HENRICO COUNTY, Va. -- Supporters of President Donald Trump met at Mission BBQ in Henrico County Saturday afternoon before setting off on a "Trump Train" parade through Richmond.

The colorful display featured pickups and cars decked with flags and other signs of support for the president.

The event was organized by Mike Dickenson, who is running for city council in Richmond's 1st District.
