Hours before Donald Trump is set to speak in Waco, Texas, his diehard fans have already begun lining up to see their presidential candidate.
The former president, 76, is set to hold a rally in Waco this afternoon, coinciding with the 30th anniversary of the FBI raid on Branch Davidians formerly led by David Koresh.
As Trump fans do best, hundreds came dressed in the Republican‘s merchandise, from ‘Trump Girl’ shirts to Make America Great Again hats, as they lined up in droves as early as 7am.
One man was even seen running down the streets of Waco holding an American flag with Trump’s face printed on it and the words: ‘Trump’s Front Row Joes.’
The Branch Davidians are said to be excited about Trump’s weekend rally in Waco and consider him to be ‘the anointed of God.’

The Branch Davidians are said to consider the former president as ‘the battering ram that God is using to bring down the Deep State of Babylon.’
The 1993 Waco siege was a 51-day standoff between the US government and the Branch Davidians.
The FBI’s raid on the group’s compound, Mount Carmel, which the Branch Davidians view as a government overstep, is similar to what they claim happened to Trump.
Trump’s holding of a rally in Waco is ‘a statement — that he was sieged by the FBI at Mar-a-Lago and that they were accusing him of different things that aren’t really true, just like David Koresh was accused by the FBI when they sieged him,’ Koresh’s successor, Pastor Charles Pace, told the New York Times.

Trump has not publicly made the connection between his rally and the anniversary with a spokesperson stating how Waco was simply chosen as the location for the rally due to its central location in Texas.
‘[Trump chose Waco] because it is centrally located and close to all four of Texas’ biggest metropolitan areas — Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio — while providing the necessary infrastructure to hold a rally of this magnitude,’ Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung stated.
But there is no doubt Trump picked solidly Republican territory in Waco, where he won surrounding McClennan County by more than 20 points in 2020.
