This is beyond amazing to see.
President Trump has one of the most faithful support bases a U.S. President has ever had.
After hearing about Trump tested positive for the Coronavirus 2,500 Staten Islanders held a rally to support our President and wished him well.
Watch the video below the support President Trump has is just mind-blowing.

The New York Post covered the mass gathering in Staten Island and added this to the story:
In a get-well effort of Trump-ian proportions, thousands of New Yorkers turned out Saturday to support the president as he battles COVID-19.
An estimated 2,500 Staten Islanders — many decked out in red, white, and blue — turned out for a rally at a Charleston shopping mall to bow their heads in prayer for President Trump and boost local Republicans.
Meanwhile, some 700 flag-bedecked vehicles converged on Albany from all parts of the state for a pro-Trump caravan that at one point stretched for four miles along the New York State Thruway.
“We need leaders. We don’t need followers!”

Big Staten Island rally for Trump is still on for tomorrow, and organizers say they are recommending – but still not requiring – masks https://t.co/RPjoEtT8bZ by @amandafarinacci @NY1

Staten Island Live exclusively covered the story too:
Scores of avid supporters of President Donald Trump made clear on Saturday that a vocal portion of Staten Island stands with him and his bid for reelection.
The Staten Island Republican Party estimated 2,500 people, many of them unmasked, packed into the parking lot of the Bricktown Commons in Charleston for an event titled the “Triumph Rally” in support of the president and his party.
Many were decked out in Trump gear — shirts, hats, masks. There were flags and signs, a life-sized Trump cutout, and a massive poster reading, “The Fight of the Century: Law and Order vs. Anarchy” that superimposed the president’s image over Muhammad Ali in the famous photo of his knockout punch during his title defense in Ali-Liston II.
Of course, Democrats had negative things to say on Twitter about how Trump supporters weren’t wearing masks.

This is why no one acknowledges Staten Island and Long Island as part of New York. https://t.co/2YHqdzZbGs
