Adoring crowds in Alabama and Florida over the weekend gave the president a respite from the political firestorm he’s recently faced in the nation’s capital
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.
