President Trump appeared to be in high spirits as a crowd of supporters swarmed him at the diner, taking pictures and chanting “U-S-A!”
According to a video from the editor-in-chief of the National Pulse, Raheem Kassam, excited patrons shouted, “I Love you, Donald” as they gathered around the president, who then offered them offered them a warm and tasty breakfast, free of charge.
“How are the Waffles here? How are the waffles? Are they good?” Trump asked the crowd of stunned onlookers. “Cause I got to try one!”
An individual in the crowd shouted, “You need to get pecans on it, Mr President!”

As President Trump made his way further inside the restaurant alongside his secret service detail, another excited supporter within the crowd yelled out, “I love you, Donald,” which was a phrase met with cheers and applause from other guests mesmerized by Trump’s appearance.
The owner of Ruth Ann’s restaurant, just down the street, made her way into Waffle House and presented the former President with a special gift, which was a homemade meatloaf made using the recipe of Trump’s late mother, Mary Anne.
“Mr. Trump! We made your mother’s meatloaf for you,” the woman shouted from the crowd.
“Can you take it on the plane?” she asked, according to a video uploaded to Twitter from journalist Raheem Kassam.

MY President, the TRUE President that got the most votes and EVERYONE knows it. Watching him interact with these folks brought a tear to my eye, he sincerely loves America and it’s people.
Sure do miss him! Best President ever!
Greatest of all time.
