July 2024 · 2 minute read

Rain in the forecast didn’t deter loyal Donald Trump supporters from arriving early to get a glimpse of the former President—some arriving as early as 6:00 a.m. to the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza to hear former President Trump deliver remarks.

“A trump rally is the greatest show on earth, and that’s a one-man show. I mean, Donald Trump is our first rockstar superhero president," said Edward X. Young, a dedicated Trump supporter.

Outside the venue, a sea of red hats and a “Trump Village” of tents with merchandise, food, and more could be seen.

“Lots of energy, lots of patriotism here; it’s really a great thing to see people fighting for their country," said Janj Sujam, from South Korea.

American voters weren’t the only ones coming to show support for the Republican nominee. Fans from as far as South Korea flew their flags and chanted outside the arena.

“In order for South Korea to remain in democracy, is for us to be like America," Sujam explained.

Future voters eagerly counted down the minutes until they could witness what they said was a moment in history.

“I’ve always liked Trump since I was three years old, and I don’t like to fly out to all those other far-away rallies," said Michael Giannetta, a 10-year-old trump Supporter, "This election is one of the most important political elections there probably ever will be.”

The line to enter the arena wrapped around the parking lot, but dedicated fans didn’t mind the wait.

“Here at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre will be my 84th Trump rally number 84," said Young.

“Donald Trump was sent by God to preserve Abraham Lincoln‘s promise that government of the people by the people for the people will not perish," Young continued.

Those who couldn’t enter the arena watched the speech on an outdoor Jumbotron near the Trump village.
