President Donald Trump tweeted his support of "MAGA-GRAS" as Long Islanders led an hourslong caravan across county lines.
LONG ISLAND, NY — "MAGA-PALOOZA 5," another parade in support of President Donald Trump, traversed a chunk of Long Island on Sunday. And it got the attention of the president.
"Have a GREAT 'MAGA-GRAS' Rally today on our wonderful Long Island," Trump tweeted roughly an hour before the caravan took off. "Cut Taxes, Stop Crime, VOTE FOR TRUMP. Our City and State are a MESS. What do you have to lose? Thank you!!!"
The parade kicked off at Walt Whitman Mall in Huntington Station at 11 a.m. and traveled west to Eisenhower Park. It lasted for more than two hours and led to congestion on the Hempstead Turnpike.
