When former president Donald Trump arrived in New Hampshire to register for the state’s Republican primary, he was greeted with “lock him up” chants. In the afternoon, he was scheduled to hold a rally with his supporters.
“Vote for Trump, Solve Your Problems.”
Along with eight other GOP contenders, former President Donald Trump penned that sentiment on a commemorative poster on Monday as he filed to run in New Hampshire’s first-ever Republican primary election.
Trump Supporters Wait With Patience
It was more than just a remark for Trump fans who were gathered 29 miles away at the New England Sports Center in Derry, New Hampshire, where the mogul was scheduled to appear in a few hours. They used it as a rallying cry and a major justification for their intention to support the businessman who is now running for president in the primaries later this year.
“The Least I Can Do Is Give Him My Vote”: Trump’s Base of Followers Ironically Grows
Speaking with voters in line for the event, USA TODAY found that many supported Trump in the 2024 contest both in spite of and as a result of his indictments in four current criminal proceedings. A 65-year-old Concord, New Hampshire, child support officer named Chris Wood stated, “He’s the only man to do the job that’s in front of us.” Wood was at the front of a line extending the whole length of the indoor sports facility. “I won’t stand for anybody being persecuted the way he’s been persecuted. He doesn’t deserve it. The least I can do is give him my vote, but damn, he’s getting it,” she remarked.
“Lock Him Up! Donald Trump!”

Yet State’s GOP Voters Seem to Majorly Embrace the Former President
Still, the majority of the state’s GOP voters support the former president. According to the most recent Suffolk University/Boston Globe/USA TODAY poll conducted in New Hampshire, Trump has about 50% of the vote. He was ahead of former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley by over thirty points.
“He’s a Jerk. Nobody Likes Him.”
Although supporters of Trump claim that his occasionally blustery and vulgar speaking style isn’t what inspires them, they still don’t necessarily enjoy it. “I mean, he’s a jerk. Nobody likes him,” according to Epping, New Hampshire resident Cathlene Harvey, 73, who also told USA TODAY that she thinks he was one of the greatest US presidents. “He’s taken care of everything that he promised he was going to take care of and I felt safe while he was president.”

Costs of Fuel Motivating Voters’ Support for Trump
When it comes to the percentage of people who heat their houses with oil, New Hampshire comes in second place nationwide. Additionally, a lot of locals have noticed changes in energy prices firsthand.

Diane Galvin expressed special concern about the effect energy expenses will have on her two 30-year-old children.

According to Galvin, “everything is so high now that they have to dip into their savings.” And they put in a lot of effort at work. During his campaign path, including a rally stop in New Hampshire, Trump said that if elected to a second term, he would bring the United States to “energy dominance,” which would save expenses. “When I step in as president we will unleash the most powerful weapon: Drill baby drill,” he declared to raucous applause and whistles from the MAGA-clad assembly crammed inside the sports complex.
“We’re Borrowing Billions of Dollars to Give Other People Money”: Voters Criticize Biden Admin
Voters throughout the nation have responded favorably to Trump’s proposals for an agenda that puts America first ever since the early stages of his 2016 campaign. This year is no different as the battles in Israel and the Ukraine continue. In an attack on the Biden administration’s foreign policy goals, Claudia Miller remarked, “We’re borrowing billions of dollars to give other people money.” She expressed her preference for the next U.S. president to concentrate more on creating employment for citizens of this nation, as did other voters USA TODAY talked with at the Trump event.
Trump Promises He “Will Prevent World War III”
Furthermore, during his speech in Derry, Trump did not declare that his government would completely renounce its foreign obligations, even though he has consistently upheld his America First policy. Amidst thunderous cheers, Trump addressed the American people, saying, “To every American who is terrified that Crooked Joe’s weakness will cause catastrophic global conflict, which it already has, I make you this promise: as your president, I will restore peace through strength —and I will prevent World War III.”
“Decision to Take a Mugshot Was a Bit of an Ego Trip for Fulton Attorney Fani Willis”: Trump’s Lawyer
Trump made history in August when he became the first US president to ever have his mugshot taken. While he was being detained at an Atlanta prison for allegedly attempting to have the Georgia 2020 election results reversed, his mugshot was taken. Fulton County District counsel Fani Willis’s choice to have a mugshot taken was described by his counsel, Alina Habba, as “a bit of an ego trip.”
Trump Isn’t a Flight Risk According to His Attorneys
According to Alina, who spoke with Fox News, “The purpose of a mug shot is when you don’t recognize someone, you think there’s a flight risk.” “This man is the most famous person in the world, the leading [Republican] candidate right now.”
Trump’s Hush Money
In addition, Trump was charged with making up company papers to try and hide the payment of “hush money” to Stormy Daniels prior to the 2016 election. He was charged with acting in this way to prevent Stormy from disclosing that he had an affair with the star.
