“People were being ushered into a deeply religious experience,” Tooley wrote, “and it made me completely uncomfortable.

I felt like people were here to worship an ideology along with the man who was leading it… It was a religious zeal

“I love my country; I honor those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom and I respect our history and what we stand for, but what I experienced in that moment sent shivers down my spine. I felt like people were here to worship an ideology along with the man who was leading it. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t the song per se — it was this inexplicable movement that was happening in the room. It was a religious zeal.”

Tooley could not immediately be reached, and the White House did not immediately respond to a request for a comment.

On Saturday, Tooley said, he talked his daughter into going with him to the rally in Melbourne, near Orlando.

“After all, how many times do you get to see the President of the United States in person — let alone in your hometown?” Tooley wrote. “I was eager for her to have this experience. It has to be a pretty cool thing, as a kid to see Air Force One, the President and the First Lady.”

Once the duo made it through the lengthy line, he said, they were handed pom-poms and signs reading, “Make America Great Again!”

They were then ushered into a massive crowd at Orlando Melbourne International Airport.

The music, he said, moved from patriotic to pep rally — “more Star Wars themed.” Then Air Force One rolled up to the airplane hangar.

“As they entered the venue and walked to the platform, there was terrific celebration,” Tooley wrote. “I have been in the room when other Presidents were in a similar mode — it is always such a meaningful experience to be that close to them, regardless of whether or not you view them with adoration. Theeeee President of the USA!”
