Donald Trump held a rally in Schnecksville, PA, on Saturday. I had never been to a Trump rally before because there were none close enough to where I live. But this rally was about an hour and a half away, and I figured it was worth it. It would probably be my last chance to go to a Trump rally before the election.
So I went online and requested admission. Within seconds, I got a text telling me that I was confirmed and that I could use that text for admission into the event.
The event started at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, and Trump was scheduled to hit the stage at 7:00 p.m. For security reasons and others, Trump never makes it to the stage on time. He’s always about 15 minutes late.
I had a lot of friends tell me that I should get there two hours before the event starts, which would have put it at 1:00 p.m. because the parking situation was going to be crazy. So we didn’t get there until around 2:45 p.m., anyway. We actually got there at 2:30 p.m., but the traffic was bumper to bumper to get past the entrance to the field where the rally was being held.
Naturally, the giant parking lot was already filled to the brim, and we could tell that the stadium seats were all taken as well at that point. So we looked up the map that was online for parking lots. There were some that were about a mile and a half away, but they were all filled as well.
So we turned around and headed back towards the stadium, and as we went past the entrance, we asked one of the police officers who was standing guard to block the entrance to the stadium if he knew of any other parking lots around the area. The officer pointed across the street and said, “Right over there, but it’s probably filled. Other than that, no.”

Lo and behold, I got in immediately, paid $25 for all-day parking, and got a spot that was picture-perfect right near the exit. I couldn’t have done better if I tried.
So we got in line around 3:10 p.m. We didn’t hit the secret service checkpoint to let us into the stadium until 7:30 p.m. We stood in line for over four hours, and I would never have done that for anyone other than Donald Trump.
The people we met during that 4-hour wait in line were the greatest experience I’d had in a long time. We met people from all walks of life and from all ages, from under 18 to 19 to 25 to 30 on up.
What warmed my heart was to see that so many young people, when you spoke to them, understood what’s at stake for this election. Unlike many of our youth, these MAGA supporters were very familiar with the issues of national security, border control, our economy, and the lawfare that was being launched against Trump as pure election interference.
I walked with a black man who goes by Bro Terrence. That’s how he wrote his name when he texted me so I could get his number. He was one of the most well-informed people I ever met, and for the group of guys and girls we were walking with for those 4 hours; he was playing the Right Side Broadcasting Network that was covering the rally.
To give you some perspective on where we were in line, from where we started out and going all the way until we were two-thirds of the way to the stadium, we could not hear the loudspeakers of the event inside the stadium. And when we got about halfway there, we looked back and saw that the end of the line was even longer than when we had gotten in it two hours prior.
The wind on Saturday was whipping us at about 30 mph, and those who did not dress appropriately felt the cold that set in. It was a nice day in Schnecksville, sunny and with clear skies, but that wind turned it into what seemed like the middle of winter.
When we made it to the Secret Service security checkpoint, it seemed like we were never going to get through because the single file line split out to a pavilion with two metal detectors. We got in line where Secret Service agents were doing the security wand and checking the items we removed from our clothing. TSA employees were in charge of the other security checkpoint that was right next to them.
The Secret Service agents were the most professional and courteous people we ever met who worked for the government. They got us in, scanned us, and approved our car keys, wallets, and cough drops in record time. The TSA agents were supervised by a Karen who non-stop yelled at the crowd to stop pushing. The Secret Service guys had no problem with it, which is probably why we got through much quicker than the poor saps who were in the other line.
It just so happened that we got to that security checkpoint as the proud to be an American song was playing, and we saw Trump appear at the top of the little walkway that takes into the stage, and he was clapping. There was a giant jumbotron-like screen above the section where the podium was.
We were only about 100 yards or so away from the podium. We were on a plateau above where the stadium sank, standing to the right of the news cameras that were filming the event. After what we endured through that 4 hour line with the wind and no bathrooms until we hit the stadium, we ended up in one of the best places you could be to watch Trump speak.
Trump was how he was for every rally I had watched in the past, where he was very well informed, very funny, very personable with the people, and came across as a man who truly loves our country.
Trump talked about all the failures of the Biden administration that are destroying our country and how he will fix them if elected in November.
The former president said he admired all the people who stood in line for so long with the incredible wind hitting them, at one point saying, “I don’t know how you can stand it. I’m freezing my ass off up here.”
