Juggalos Vs Trump Supporters: Clash In DC Possible As Rallies Collide

A crowd of Trump supporters will be rallying on the National Mall at the same time as the "Juggalo March" on Sept. 16.

WASHINGTON, DC – A large group of Trump supporters may clash with a rally of "Juggalos" being held on the National Mall in D.C. at the same time on Saturday, Sept. 16, although it's anyone's guess what will happen when the two rallies meet.

"The Mother of All Rallies," as the Pro-Trump group calls it, is marching on the Mall to send "a message to congress the media and the world" that "we stand united to defend American culture & values," according to their website.

Also scheduled that day: the Juggalo March, when followers of the music group Insane Clown Posse put on their makeup and head to the National Mall to "bring national attention to the ongoing discrimination and profiling that Juggalos continue to be subjected to following the group’s inclusion in the U.S. Department of Justice’s 2011 National Gang Task Force report," according to organizers.

It's unclear whether most Juggalos are pro or anti Trump, so there's a lot of uncertainty about what will take place on the National Mall when the two groups encounter each other. But it will definitely be interesting.

That said, don't expect crowds anything like what we saw during the Women's March on Washington. Despite calling itself the "Mother of All Rallies," only 2,000 have indicated they're going on the Facebook page, compared with an estimated half a million who showed up for the Women's March on Jan. 21. So expect a small crowd of people walking around in Trump hats.

As for the Juggalos? Well, here's their promo video. It's interesting to say the least (and contains strong language).

The rap metal group sued the U.S. Justice Department on Wednesday over a 2011 FBI report that describes the duo's devoted fans, the Juggalos, as a dangerous gang, saying the designation has tarnished their fans' reputations and hurt business.
