In the chaos of the 2016 election, Chris Cox forged a political machine out of an unlikely demographic — one that helped Trump reach the White House and is determined to keep him there.
The Bikers have coordinated at least informally with the Republican National Committee since before Trump’s nomination, and they say they have accumulated the thanks of half a dozen Republican senators and governors, for whom the Bikers’ zealous support was a key factor in close races. But the group’s loyalty ultimately flows to the president, the man who drew most of its members into politics in the first place — and in response, Trump has shown them an apparently deep and genuine personal gratitude. “No matter where I go, there’s bikers,” Trump once noted with wonder in his voice. “And I’d ask my people: What are they all doing here? And they’d say, ‘They’re here to protect you, Mr. Trump’ ...

Don't you like Bikers?
Fair enough, but I've actually met Bikers who really do support Trump.

I am / was a biker who in his youth rode with a club that had aspirations of being an MC , local H.A convinced us that wasn't going to happen.
I have the utmost respect for bikers and think that generally they are among the finest people you can meet but I cringe when stories of them boot licking the establishment surface

But when Cox talks about “bikers,” he’s generally referring to a class of mostly white, middle-class, and older riders who frequent biker bars, show up at rallies in Sturgis, South Dakota, or Laconia, New Hampshire, or on the Rolling Thunder ride into DC. Cox’s idea of riders like to think of themselves as flag-waving, good-timing, hardworking people who respect authority when it’s warranted, but who take no bull# and get rowdy if someone crosses the line.

I'm sure there are many bikers who support Trump because he's a maverick but as a billionaire property developer who bought a Presidency he is very much the establishment , he isn't one of us.
The Presidency isn't for sale.

If I recall correctly, Hillary had A LOT more money. A veritable sh!tpot full. Why didn't she just make a higher offer? Oh yeah, because your claim is crap.
