Rolling Asunder: Bitterly Divided Pro-Trump Bikers Split 3 Ways Over Inauguration Plans

Three bikers who support President-elect Donald Trump but dislike each other are organizing separate inauguration rallies, confusing would-be participants and causing turmoil within one of Trump's most enthusiastic and visible bases of support.

The three have not joined forces for a large ride into the nation's capital or a unified rally as robust counterweights to anti-Trump activists because of clashing personalities.

In conversations with U.S. News, the three men traded various personal attacks, ranging from claims of alcohol abuse, financial mismanagement, disrespect and fame-hogging to allegedly not owning a bike or riding one very often.

"As if the three organizing efforts weren't confusing enough, a fourth group calling itself Bikers 4 Trump claims it will have a presence at the inauguration. That group's credibility is dubious and a request for comment was not returned. The group is selling bricks for Trump's proposed wall along the Mexican border for $59.95 on its website."

Thanks for the chuckles, notdeplorable!
