Presidential campaigns are always looking to create moments that cut through the clutter and allow their candidate to stand out.
The Trump campaign struck paydirt.
And Donald Trump showed up at a Chick-fil-A and created one scene that will scare Joe Biden.
Donald Trump visits a Chick-fil-A and receives a hero’s welcome
Joe Biden got some bad news about his ability to hold on to the swing state of Georgia this November.
Trump was in Georgia for a fundraiser and popped into an Atlanta-area Chick-fil-A.
The Chick-fil-A was located in a precinct that is 91 percent black and where Joe Biden got 92 percent of the vote.

Yet the mostly black crowd of customers and employees mobbed Trump and shouted words of encouragement at him.
“Blue collar — you’re the guy for us,” one customer shouted at Trump.
Others posed for selfies with Trump.

Trump then bought 30 milkshakes and picked up the tab for the customers.
“Can I have 30 milkshakes and also some chicken? We’re going to take care of the customers,” Trump told one of the cashiers.
Trump praises Chick-fil-A
Chick-fil-A has faced boycotts and attempted bans by Democrat state legislatures over the last 12 years when CEO Dan Cathy opposed homosexual marriage.
One of Chick-fil-A’s rivals – the New York based burger joint Shake Shack – is now running a public relations campaign to steal Chick-fil-A’s customers by mocking the restaurant for closing on Sundays in observative on the Sabbath.
Trump had nothing but good words for Chick-fil-A and its owner
“It’s a great franchise. The owner is a great man who is a member of one of my clubs,” Trump declared.
“It’s the Lord’s chicken, you’re right. It’s good chicken too,” Trump said in response to another customer.
This trip highlighted one of the emerging storylines in this election, which is Donald Trump making inroads with black and Hispanic voters as the Party realigns along education as opposed to race.
A New York Times/Siena poll found Donald Trump winning the support of 23 percent of black voters.
Democrats and the media tried to handwave the results away as just one poll.
But poll after poll shows diminished black support for Joe Biden thanks to inflation and the wide-open southern border.
The reaction Trump got on the ground in a 90 percent black precinct provided real-world evidence that the polls may correctly be picking up on a trend.
