On March 5, 2016, Donald Trump (Republican) stopped at the CFE Arena at the University of Central Florida (UCF) as part of his presidential campaign. Some UCF students greeted him with a protest.
“I’m here protesting because I don’t believe in inciting hatred and I don’t believe in using politics to incite hatred for attacking any race or religion.” – Samra Ahmed
“I’m here protesting Donald Trump because I believe that Donald Trump represents what’s worst in America. I believe he brings out people that are hateful and he brings out people that are ready to destroy the fabric of America. The immigration hate speech and the ways that he wants to change our country are not healthy for our country.” – Joel Pieper“I’m here protesting Donald Tump because I think that it’s important for young people to make the difference. I’m not even allowed to vote yet, and I think it is important that my opinion matters.” Alex Ikuza
“I’m protesting Donald Trump because he’s a reality TV star who thinks he can be racist and xenophobic and play on the fears of the idiot Americans who he can get to propel himself into office.” – Benjamin GregoryMan holds up sign supporting Trump during his rally in Orlando, FL, March 5, 2016.Donald Trump speaking to his supporters during his Orlando, FL campaign stop, March 5, 2016.Cross-dresser seen impersonating Donald Trump at his Orlando, FL campaign stop, March 5, 2016.Hundreds of students, inside and outside the arena showed up to protest Republican candidate Donald Trump during his Orlando, FL campaign stop, March 5, 2016.“He’s an incredible danger to the United States.
