MANDAN, N.D.—Mandan isn't Charlottesville. Or Standing Rock. The crowd gathered along Mandan Avenue outside the main gate of the refinery where President Donald Trump spoke here on Wednesday, Sept. 6, was small, largely quiet and mostly polite.
Trump supporters outnumbered protesters 2-to-1 in the block closest to the gate by the time the president spoke mid-afternoon. Marty Beard of tiny Stewartsdale southeast of Bismarck was the first to arrive at 8:30 a.m. He wore a bowler hat and a long beard befitting his name.
"I want to show my support for the president and let him know that there are still states left that believe in freedom," he said. "You might as well leave the country if you don't want to make it great again."
Trump supporters gathered on the east side of Mandan Avenue, waving American and "Don't Tread on Me" flags. One man set up tables and was selling Trump T-shirts, hats and posters. They carried homemade signs. One said "Deport Antifa, BLM, Illegals, Muhammad Lovers."
Mandan police put placards in the grass that lined the road, designating the east side of the street for Trump supporters and the west side for protesters. But at first there were no protesters in the designated spot and they were hard to find anywhere on the street until later in the day.

North Dakota went like over 70% for Trump last November.
Not a surprise most people in the state like the President.
Finally rolled out of bed, did they?
LOLOL
Why? Because the scumbags in antifa are largely school teachers and needed to get back to poisoning minds in classrooms instead of attacking cops and Americans in the streets. Watch these scumbag festivals shrink by the day,
He owes over a billion in tax money’
