There is a burgeoning political movement of bikers in America that wants to take their organization nationwide, and they’re going all in for Donald Trump. It’s an unprecedented step—bikers are a demographic that has never been tapped by a political campaign before.
Trump has embraced his biker supporters with gusto.
“My biker friends,” Trump said during a Q&A at a recent Wisconsin rally. His new friends aren’t just fans and are now pledging to provide ad hoc security at for their new hero, using violence.
“If that means taking someone else’s life, that’s what we’re going to have to do,” one biker said, in a video shared by Bikers for Trump, on beefing up security.
Trump Patriots, which illustrated its group with bikers and described its purpose as “to provide outside security at all Trump rallies and events countering the paid protest agitators,” racked up more than 18,000 followers.
Ahead of a Trump rally in Janesville, an image circulated calling for bikers to “Mobilize to KICK SOME ASS!”
“Bikers For Trump are mobilizing for ALL future TRUMP rallies” reads the graphic, which was signed B4T, or Bikers for Trump.
Chris Cox, who founded Bikers for Trump 2016 in August, says, “We are not looking for a fight, but at the same time, if someone starts one, we won’t back down”.
Cox—a 47-year-old 'chainsaw artist' from South Carolina who was once praised by Republican congressman Darrell Issa as, “an American patriot and one-man member of the Monument Militia”—is the de facto leader and spokesman of the fledgling political movement, which aims to mobilize bikers as a legitimate, sizeable voting bloc, and (of course) to help make Trump the most powerful man in the world.
“We’re just building this coalition, and when I’m done with this demographic, it’s gonna be as strong as the Teamsters or the NRA—we got a ground game,” Cox said. “I’ve talked to a lot of bikers to take the political temperature and they were all for Trump.”
Cox and his comrades will be plotting events in future primary states, including two biker rallies in New York, before heading to California where Cox imagines “we’ll have the biggest biker political rally that’s ever been seen”.
Cox believes that Bikers for Trump is an absolute necessity because the Secret Service hasn’t risen to the occasion. “Look at the uprisings going on at Donald Trump rallies! It’s not our nature to sit by idly to watch this civil disobedience right under our noses. Donald Trump is our guy.”
Cox claims to have personally escorted roughly 25 protesters out of various Trump rallies.
Trump has praised his biker supporters before, both on stage and on social media, touting their endorsements and even getting personal.
“Boy, do you look good, though,” Trump told a biker at the Janesville rally. “You look good and tough. I wouldn’t want to fight you. That would be great for television.”
