ABC News Profiles Miami, Texas: America’s “Most Pro-Trump Town”

Austin Lamar Allison

ABC News recently profiledthe Texas town of Miami, calling the small West Texas hamlet “the most pro-Trump town in America.” Miami, a ranching community of 600 near Pampa, went all in for the New York billionaire during the 2016 presidential election.

Out of 550 who voted in the town, 524 went for Trump.

Steve Porter, a retired local school teacher, explained his vote to ABC News: “I realized that we needed a president who believed America was great. Greater than all other countries.” He called Trump “a great powerful person for the American people first. First in immigration, first in jobs, first in everything.” Porter said he trained his dog to bark when the animal heard the name “Hillary.”

Meanwhile, local rancher Mitchell Locke took a different—and uncommon—view in Miami, calling the President a “buffoon.” Yet, Locke said he still voted for Trump, for tax reasons.
