It wasn’t just the rumble of nearly 200 motorcycles that raised eyebrows at the normally sedate Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, over the weekend.
The attire of the attendees at the Bikers for Trump rally – invited by Trump himself – appeared to be normal biker fare and that’s the reason for the increased scrutiny.
Aside from an inordinate amount of leather, bandanas and other stereotypical biker accoutrements, many of the attendees at the rowdy rally wore patches with sexist and other offensive sayings.
A bearded man who is part of a New Jersey “Bikers for Trump” group stood with the president as he shook hands inside the club, and once again when the group posed for photos outside, engines revving, according to the Washington Post.

“I (heart) Guns & Titties,” reads one patch on the unidentified man’s vest. The patch features a drawing of a woman’s naked torso and breasts and a pair of handguns atop her nipples, the publication noted.
Other patches visible in blown-up versions of images from the rain-drenched event include one that reads “This is America. We eat meat, we drink beer and we speak [expletive] English.”

While the attendees went through the usual Secret Service background check, no one within the White House staff apparently took a closer look at the attire of the group to ensure the president was photographed with anyone or anything controversial.

A White House spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Trump appeared to enjoy the event, lingering and shaking hands and encouraging the bikers to rev louder. He praised the group as having been loyally with him from the start of his campaign, the Post noted.
What? Many men love guns and titties. What’s wrong with that? Jalopnik called and want their writer back.
And that belongs at a celebration at the White House attended by a president calling for a boycott of an iconic American company just days before he again disparages a woman by calling her a “dog”?
The Enquirer seems to be scripting these news conferences.

This story is fabricated
Ah, no, actually, it isn’t. You may not LIKE it, but the reality is there, as the picture demonstrates.

The photo was already debunked. It was changed.
Uh, no, it wasn’t. Sorry. In fact, I spent a fair bit of time before we ran the story looking at SEVERAL shots showing the same bikers with the same patches. All were the same but came from different sources. I just did an additional search to see what was being posted re claiming the pics were altered — or debunked. There is not a thing out there that indicates they are false or faked.
You can make things up, Joe, to justify your position. But that doesn’t make those things real. Sorry.
