The notorious “Trump Train” supporters are finally seeing their day in court
What happened on Oct. 30, 2020?
“Dozens of cars and trucks organized by a local Trump Train group swarmed the bus on its way from San Antonio to Austin. It was the last day of early voting in Texas for the 2020 general election, and the bus was scheduled to make a stop in San Marcos for an event at Texas State University.” – The Associated Press, Nadia Lathan, September 14, 2024 – A ‘Trump Train’ convoy surrounded a Biden-Harris bus. Was it political violence?
“Democrats on the bus said they feared for their lives as Trump supporters in dozens of trucks and cars nearly caused collisions, rammed a Biden-Harris campaign staffer’s car and forced the bus driver to repeatedly swerve for safety. Videos of the confrontation on Oct. 30, 2020, including some recorded and shared on social media by the Trump supporters themselves, show a group of cars and pickup trucks — many adorned with large Trump flags — crowding the campaign bus, boxing it in, slowing it down and keeping it from exiting the highway.” – The Associated Press News, Nadia Lathan, September 9, 2024 – Trial begins over Texas ‘Trump Train’ highway confrontation

This book unpacks his errant statements about the economy, immigration, the impeachment hearings, foreign policy, and, of critical concern now, the coronavirus crisis as it unfolded.
