President Donald Trump became very emotional during a rally on Thursday in Freeland Michigan as his speech was interrupted by supporters who chanted, “We love you,” while the president was at the podium.
Trump who is well known for rarely showing emotions could be seen taking a step back from the rostrum while he seems to collect himself. He tried to make light of the moment and pretended to wipe away tears over the crowd’s gesture.

“Don’t say that,” he said. “I’ll start to cry and that wouldn’t be good for my image. We don’t…you don’t want to see me cry,” the president said to the crowd while reciting that the same chant broke out during a recent stop in North Carolina.
