As the song gained momentum, so did they. It was finally Trump time. The man himself came “risin’ up” from behind the […]
Over the past couple of weeks, Tulsa has seen some beautiful highs and some hate-filled, crushing lows. For some reason, we hosted Donald Trump and 15,000 people turned out to see him.
