Students for Trump

Ryan started Students for Trump in early October 2015 as a Twitter account. His intentions were to get more millennials informed and involved with the 2016 elections. Within a few months of launching this independent movement, he gained over 20,000 followers on Twitter.[1] His organization is also credited for being one of the plotters behind "The Chalkening", an effort to raise support for Donald J. Trump on college campuses all across the United States.[1][2][3][3][4]

Fournier has appeared on Varney & Co., The Blaze & Fox News.[5]

Controversy

On an interview with Stuart Varney, Fournier called for the resignation of College Republicans leaders that are not actively working to get Donald J. Trump elected as President of the United States during the 2016 presidential elections.[5] Fournier also wrote an article for Red Alert Politics condemning the actions of multiple College Republicans chapters failing to endorse Donald Trump during the 2016 Presidential Election.[6]
