One protester made a three-and-a-half hour drive to Mar-a-Lago to show support for Trump as soon as he heard the news.

"As soon as I saw it, I drove here from Tampa. This is nuts," J.D. Kennon told Fox News. "We all know what you're trying to do, DOJ. You're trying to create some kind of charge, so he's not going to be able to run for re-election."

Kennon was joined by about 50 other protesters and dozens of vehicles that lined the property. Many vehicles brandished Trump 2020 and American flags while protesters in patriotic garb cheered, yelled, blared music and honked their horns.
