As the Republican convention in Cleveland approaches, several delegates who support Donald Trump say they are planning on bringing their guns with them to the GOP gathering.

Why? They say they are worried about protest and an attack from ISIS.

James Klein, a Trump delegate, has decided to come armed to Cleveland, and he has urged his fellow delegates to do the same. "We're talking about ISIS," he remarks, citing the recent shooting in Orlando and the bombings at the Istanbul airport. Referring to protesters outside Trump rallies, he adds, "We're talking about people who have shown a propensity for violence."

"There are a whole bunch of things happening: You go to various events, receptions, whatever," says Ash Khare, a delegate from the who applied for a concealed carry permit in preparation for Cleveland. "And you know, people know that you are a delegate, and who knows what the crazy people are going to do? So you've got to be vigilant about what's going on and prepare yourself."

Marc Scaringi, another Trump delegate, says that during the past few weeks there have been many emails exchanged among delegates discussing whether to bring weapons to Cleveland.

A lifelong member of the NRA who carries a gun every day, Klein notes he is particularly concerned about the threat of international terrorism. "I'm not a terrorist, okay, but I would think that if I were an ISIS guy that I might want to attack the Republican National Convention," he says.

Klein continues: "People will attack you at your weakest, at your softest." That is, he explains, where police and Secret Service officers are unlikely to stop an attack.

Khare expects to receive his concealed carry permit in a few days. Then he plans to buy a gun. But he stresses that having a weapon is not about stirring up trouble: "This is just in case you get into a situation where you can make a difference."

Scaringi also points to the violence that occurred at a Trump event in San Jose, California, in early June. Anti-Trump protesters punched the candidate's supporters, jumped on cars, and threw eggs at a female Trump supporter. "I think this is going to be the most riotous political convention since 1968, and maybe even more so," he predicts. "In addition to just your average political protester, you're going to get serious people here who want to do harm and want to create mayhem."

The neo-Nazis who organized the pro-Donald Trump rally in Sacramento, California have a new destination: The Republican National Convention in Cleveland.

“We’re essentially just going to show up and make sure that the Donald Trump supporters are defended from the leftist thugs,” said Matt Parrott, spokesman for the white-nationalist Traditionalist Worker Party.

The Traditionalist Worker Party is yet another white-nationalist group of “race realists” that has wormed its way into relevance through the ascendancy of Trumpism.

The party—which fights for a lily-white America “free from economic exploitation, federal tyranny, and anti-Christian degeneracy”—is led by its chairman Matthew Heimbach.

Cleveland police did not respond requests for comment. But when asked about the possibility of a pro-Trump, neo-Nazi contingent committed to defending fellow Trump supporters, a GOP convention official would only say that their “law enforcement partners are aware of those who will be in Cleveland."

Trump plans celebrity convention​

Trump’s team promises an extraordinary display of political entertainment at this month’s Republican National Convention, with the accent on entertainment.

The former reality television star plans to feature his high-profile children at the summer gathering in Cleveland, with the hope they’ll be joined by a number of celebrity supporters. Prospects include former Indiana basketball coach Bobby Knight, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and longtime boxing promoter Don King.

“I’m going to be involved, definitely,” said King, who lives in Cleveland and is a passionate supporter of the presumptive Republican nominee. “He’s my man. I love him. He’s going to be the next president.”

“This is not going to be your typical party convention like years past,” said Trump spokesman Jason Miller. “Donald Trump is better suited than just about any candidate in memory to put together a program that’s outside of Washington and can appeal directly to the American people.”

Newt Gingrich praised Trump’s plan to use his celebrity connections. “Trump understands that if he can appeal to consumer America, he drowns political America.”

“My children are all going to be speaking: Ivanka, Tiffany, Don, Eric. They’re going to be speaking,” Trump said. “My wife is going to be speaking at the convention. We’re going to have a great time.”

Trump’s campaign has also been in touch with aides to Ted Cruz, who has been trying to win a speaking slot. Others under consideration include former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton and Gingrich.
