A rally on Long Island caught the eye of the President Donald Trump.
He tweeted Sunday morning, "Have a GREAT 'MAGA-GRAS' Rally today on our wonderful Long Island."
The president appeared to be referring to the Freedom Rally, which kicked off Sunday morning at the Walt Whitman mall and continued with a caravan to Eisenhower Park.
Traffic was backed up for miles along Hempstead Turnpike as supporters made their way to the park.
"A lot of it - it's the silent majority," says participant Timothy Mooney, of East Meadow. "This is what it is, you know, people that believe the country is going in the wrong direction and they have certain values of community and family values and this is it."
The entrance to Eisenhower Park was closed before 2 p.m., but that didn't stop massive amounts of people from driving past it to show their support.
