The president of the United States, Donald Trump, fulfilled what he had advanced on Friday on Twitter and appeared this Saturday at the "Million March" held in Washington, amid the cries of support from his followers, who add to the denunciations of the Republican mogul on alleged fraud in the November 3 election, in which Joe Biden won.
The president arrived in the official car, which slowly traveled the area while greeting his supporters who organized the MAGA march ("Make America Great Again", Let's make America great again, his campaign slogan in 2016 and also now).
Attendees responded with shouts of "America, America!"
and many ran after the presidential limousine to try to get a picture.
Many of them waved "Trump 2020" flags and some carried banners that read "Best President Ever" or "Stop Theft."

On Friday, Trump had hinted that he could "come and say hello" to the march organized by his followers.
"It is exciting to see the great support that there is, in particular in the organic demonstrations that arise throughout the country, including the great demonstration on Saturday in DC," he said.
Among the organizers of the march are "Stop the Robbery" and
far-right groups such
as Proud Boys (Proud Boys) and Oath Keepers (The Guardians of the Oath).
Trump has not acknowledged his defeat in the Nov. 3 election even though the counts in key states have leaned toward his rival, Democrat Joe Biden.
So far the appeals filed by Trump's team for recount have been dismissed by the courts.

Irreversible result
The results of all the states have already been announced by the big television networks of the country.
Biden got 306 electoral votes, against 232 for the outgoing president: just the same numbers, but in reverse, as in the victory of the Republican magnate, described by him then as a "tidal wave", against Hillary Clinton in 2016. To be elected president of the United States, 270 votes are needed in the Electoral College.
Although
a recount of the votes has
yet to
be carried out in Georgia
, where the difference is very weak between the two candidates, the result will not change the final outcome at all: Joe Biden has, whatever happens in Georgia, the 270 large voters needed to open the doors of the White House.
In turn, the former vice president of Barack Obama, who will turn 78 next week, went out on Saturday for a bike ride near his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
Trump, for his part, continues to spread
confusion over his intentions.
This Friday he seemed about to acknowledge the victory of his rival, but fell back in extremis.
"Hopefully, what happens in the future, who knows what government it will be, I guess time will tell," he said.
Several federal agencies have frontally contested the accusations of irregularities made by the president.
"The election on November 3 was the safest in the history of the United States," several local and national electoral authorities, including the cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency (CISA), which depends on of the Ministry of Internal Security.
"There is no evidence that a voting system has been erased, lost or changed ballots, or that it has been hacked in any way."
