The Los Angeles Times paid a visit to Donald Trump’s Southern California headquarters in Long Beach on Monday and was stunned by the diversity of volunteers who are committed to seeing him win the Golden State and the presidency.
“It was as if the whole thing had been staged, in Cambodia Town, no less, to belie the notion that Trump’s appeal is largely limited to older white males,” the Times‘s Steve Lopez wrote. In Long Beach, one of America’s most diverse cities, that same diversity was reflected in Trump’s supporters at his Southern California headquarters.
Lopez spoke with a woman and millennials of Filipino descent, a Mexican-American, and a Jewish man, and saw the “names of volunteers from the African-American, Hispanic and Asian communities” written on blackboards adorning the names of volunteers. He noted that “two middle-aged white people [also] joined the party.”
Trump’s grand opening for his headquarters took place this past Saturday, and Breitbart News was there to cover it. As Lopez was told, there were hundreds of people there over the course of the opening; many of them were able to enjoy a performance that was put on by dancers from the Khmer Arts Cultural Center, known as a traditional Cambodian “blessing dance;” something Lopez wrote he would have paid to see.
Lopez wrote that an unnamed Mexican-American Trump volunteer told him that “there are too many illegals here… and they dirty the place up and they take jobs and do things hey shouldn’t.” Lopez noted that once he found out he was with the Times, the man said “the only thing the Times is any good for is to wrap fish in it,” before walking away.

The real headline should have been. “The L.A. Times is Stunned by the TRUTH!”
Well, great minds think alike, AuntB! :-) I won’t fight you for him. You can have him! LOL
Well, to heck with him if he’s not worth fighting over!
...snicker.....
He’s surprised that expatriate Khmer would support a Republican? Not the GOP’s fault that Nixon had to leave office...earlier than expected.
:)
“the only thing the Times is any good for is to wrap fish in it,”..
Welcome aboard, Mexican American! You’re a LEGAL one.
This lifts my spirits. I’ve seen people on twitter that i would have NEVER seen in another republican election.
Black DJs rooting for Trump, rappers, asian americans, hispanics, rock n roll stars :).
Would be great irony if Trump bring everyone together after what he’s been painted as!
She’s spending money because she is potentially losing ground - and going to cost down-ticket elections...
I thought he was RACIST...
