At a rally in Georgia Wednesday, President Trump singled out a group of his supporters who consistently attend his speeches and sit in the front row, known as the âFront Row Joes.â âI donât know what the hell they do, I think they make a lot of money, too. Iâm hearing theyâre very rich,â Trump said. I was a Front Row Joe and this really bothers me.Trump calls out the Front Row Joe' today at a rally in GA, which he should, they are incredibly loyal and are deserving of much more than they have been given by Trump.While I disagree with the Front Row Joe's on Trump's⌠pic.twitter.com/LfkevNO4zhâ Trisha Hope - National Delegate-TX (@JustTheTweets17) July 22, 2026The reality for these supporters is quite different, though, as Trisha Hope, a former Trump supporter and Front Row Joe, explained in a long X post. âTrump WRONGLY says to them âyouâve made a lot of money, youâre rich,ââ Hope said. âThis shows me how absolutely clueless he is on what these folks have sacrificed in order to support him. They DO NOT MAKE MONEY!! In fact it costs them a GREAT deal of money and time to attend.âHope, who said she left the group last year over Trumpâs comments about Jeffrey Epstein, added that the Front Roe Joes are âincredibly loyal and are deserving of much more than they have been given by Trump.ââThey drive sometimes all night to get in line [at rallies], they spend money on flights when driving isnât an option,â Hopeâs post continued. âThey sleep outside the venue sometimes for days often sleeping on pop up cots or just a pallet on the ground. They rely on whatever facilities they can find to relieve themselves.âHope pointed out that the founder of the Joes, a Marine veteran named Randall Thom, was killed in a car accident driving home from a Trump rally on October 18, 2020, and ânever got any recognition from the Trump crew, he had hoped to get a job with the rally team but he could never get them to commit to him.ââI just couldnât remain silent when I heard Trump talk as if the Front Row Joeâs are profiting from their rally attendance, it is the exact opposite,â Hope concluded.All of this makes Trumpâs comments on how wealthy the group must be seem incredibly callous and clueless. While he praised the Joes, who came decked out in matching red, white, and blue Trump sports jerseys, he doesnât seem to know much about them, or care to know.