He spoke for a little more than an hour. We knew when he was wrapping up, and so our group left then because we knew the coming long lines to get out. So we left the stadium and walked through the maze of the line that we had stood in for four lines and got out to the street and over across to the parking lot within 10 minutes. We took the exit from the parking lot and were in traffic on the way home two minutes later.
When I woke up this morning, I was shocked to find a political hack columnist named Will Bunch’s article from last night in the Philadelphia Inquirer. The headline tells you exactly what to expect inside the piece:
“‘Trumpstock’ brings peace, unity and a ton of disinformation to Schnecksville.”
With the sub-title:
“Fierce mountain winds in Lehigh County couldn’t move the bubble of misinformation surrounding the throng at a Trump rally.”
You don’t even get into the article, and he has twice insulted 42,000 attendees.
Bunch goes out of his way to make it known that he believes everyone who attended the rally lives in a “bubble” of an “alternative reality.”
How so?
From the People’s Republic of Philadelphia Inquirer:
“These rallygoers are the vanguard of the 74 million who voted for Trump in 2020 and who still have him in a dead heat with Biden, according to a New York Times/Siena College poll released hours before the event — despite or maybe because of the two impeachments, the 88 felony charges, or the Project 2025 blueprint for a “Red Caesar” dictatorship. If the American Experiment grinds to a halt after Jan. 20, 2025, it will ultimately be not the fault of Trump but the everyday citizens I met Saturday who are so eager to put him back in the White House.”
He never mentions in his article that it could be possible that the Democrats are using law fair against the former president, which is why he had two impeachments and 88 felony charges. That thought never crosses the minds of Trump haters.
He went on to categorize Saturday’s rally as an Orwellian celebration of an upside down world, where he insults Trump supporters for believing that ” the lowest unemployment rate in more than 50 years is actually the worst U.S. economy ever.”
I guess Bunch missed any analysis of the March jobs report, where the Biden administration bragged about 302,000 jobs being created when the overwhelming majority of those jobs went not to American workers but to foreign-born people, including many illegal aliens. The majority of those jobs were also part-time jobs that the administration and fake news columnists used to make it appear that the unemployment numbers were the best recorded in history.
After millions of people lost their jobs because of Democrat governors and mayors shut them down during COVID, Trump had set things in place so that a glass of water with AD on it could be elected president and the jobs would come back by the millions. Had Joe Biden done nothing at all, the lost COVID jobs would have come back. But Joe Biden did take action, and he made things bad. Really bad.
The Biden administration brags about 15 million new jobs being created, but they never talk about how the Democrats shut down 22 million jobs during COVID, giving them an 8 million job deficit after nearly four years in charge.
Eight years later, a Trump rally has become an Orwellian celebration of an upside-down world where the lowest unemployment rate in more than 50 years is actually the worst U.S. economy ever, the nation’s cities are cesspools of violence despite a plunging crime rate, and the only person wronged on Jan. 6 was not the scores of injured cops but Ashli Babbitt, shot by “a Black police officer.” I can almost guarantee no one mentioned the officer was black. At least none of the hundreds of people I spoke to would have. That’s the distastefulness of the fake news media that turns people off so much. They have to make things up to make it seem that Trump supporters are all racists.
Another highly insulting part of the TDS hit piece goes like this:
“In a sense, Trump himself is almost like the MacGuffin, the plot device that gives these characters an excuse to get together. ‘We already know what the spiel is, we know what he stands for,’ one man, a middle-aged Canadian American executive, told me. So why wait on this massive line? It’s partly that a rally gives supporters a chance to get off the couch, shut down the TikTok app, turn off YouTube, and prove to themselves they are actually not alone in thinking that everything has gone to heck. But there’s an even more insidious reason for coming out.”
Bunch once again insulted Trump supporters, who couldn’t possibly have gone to the rally because they genuinely support the 45th president after witnessing his many achievements during his first term. No, they attended so that they could “get off the couch, shut down the TikTok app, turn off YouTube, and prove to themselves they are actually not alone in thinking that everything has gone to heck.”
Talk about living in a bubble. It’s amazing how this guy could claim to have attended the rally and questioned people in line, yet not know a damn thing about Trump supporters.
I was at the rally and did not see any of the things that this columnist wrote about. He spent the entire piece insulting Trump and insulting American voters who attended, including me.
So my advice to you is this: don’t listen to these left-wing goofballs in the fake news media. If you have a Trump rally coming to a place in your area and you’ve never been to one before, it is an event that you don’t want to miss. And if you don’t go to this one, you won’t get the chance to go to another in your area.
