Even before President Donald Trump took to the stage Friday and declared that “No one will be safe in Biden’s America,” his Manchester Airport campaign rally in Londonderry, New Hampshire, was a raucous affair.
At the president’s first public appearance after officially accepting the Republican nomination to run against former Vice President Joe Biden this November, thousands of enthusiastic supporters lined up early to catch a glimpse of the president exiting Air Force One. The event was replete with wild Trump paraphernalia on display in all directions, chants of “U.S.A.!,” and more than a few scuffles between Trump supporters and protesters. (And also at least one alleged bomb threat against the media, according to a Channel 7 news team that caught it on tape.)
Here are some scenes from Friday’s event that show the president seems to have no shortage of support in the Granite State:
