Former President Donald Trump made headlines once again on Monday when he visited the Truong Tien Vietnamese Restaurant in Falls Church, Virginia. His appearance was met with raucous cheers and applause from the restaurant’s patrons, who were thrilled to see him walk through the doors. And it’s no surprise why – Trump has continued to foster strong support among the Vietnamese community, with many considering him a champion for their fight for freedom.
As he entered the restaurant, Trump was joined by Virginia U.S. Senate candidate Hung Cao, a Naval Academy graduate and combat veteran. The two had earlier visited Arlington National Cemetery, where they paid their respects to the 13 service members killed in the tragic Kabul attack. Cao, who is running to replace incumbent Democrat Sen. Tim Kaine, has been a vocal supporter of Trump and his policies.
The moment Trump stepped into the Truong Tien Vietnamese Restaurant, the room erupted in cheers and applause. The former president was visibly moved by the warm welcome, stating, “Somehow, I don’t know what it is – you’ll have to explain it – the Vietnamese community loves me, and I love them.” This sentiment was met with even louder cheers and a chant of “USA! USA! USA!” from the excited patrons.
Trump went on to share his previous experiences with the Vietnamese community, particularly in Florida where he witnessed their unwavering support. “In Florida, we go down and we have large groups of people, always dressed perfectly, with the red and the silver. I say, ‘You’re the most beautiful dressers I’ve ever seen,’” he recalled. The former president also expressed his admiration for Cao’s name, calling it “amazing” and saying that it “should get you elected.”
But Trump didn’t just stop there – he confidently predicted that both he and Cao could win Virginia, a state that has typically leaned towards the Democratic party. “We’re looking to win the state, which is not necessarily good for Republicans, but I’m not an average Republican, and neither are you,” he said, addressing Cao.
The senate candidate reciprocated the former president’s confidence, stating that the people of Virginia will elect him as their first Vietnamese U.S. senator. His words were met with cheers and applause from the crowd, further solidifying the strong support for Trump and his allies.
As Trump made his way through the restaurant, signing autographs and engaging with patrons, he was met with overwhelming support and expressions of gratitude. One patron declared, “We will fight for you, sir,” while another exclaimed, “We need you for the next four years.”

Before leaving, Trump took a moment to engage with the Vietnamese community and their love for their native country. “Do you still love Vietnam?” he asked. The replies were unanimous – they love their country but not the communist regime currently in power.

It’s clear that Trump continues to have a strong support base within the Vietnamese community. And it’s not hard to see why – his unwavering stance for freedom and his commitment to fighting against communist regimes has not gone unnoticed by this community. As Hung Cao stated at the Republican National Convention, “We [will] vote for love: love of God, love of family, and love for the greatest nation on earth.” And it’s this love that continues to fuel the support for Trump and his allies among the Vietnamese community.
