DE PERE, WI (WTAQ) – GOP frontrunner Donald Trump made an appearance on the campaign trail Wednesday at St. Norbert College in De Pere.
Hundreds of supporters and students filled the Walter Theater on campus.
Wendy Bennet drove from Marinette to see Mr. Trump speak.
“I think the country is definitely in need of a big change. I’m a Trump supporter because he speaks to my condition and a lot of people. I think he tells the truth…maybe not in the most eloquent of ways at times, but he’s not a candy-coated liar.”
The Republican Presidential candidate’s stop wasn’t without opposition.
Students gathered in front of the art building to sit in peaceful protest of Trump’s visit and his policies.
“I personally don’t agree with pretty much everything that Mr. Trump has been preaching lately,” says junior Erick Konop. “I think he discourages diversity…really doesn’t offer any solutions to the problems facing the United States right now.”
Trump spoke about jobs and the economy. He also spent a significant amount of time talking about success and momentum. The business mogul is also still standing by his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, over a recent incident with a female reporter in Florida.
“This young woman, reporter, who shouldn’t have been where she was, and she grabbed me twice, she said I was jolted backwards…she wasn’t, right? Did anyone disagree?”
Wisconsin’s primary will take place Tuesday, April 5th.
