COLUMBUS, Georgia – Former President Donald J. Trump made a surprise visit to a Waffle House in Georgia on Saturday afternoon, stunning onlookers and drawing a crowd while he declared, “Waffles on Trump!”
Trump, who had just left the stage after delivering a speech to a capacity crowd at the Columbus Convention and Trade Center, told the owner that he was buying waffles for everyone on the premises, before chatting with patrons and singing photographs.
“I love you Donald!” yelled one lady from the back, before another group approached Trump with a package, claiming they had made his mother’s famous meat loaf recipe at their restaurant – Ruth Anns’ – down the street, hoping to bump into him to deliver it.

Crowds lined the streets in Columbus as Trump’s motorcade whisked him through, en route to his next stop in Greensboro, North Carolina.
The 45th President used his address at the Georgia GOP convention to blast his most recent indictment, as well as take aim at Joe Biden, Ron “DeSanctimonious”, and the Chinese Communist Party.
