Coinciding with the beginning of the 2016 Republican National Convention, an organization called “Citizens for Trump”organized a rally at Cleveland’s Settler’s Landing Park on the riverfront Monday.

A crowd of about 200 supporters, salespeople and curiosity-seekers descended on the park that sits a mile from the Quicken Loans Arena around 11 a.m.  As more gathered, their excitement to celebrate Donald Trump’s victory as the presidential nominee for the Republican Party and the continued fight for the presidency grew.

The morning began as people mingled about, discussing their love of Trump and their hatred of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton with many of them wearing shirts that said “Hillary for Prison.”

Soon after the attendees began to gather at the park, a contingent of 25 motorcycles from the “Bikers for Trump” organization announced their arrival with the deafening roars of their engines.  Arriving with them were two pickup trucks and a horse and buggy adorned with Trump colors.

The attendees came were near and far, the farthest being from Alaska. Mel Hanson of Oklahoma City, Okla., dressed in camouflage fatigues, said he came because, “Alex Jones put the call out for patriots to show up and I answered the call.”

He said that he was also “there to help if things went bad,” adding that he was also there as a medic. A college student from the East Coast, who said he spoke on terms of anonymity out of fear of his peers, said he was with his aunt to support the rally.

“I wasn’t originally a supporter of Trump, but I ended up on the Trump train as soon as it came down between Cruz, Rubio, and Trump,” he said.

But not everyone at the rally were there to support Trump.

A couple who are members of “Bikers for Trump,” nicknamed “Crash” and “BombDog,” said that they were there to support law enforcement. “BombDog” said that “we are just out here to keep the peace.”

Eight people in the crowd could be seen carrying firearms, with five of them having sidearms and three carrying long guns. That did not seem to concern the crowd that had gathered at the park.

When asked why he was openly carrying, Sam Kuric of Pennsylvania said it was to support free speech and the Second Amendment. Kuric said that talks in Cleveland by the police union is about not allowing people to openly carry firearms “a very dangerous conversation to have, so I am out here supporting my right.”

The speaking engagement began with a benediction, with the leader stating that “God gave me a message for you people and that message is Trump will win.”  After performances of the “Pledge of Allegiance” and the “Star-Spangled Banner,” author and co-founder of teapartycommunity.com Ken Crow spoke.

In his speech, Crow said Donald Trump is running to “save what we have built as Americans” and that the attendees needed to “do whatever we have to do to get Trump elected.”

After Crow finished, the president of “Bikers for Trump,” Chris Cox, talked about the top issues that mattered to the bikers, which ranked from which candidate will “take the fight to ISIS” to “build a wall to prevent illegals from getting in.”

Cox said that “this does not make us racist, this makes us patriots.” Arizona Senate candidate Kelli Ward also spoke, criticizing her fellow Arizonian Sen. John McCain for not calling President Obama by his full name, Barack Hussein Obama.

Although a relatively decent-sized crowd was listening to the early speakers, it began to grow as rumors of Alex Jones speaking went around the park. The hill was crowded as Jones, founder of Infowars.com, began his speech.

Jones expressed his fear of globalism, speaking positively about the recent Brexit vote. As he continued, he said that Trump is the candidate to keep the United States self-sufficient without help from the United Nations or NATO, adding that “this planet and the globalist won’t know what will hit them” when he is elected.

According to Jones, Trump “has been surging in every major poll and is ready to win.” He also said that the reason for the restricted airspace above downtown Cleveland was because of planes pulling banners about Infowars in 2012. Since 2000, every major political convention has been designated a “National Special Security Event,” which means it has restricted airspace above it.

During Jones’ speech, comedian Eric Andre from Two Broke Girls and The Eric Andre Show was pushed up onto the stage after Jones ordered his supporters to get the “Daily Show Correspondent” up. (Andre, however, has never been a member of  The Daily Show.)

While on the stage, Andre spoke positively, in a satirical way, about Jones and his beliefs. After about five minutes, he was led off of the stage by security.

After Jones had finished his speech, the group of attendees listening to the speakers dropped dramatically and ended after speeches from Roger Stone and Milo Yiannopolis.
