassroots organizer and volunteer co-chair for Trump’s election campaign in Oakland County, Meshawn Maddock said long-before Trump won Michigan, his supporters were organized.
“Michigan had a head-start on the country because our people participated in flash mobs during the campaign. They already had signs in their garages -- They just had to pull them out, dust them off and are ready to go,” said Maddock.
Organizers are encouraging attendees to bring signs, American flags and kids. These rallies are billed as family-friendly events.
