Donald Trump tweeted his support for the group on Tuesday.

Donald Trump on Tuesday tweeted that Bikers for Trump — a group of bikers who supported him during his campaign — were “on their way” to the Jan. 20 inauguration in Washington DC.

Chris Cox, the founder of the group, told Fox & Friends that more than 5,000 bikers are expected to attend the inauguration and would form a “wall of meat” against anti-Trump protesters.

Cox said that he requested a permit from the National Parks Service for 5,000 bikers to gather at John Marshall Park on Jan. 20, Inauguration Day. The request was approved but the permit was still being processed and had not yet been issued, Mike Litterst, the spokesperson for the National Park Service, told BuzzFeed News on Tuesday.

“We process requests in the order in which they were received, first come first serve,” Litterst said, adding that permits were approved for both pro-Trump and anti-Trump demonstrators.

Cox's listed purpose for the permit was “to celebrate president elect, and encourage peaceful transition,” according to the list of permit applications for the inauguration provided to BuzzFeed News.

So far, only one permit for an explicitly pro-Trump group — Let America Hear Us, Roar for Trump! — has been issued for 20 people. Another pro-Trump permit requested by Travis Thompson Biker for 5,000 people to support Trump on Jan. 20 is currently being processed.

A permit for the most number of demonstrators so far — 50,000— was issued for the American Constitution Society, a progressive organization.

“We have guys coming in right now driving across Texas, Arizona…guys left San Diego two days ago, large groups coming in from Florida…Pennsylvania has busloads coming in…Ohio, New York, you name it we got bikers coming in to town,” Cox told Fox & Friends on Saturday.

However, several pro-Trump accounts on social media are using pictures and videos that falsely claim to show large groups of bikers on their way to the inauguration in Washington.
