In Miami, Trump’s ardent backers are a sign of the city’s rightward shift

Associated Press  

MIAMI — Florida’s shift to the right is perhaps nowhere more notable than in this vibrant swath of the state’s southeast coast where the latest Donald Trump drama is unfolding. “When I left, Venezuela was ready to collapse, we would’ve taken it over and would’ve gotten all that oil,” Trump said at a campaign rally in Greensboro. “But now we’re buying oil from Venezuela, so we’re making a dictator very rich.” Trump supporter Hope Quant, a native Nicaraguan, spent three hours waiting outside the Doral golf resort to show her support for the former president when he arrived Monday. At a news conference on the eve of Trump’s court appearance, Miami Police Chief Manuel Morales declined to get into the specifics of the security precautions but said he didn’t expect any problems. “Those of us who believe that America’s salvation only comes if Donald Trump is elected for a second term, we will gather on Tuesday,” Otaola said in a YouTube clip.
