Trump campaign rally opens with January 6 choir in Waco
Donald Trump, at the end of a long rally to kick off his 2024 presidential campaign, treated himself to perhaps his favourite food - McDonald’s.
Boxes of food from the fast-food chain were seen being carried onto Mr Trump’s private plane after the event in Waco, Texas, in pictures shared by the former president’s adviser Jason Miller.
The image showed a box of 20 Chicken McNuggets and a Quarter-Pounder with cheese. “Tasty treats,” Mr Miller wrote.
Mr Trump’s staff was also photographed carrying McDonald’s bags onto the plane.
In his rally speech, Mr Trump said, “if we don’t win this election in 2024, I truly believe our country is doomed”.
He slammed what he called “demonic forces” who are “destroying the country”.
“Either the Deep State destroys America or we destroy the Deep State,” the former president said.
“They’re flooding your towns with deadly drugs selling your jobs to China, mutilating your children … setting fire to your life savings, releasing violent criminals to prey on innocent people.”
