For all the rantings by liberal students about social justice, safe spaces, and First Amendment rights on college campuses, a large group of organized students are using some free speech of their own — and they don’t have time for micro-aggressions or for playing the victim card.

Students for Trump is their name, and supporting the Republican front-runner and billionaire businessman all the way to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is their game. They are student campaigners networking across the country to support the candidate they believe in, working hard as they juggle classes and extra-curricular activities with a serious pro-Trump activism.

“We’ve got 5,000 volunteers and over 200 chapters,” Ryan Fournier, national director for Students for Trump, told LifeZette. “We have leadership in 40 states, and we’re growing fast.” Fournier is a freshman at Campbell University in Buies Creek, North Carolina.

Fournier met Donald Trump during this campaign cycle for a quick five-minute sit-down.

Trump is “single-handedly bringing back freedom of speech,” said one student.

“Mr. Trump was very nice, and said to us, ‘Wow, you all have got a lot of energy,'” Fournier said. “One of our group said back, ‘Yep, not like Jeb, Mr. Trump.'”

(Trump famously labeled Jeb Bush a “low energy” candidate.)

“He laughed,” said Fournier about Trump’s response.

Fournier said the group is not officially with the Trump campaign and is not receiving any funding from it, but that the campaign is aware of the students’ efforts.

Another student on the opposite coast likes not only what Trump will bring to America, but also what he has already returned to the nation.

“Mr. Trump — he’s single-handedly bringing back freedom of speech,” Jake Lopez, a Westmont College student and California director of Students for Trump, told the Los Angeles Times.

Lopez’s dorm room is a beehive of activity as he coordinates thousands of students on getting fliers distributed, social media messages posted, and phone calls made in support of the person they see as America’s best hope for the future.

“‘Trumplicans,'” Lopez told the Times. “I think it’ll take off.”

College students backing Trump seem to have done so in part because their views are not tolerated in the current liberal campus environment. Now they have both a candidate and a cause.

“Today, there is a movement to silence differing views,” Lopez told the Los Angeles Times. “That’s not what America is all about.”

Fournier began Students for Trump using social media and Twitter, specifically. At first a supporter of Rand Paul, Fournier was drawn to Trump through the candidate’s border control policies, concern over national unemployment numbers, and his blunt, “every man” way of speaking.

The group is making waves.

“We are behind ‘The Chalkening,’” said Fournier. “Using Old Row, which is essentially fraternity-based social media, we coordinated behind this moment. We said, ‘Go find an area on campus and chalk it up with pro-Trump art!’ Free speech on campus was the idea, and it worked — it was very successful.”

Fournier has his own thoughts on why there is no tolerance by liberal students for an open discourse on politics.

“Many on campus are not open to change or ideas, and frankly maybe that’s because Barack Obama wasn’t what they were expecting,” he said, referring to the “hope and change” candidate whose soaring rhetoric helped him capture the presidency. “Throughout the history of the world, so many different political styles and leadership styles have been introduced, and some of them work, some don’t. But in America, we have democracy.”

Students for Trump feel that the leading GOP candidate’s personality is what America needs at this moment in history.

“We can’t have somebody that’s going to be run over, somebody that’s just going to take everything,” he said of Trump’s blunt style. “You have to have a bit of an ego to be president, I believe. College students — some of them grew up with the Republican Establishment. That classical Ryan, Romney style, that’s what they’re looking for. I can certainly understand that.”

“You have to have a bit of an ego to be president.”

Fournier said this year is critical for the party as a whole.

“If the Republican Party is not willing to unite behind Trump, I fear it will be the end of the Republican Party on a national level,” he said. “It will turn into a local-level party.”

Trump in the general election? Students for Trump feel their candidate has to spotlight the obvious.

“It doesn’t look like Hillary is going to be indicted,” Fournier said of Hillary Clinton. Then he put a fine point on Trump’s task in defeating Clinton, assuming he is the GOP candidate.

“She has a nice resume,” he said of the former secretary of state. “But what has she really done?”
