Demonstrations in support of the presidency of Donald Trump were held in various parts of the United States following Trump's assumption of the office of President on January 20, 2017.
Although the series of nationwide, pro-Trump "Spirit of America" rallies held on January 27, 2017 failed to draw crowds, [1] [2] some subsequent rallies saw sizeable turnouts. The March 4 Trump was a series of more than two dozen demonstrations organized throughout the United States on March 4. [3] The Trump Free Speech Rally was organized by Patriot Prayer and held in Portland, Oregon in June, and saw clashes with counter protesters. [4] The Mother of All Rallies was held on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on September 16 and drew several hundred participants. [5] [6] [7]
In July 2018, during President Trump's visit to the United Kingdom, demonstrators in support of far-right activist Tommy Robinson as well as Trump were held. [8] [9] The march in support of the US president were organized just a day after there was a held a big rally to oppose President Trump's visit to Britain. It had been planned from the beginning that Trump's supporters would merge with those of the EDL founder. [10] The pro-Trump protesters wore Make America Great Again hats chanting "USA" as they also supported Tommy Robinson. [11]
A day before the protests, Scotland Yard had announced that it would impose restrictions to "prevent serious disorder and disruption to Londoners" [10] after violence was witnessed during the previous protest in a bid to free Robinson. The order stated that no vehicles would be involved and the two groups of protesters had to use the route from Temple Place to Whitehall. Even as the two groups merged to protest, Trump himself had not made any public remark on the imprisonment of Tommy Robinson. Nonetheless, his son Donald Trump Jr. had expressed his support for the extremist on his Twitter handle. Also, the Republican Congressman Paul Gosar who also attended the "Free Tommy" rally as well as the former White House chief strategist, Steve Bannon, who had given a message supporting the protest to free Robinson.

Demonstrations were held in reaction to President Donald Trump's false claims of electoral fraud in light of Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election. [12] [13]
On January 5 and January 6, 2021, supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump gathered in Washington, D.C., to protest against the result of the 2020 presidential election, and support Trump's demand for Vice President Mike Pence and Congress to reject president-elect Joe Biden's victory. [14] [15] On January 6 protestors marched on Congress and broke into the United States Capitol. [16] Several buildings in the U.S. Capitol complex were evacuated. [17] [18] This also led multiple cabinet members, including Mick Mulvaney, Elaine Chao, and Betsy DeVos, to resign. [19]
Trump's support demonstrations were held during the Donald Trump 2024 presidential campaign following the attempted assassination. [20] Donald Trump's tribute to Corey Comperatore, an American of Italian origin, the victim of his failed assassination attempt, was greatly appreciated by the large Italian-American community. [21] [22] Corey Comperatore, former fire chief, protected his family and died a hero. [23] [24] The images broadcast around the world of the moment the attacker's first bullet struck Trump's ear had a powerful impact on his supporters not only in the United States, but around the world. Powerful images that almost implied divine intervention. [25] [26] [27] [28] Doug Mills won Pulitzer Prize for some of these images. [29]
Pro-Trump rallies, held by his supporters, were held to mark his election victory and second presidency.
In August 2025, Trump received direct support and appreciation from the international community and demonstrations of support took place during his numerous attempts to end the Russo-Ukrainian war.
In September 2025, following the assassination of Republican activist Charlie Kirk, massive rallies of support for Trump and the Republicans took place across the United States and around the world. [30] [31] Charlie Kirk, a young right-winger with conservative views, sought dialogue and public debate, particularly in American high school, college, and university campuses. These public debates and discussions were not universally welcomed, but respected democratic principles. [32] [33] After his assassination, United States triggered a violent divisive politics between Republicans and Democrats. [34] [35] [36] [37]
In October 2025, Trump received widespread direct support and appreciation from the international community, as well as demonstrations of support for reaching the complex Gaza peace plan. [38] [39]
