So I was paying attention to the campaign, watching his rallys every night on stream.
I check his schedule and low and behold he's coming to my town! I was like oh hell yeah this is gonna be sweet I'm gonna see him in person.
So I get up hella early and the friends I was supposed to go with bailed on me, but that wasn't gonna stop me I was gonna go by myself.
I get at UNCW like....3-4 hours early in the burning sun, and there are already a few hundred people in line.
Luckily a lone dude around my age strolls up behind me, decked out in FULL Trump attire. MAGA hat, Trump shirt, pins, the whole deal.
He was by himself so I strike up a conversation something like "dude nice Trump gear. Are you ready this is gonna be legendary". He was like "hell yeah man I drove 2 hours to get here. My friends all bailed on me but I didn't care I was coming." I was like "Hey my friends bailed on me last minute too! Well fuck em' we're more dedicated to the movement" and so on.
So there's shenanigans in line, got a video of a dude riling up the line, anti-trump people selling knockoff hats and pins and stuff.
I was kinda bummed we weren't going to get closer but the line was INSANE behind us so I figured we'd get a decent seat.
While we're standing we all move up some and I see secret service, dogs, all types of security. I'd forgotten I'd had like 3 Suboxone strips and some etizolam tucked away in my wallet. FUCK I ain't losing my place in line, so I ask my newfound buddy to hold my place and I haul ass back to my car and drop off the goods.
I run back and maybe an hour later its GO TIME. They start slowly letting people in.
Its our turn and I think I had to empty pockets or go through metal detector or something, and we get in the stadium and stand behind a small crowd that gathered around the rails. There are 2 sets, a VIP right up front, and then one with the general crowd.
Well my dude was brainstorming on how to get in VIP, as we didn't see ticket options or anything. We walked around and he asked some guys from Trumps campaign how you got to get in that area. Long story short since he was 100% Trump decked out, the guys from the campaign handed him a shitload of "Make America Great Again" and "The Silent Majority Stands with Trump" signs and ask him to put them all on the seats that were a level up where the people would be on camera behind Trump. He handed me half the signs and agreed but said "Yeah man we can do that, but let your guys know to let us in VIP" and the guy agreed.
OH YEAH! So we navigate our way to the upper area. I'm kinda nervous cause I see the crowd growing and if something falls through we'd end up way farther back than original. But we haul ass and lay a sign on every seat and get back down to the crowd. He went to the guy guarding VIP entrance and the dude was like naw you guys don't have a pass, so some original confusion but we found the dude who agreed and he waived to the dude to let is in.
SCOREEEEE Were in awe fucking middle front literally like 10 ft away the podium.
I was fat at the time (I know hard to imagine with my current muscular state) and had some redneck looking facial hair but you can see me pictured here, and then in the longer distance photo
And the picture has Rudy Juliani but as you see Trump posted it, and thats how far away we were. Dude in the blue shirt was my buddy I met and who essentially got me the opportunity to shake Trumps hand.
So the whole thing was awesome, got better position than I ever thought I would, shook the mans hand, which as I said I felt a little bit of his near unlimited strength and stamina, the same which was used to defeat low-energy Hilary.
I hope to find my photos and video of him walking by. I'm sure I still have them on an old phone but its pissing me off cause obviously those are photos I made sure I had. I was trying to a video of me shaking his hand but secret service was very aggressive and basically keeping everybodys hands down around him. After me and my dude shook his hand we look at each other, double hi-five and screamed "OH MY GOD WE SHOOK HIS HAND OHHH YEAHH THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER WOOOO"
We exchanged numbers so we could send each other the pictures we got. I still have his number I believe I should hit him up ask how he's Making America Great Again and stuff.
And I still have my sign to this day
And dats da story of how a nigga like me shook the most powerful man in the world's hand
So keep Making America Great Again, fellow niggas
