Unhyphenated American Lloyd Marcus is gone—but the Trump Train He Created Rides On

No words could ever convey the sorrow here at Canada Free Press upon hearing the news that our courageous columnist, “unhyphenated-American” Lloyd Marcus has passed.

An early morning email from our mutual friend Valerie Price alerted me this morning, and I haven’t been able to shake my worries about his beloved wife, Mary, who adored him, all this day.

Lloyd and Mary kept their love alive from decades-ago days when they were high school sweethearts.

Lloyd died, aged 71, one day after his 44th Wedding Anniversary.

The shock of Lloyd’s death of a heart attack on Friday was all the more unnerving because it was only on Thursday, he sent us his last column, ‘Last Stand to Save America as Founded’:

“Seriously folks, we must do everything in our power to reelect our remarkable president. This election is our last stand to save America as founded. America is counting on you.”

A talented singer and songwriter, Lloyd’s latest popular music production was the ‘Trump Train 2020’ music video.

In his Thursday column he urged readers, “Please spread the Trump Train 2020 music video far and wide to counter Neil Young’s song, “We Got to Vote Him Out!”

A down-to-earth, unassuming Tea Party legend, Lloyd and Mary, gave up a peaceful home life, appearing at countless rallies and gatherings across the country.

Like all conservatives putting America first, he sometimes ran into resistance, and found it hard to understand how so many people are buying into media propaganda.

“For example: My sister is one such low-info Christian voter. I recruited her awesome alto voice to sing in the choir at the recording session of my Trump Train 2020 song. The choir was mostly white, all Trump supporters. She noticed that they were good friendly everyday people, not the rabid racists portrayed by media. Her eyes popped out of her head in disbelief when I told her San Francisco gives tourists maps to avoid the piles of human feces on the streets left by vagrants. She had no idea that Trump was responsible for black unemployment being its lowest in U.S. history. 

“In the Trump Train 2020 music video, she is the beautiful black woman singing the solo line, “Don’t you feel the engines roar!” 

“Folks, in these final months leading up to the November election, the Democrat/communist party will launch every wicked scheme in their depraved playbook to attack the American people to stop them from reelecting one of the greatest presidents in U.S. history, Donald J. Trump. 

“Black Lives Matter, ANTIFA and various other anti-christian and anti-American hate groups do not want “brotherhood” as desired by Dr King. They want to punish white America. They demand that whites physically kneel to blacks and beg forgiveness for their sin of being born white. The people in these groups are wicked and must not be tolerated. At the top of your lungs, scream the word, “No!” to them. 

“I’ve awakened 2am in the morning, turned on my TV and have encountered lie-filled news stories trashing Trump. The hits on Trump just keep on comin’. 

“This is what we are up against, folks. "A large percentage of the country get their news from mainstream (fake news) media. Consequently, they are clueless regarding many important issues."

In many of his columns, Lloyd wrote about his much beloved Father, the late Rev. Lloyd E. Marcus, the first man who broke the color barrier in the Baltimore Fire Department.

He wrote on Thursday, “I am the eldest of 4 boys and one girl. My sister was Dad’s princess. He purchased her first car, a brand new Fiat. He made me work to purchase my first “used” car. The good news is Fiats were lemons; just kidding.

“Seriously folks, we must do everything in our power to reelect our remarkable president. This election is our last stand to save America as founded. America is counting on you.

“We have so much work to do. This is all hands on deck. This election is our last stand to save our founding father’s divinely-inspired vision of America.

“Please talk to your neighbors, family and friends encouraging them to vote for Trump. Let them know what is at strike. that they were good friendly everyday people, not the rabid racists portrayed by media."

‘The Man in the Black Hat’ served his country well, calling out for its protection even on his last day among us.

Canadian Valerie Price, his biggest fan north of the border and I will dry our tears and pray for the Creator to comfort Mary in her heartbreak and grief.

But the thousands of those whose lives Lloyd Marcus touched will go on riding the Trump Train as if he were still here—because to all who knew and love him, he IS.
