President Donald Trump rallied with members of the Pennsylvania Dutch community in Lititz, Pennsylvania, thanking them for their support.

My childhood memories in part revolve around things like shoo-fly pie, Lebanon bologna, and Snyder's of Hanover hard pretzels, all items you would find in the Pennsylvania Dutch community of Lititz, PA. That's because my relatives on my dad's side arrived to that part of what would become America in 1716, being of German Dutch descent. Our original family name was not Grider but Krauter, and many generations of our family plowed the fields, built the barns, and worked in the mills of Bethlehem Steel, with my 5-time great uncle Rufus Grider going on to become a locally significant 19-century American primitive historical artist who's work is still in demand to this day.

Today President Trump visited the true backbone of this country, and they turned out in record numbers to enthusiastically receive him. I love my deep Pennsylvania Dutch roots, my Mennonite and Moravian ancestors, and very much appreciate the warm welcome my people gave the president today. 8 days left until the most contentious election of our lifetime takes place, are you ready for what comes next? Get out and vote for 4 more years of President Trump, or you can vote for due-date abortionists who want to raise your taxes and let Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA burn down American's cities.

The choice is crystal-clear, it's Trump or tyranny.

Donald Trump Recognizes Pennsylvania Dutch: ‘They Work Hard’ and Cannot Support ‘Sleepy Joe’

FROM BREITBART NEWS: The Pennsylvania Dutch communities are typically made up of Amish, Mennonite, Lutheran, German Reformed, Moravian, and other groups.

“I heard that the other day,” Trump said. “They said, ‘We can’t have a man who sleeps,’ They work hard. ‘We can’t have a guy that sleeps all day in the basement. We can’t. We like Trump.'”

“We have Pennsylvania Dutch. … Don’t tell anybody but the Pennsylvania Dutch are voting in mass,” Trump says turning around to acknowledge the group.

Trump turned and acknowledged a group of the Pennsylvania Dutch who attended his rally wearing traditional clothing and hats.

“Don’t tell anyone. You know they’re great people, they’re great people, but they’re not known for going out and voting for a variety of reasons,” Trump said.

The group grinned as a few of them flashed a thumbs-up sign at the president as the crowd cheered. Trump recalled that, as a real estate developer, he had a business relationship with the Pennsylvania Dutch.

“Hard workers, incredible craftsmen,” Trump said, adding, “They can throw up a barn in about two days … they use the wooden cogs, they don’t use screws because they want to make everything themselves right?” READ MORE

The fake news media may be telling you that Joe Biden is "way ahead in the polls, but the story on the ground says the exact opposite.
