Thousands Turn Out For Trump in Huntington

Thousands of Long Islanders turned out for the big Trump MAGA Rally/Parade through the Town of Huntington today.

East Northport- Thousands of Long Islanders turned out for the big Trump MAGA Rally/Parade through the Town of Huntington today. It seemed like it was as big (or bigger) than last Sunday's caravan to Riverhead-Greenport. Initial estimates are that 1,000+ cars/trucks and well over 2,000 people participated at the start with others joining along the way.

The parade kicked off shortly after 12:00 noon from the AMC Theater parking lot (a.k.a. Sears) at 4000 Jericho Turnpike in East Northport.

The caravan headed up Larkfield Road, which had many groups of enthusiastic Trump supporters at some of the major intersections and shopping areas. The seemingly endless line of cars & trucks wound its way around Northport toward Crab Meadow then back to Northport's Main Steet toward the Harbor.

Occasionally along the way, caravan participants were given the middle finger "salute" and shouted expletives by a few unhappy anti-Trumpers. There was also a contingent of about 25 pro-Biden/anti-Trump individuals gathered in front of Northport's First Presbyterian Church at the corner of Main Street & Ocean Avenue.

Noticeably, there was no violence, no trashing businesses, no fires just our home town showing its patriotism and approval for President Trump who has accomplished more in his 1st term than many of the others combined ... a thriving economy & stock market, lowest minority unemployment in our history, historic Middle East peace deal and much, much more.
