Recent clashes between trump supporters and protesters led to a significant law enforcement presence outside the Sunset Cove Amphitheater and a few tense moments.

"He's not endorsed by anybody. He's supporting his own campaign. I've really not been involved in politics before, but I really believe in him and if he's out there running a great business. He's doing it for himself. He can do it for our country," said Trump supporter Amanda Fletcher.
Phones, not fists were being used as potential weapons. Each side was recording the other -- perhaps waiting for someone to make a move.

Before the rally started, Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputies had moved the protesters away from the entrance. A few protesters were escorted out of the amphitheater.
“What we're trying to do today is spread love. We've noticed at every Trump rally the end goal has been to galvanize his people in a hateful manner, in an angry matter," said Jerome Cosme of Black Lives Matter.
Meanwhile, a handful of vendors were doing brisk business selling t-shirts, hats and buttons in support of trump.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said Monday there were no arrests at the event. A PBSO spokesperson said four people were asked to leave the rally, but no major issues were reported.

Sun-Sentinel reporter Michael Mayo posted that he was kicked out of the Trump rally for filming and tweeting.
Mayo said he was given the choice of arrest and jail or leaving by the sheriff's office and a Trump staffer, so he decided to leave.
