Minneapolis awaits Trump, crowd of protesters downtown

Minneapolis is bracing for a chaotic scene, with President Donald Trump set to speak Thursday in the heart of the city that overwhelmingly rejected him in 2016.

Two dozen disparate groups plan to protest the visit, from civil rights advocates to labor unions and self-identifying antifa or anti-capitalists. Some estimate more than 10,000 people will flood downtown to oppose the president’s visit.

They will be confronted by counterdemonstrators supporting the president, some of whom follow him across the country such as Bikers for Trump, along with the Minnesota-based Three Percenters militia. That’s in addition to the Trump fans who plan to jam the 19,000-seat Target Center.

Trump's rally is scheduled for 7 p.m. The daily schedule distributed by the White House says he is expected to arrive at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport at 5:55 p.m.

Mayor Jacob Frey has been meeting with Police Chief Medaria Arradondo since Trump announced the visit to strategize how the city will respond to what could be an impassioned confrontation. Though an ardent Trump opponent, Frey says keeping everyone safe is the city’s priority.

Imagine this story written about a protest outside a high school Obama was visiting, to prove he could really pack them in.

If you keep that model in mind as you read this article, it reveals how biased they truly are.

Traffic is picking up - but it looks like a Friday night in downtown Mpls. Foot traffic isn’t too bad.

If you can, I’d try to get down there earlier than 4PM. You may not get a seat, find decent parking, etc.

Rain and the 60’s.

The only freaks to show will be SEIU goons, other paid parasites, and the anarchist thugs. 1,000 tops.

Remember folks: don’t swing at the head. Go for the knees. Sideways if possible. Can be done in a stealthy fashion. It will drop a 120 lb weakling or a 300 lb bruiser and make him sorry he ever showed up. He’ll have a hell of a time in the months and years to come.

Media will only show protesters, not the rally. The legacy media really has embraced their Leftist Activist role.

I'm sure Trump will be back in Minnesota for more rallies this election season.

Minnesota is in play.

Punk Mayor Jacob Frey is fully responsible for whatever happens as a result of his unbridled speaking out against Trump and this rally......he's instigated these groups.

I don't suppose Minnesotans are gonna be too happy watching fascist Antifa and all the Somalis going bat shit crazy tearing up downtown.

If the left gets out a hand in Minneapolis I expect an even greater landslide then before.

The entire Midwest is flipping to Trump because the Democratic Party is a coastal party, actually at coastal city party.

Where is Mayor Jacob Frey (looks like a Mama’s Pajama Boy) and all his thousands of Antifa thugs...or, is it hundreds, or it tens? Does anyone out there in Minneapolis know?

Is the city being torn apart by Frye’s thugs, or are the street venders, selling Chicago Hot dogs and Trump tee shirts on the streets of Minneapolis?

We’ll probably see a few of these.

Would have seen a LOT more had they been able to keep them in stock and been able to deliver more in time for Trump’s visit.
