A semi-undercover look at the Trump roadshow that stopped in Austin last week.
Whatever I tell you next about the American Freedom Tour's stop in Austin, it should be absorbed in this context: When a former president of the United States speaks, journalists should be there. But, in this case, as Donald Trump put it himself at the May 14 event,"We didn't want the press to come so we kept them out and they went crazy."
One younger man who was also there alone and also wearing cowboy boots leaned across from his seat to mine early in the day and said,"I feel like these events need a younger energy. It feels like a boomer show," to which I responded by offering a chuckled"yeah" before inconspicuously, like a normal person would, typing up what he just said into my phone.
When the crowd had swelled to its peak – an hour or so before the event was set to end – came the 15-minute hard-sell spiel to donate to Trump, also via QR code."Freedom is not free. Think about that. Think about it. What is the cost of freedom? Everyone here today can help with at least $20. … You have to give with all you've got. … I see people all around the room with their phones out. [If your neighbor's isn't out] tap them on the shoulder.
Guilfoyle said things like,"Trump knew the importance of standing up to China. … If China controls Taiwan, they own the global economy almost overnight." And other things like,"The Paris Climate Accord doesn't hold China accountable and puts us at a disadvantage."Don Jr.
