Former President Donald Trump marked his 78th birthday with a political rally in West Palm Beach, Florida, surrounded by members of Club 47, a local group of Trump supporters. The event, which Trump described as the biggest birthday party he has ever had, featured the presentation of a Make America Great Again-themed birthday cake.
During the rally, Trump revisited familiar themes from his campaign, including his belief that President Biden is mentally incompetent to hold office. He expressed his concerns about the current state of the country, stating, 'Our country is being destroyed by incompetent people. All presidents should have aptitude tests.'
Club 47, based in Palm Beach County, aims to keep local Trump supporters engaged with the campaign. The club sold out its approximately 5,000 tickets, priced at $35 each, with more exclusive seats near the stage available for $60.
One of the highlights of the event was Trump's promise to build an 'Iron Dome' for the United States, inspired by former President Ronald Reagan. Trump emphasized that the missile defense shield would be 'made in America,' creating job opportunities for Americans. He stated, 'By next term, we will build a great Iron Dome over our country. We deserve a dome. We deserve it all, made state of the art.'
Trump's birthday rally showcased his continued engagement with his supporters and his commitment to advancing his political agenda. The event drew significant attention and underscored the ongoing influence of the former president within the political landscape.
