Former President Donald Trump shared a heartwarming exchange with a young black woman during his visit to a Chick-fil-A. The encounter unfolded while Trump was on the campaign trail in Atlanta, discussing his administration’s efforts to support Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
The young woman, amidst the bustling crowd, voiced her appreciation for Trump’s work. “We took care of those colleges,” Trump remarked.
“Sure did! Sure did! Much better than Biden did,” the young woman said.
“I don’t care what the media tells you, Mr. Trump. We support you. We love you!” she added.
Trump, visibly moved by the support, invited the young woman for a hug, saying, “Come here, let me give you a hug.” The embrace was followed by a request for a photograph.
WATCH:
As the young woman promised to share the moment with her mother, it was clear that the brief encounter at the fast-food restaurant was about more than just politics. Earlier in the day, Trump also covered the bill at the Chick-fil-A for all the customers there. Trump was warmly received by both employees and customers.
The former President ordered 30 milkshakes and instructed staff to prepare “chicken for everybody,” insisting on paying for all the orders himself. Witnesses reported that Trump engaged in friendly conversations with several patrons and staff members, taking a moment to compliment one woman on her jewelry, which added a personal touch to his visit. The gesture of goodwill and casual interaction with the crowd highlighted a lighter side of the former President, known for his spontaneous public appearances.
WATCH:
As videos of the event emerged on social media, the scene at the Chick-fil-A showed a crowded and energized atmosphere, with supporters cheering and clamoring for photos. Trump’s visit seemed to momentarily transform the fast-food restaurant into a hub of excitement and support for the former President.
“How you doing, Trump?” asked one attendee.
“I’m doing good,” said Trump.
“I love you, man,” the attendee hilariously finished.
Regardless of the political divide, the visit undeniably created a memorable day for those at the Chick-fil-A.
