Trump loyalists march to contest vote result as president makes motorcade drive-past
- Marchers near the White House greeted Donald Trump’s appearance with cheers and flags reading ‘Best prez ever’
- Right-wing militia group the Proud Boys were among those rallying
Thousands of diehard Donald Trump supporters rallied for a last stand in Washington, chanting “four more years” and blaming fraud for an election defeat that will force the president to vacate the White House after just one term.
Trump himself made a drive-past in his armoured motorcade, on his way to play golf, smiling through his limousine window to wild cheers and signs saying “Best prez ever” and “Trump 2020: Keep America Great”.
“We wanted to show our support, we’re feeling they are trying to steal the election,” said Pam Ross, who drove eight hours from Ohio to join the rally on Saturday, referring to the president’s political opponents.
Later on Saturday, he took to Twitter with a series of tweets and retweets that included claims of voting machines potentially being hacked and complaints about news networks’ coverage of the rally.
