Police action in the city was unprecedented for such cases when it was not the FBI’s wanted repeat offender who appeared, but the politician: In the streets along which Trump’s motorcade moved, the sewers were Pre-welded, armed NYPD snipers were seen on the rooftops of several buildings, and police helicopters circled overhead as Trump arrived. Officers also used binoculars to observe the crowd from the balcony of the Manhattan courthouse. A police detective at the scene, when asked by the New York Post about one of the snipers, said, “Of course he’s armed. He’s not there with a water gun.”
Screaming protesters clashed with police and media outside a Manhattan courthouse on Tuesday ahead of the former president’s indictment. Already during the hearing near his building, a scuffle had broken out between his opponents and his supporters who tried to tear down er “Trump is a liar”. NYPD officers pushed anti-Trump protesters out of the area where his supporters had gathered, sending them back to their designated side of Collect Pond Park as soon as they heard the first insults.
A speech by Trump supporter and MAGA (Make America Great Again) representative Marjorie Taylor Green was drowned out by boos and boos. “We are a party of men and women! Greene countered Biden’s statement about “the soul of America” in the form of trans people and other minorities in his brief speech. “We are the Secure Borders Party! she added.
Anti-Trump protesters shouted, “Go back to Washington! », « Get out of my town! », « New York hates you! “, etc. chaos” by Soros, tried to rip off the legislator’s baseball cap. Green quickly returned to her white SUV, saying New York was “too hectic” and “swarm-like” to stay there.
Maurice Simonette, founder of the Blacks for Trump movement, told the newspaper that she came to the protest on Tuesday to “defend Trump from lying bastards like Alvin Bragg and Letitia James.” She meant Trump’s African-American accusers, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, whose campaign for prosecutors was funded by Soros, and New York State Attorney General Letitia James, who has his own longstanding allegations against the former president. “The action is already helping Trump and he will never be shown on TV again. He’s a folk hero,” Simonette said.
Pauline Braccio, 66, came from Lansdale, Pennsylvania, to support Trump, who she says “is still its president.” “Stormy Daniels has changed his story so many times,” Braccio said of the porn star who was at the center of the case. “If Trump paid her to shut up, it’s not a crime,” the woman continued, referring to the $130,000 silence payment made by Daniels in the weeks leading up to the presidential election in 2016. “Silence money is not a crime. He just wanted her to stop spreading lies about sleeping with him. He’s married to Melania, for god’s sake why would he sleep with that bitch?” said a Trump supporter.
In the evening, after dark, new actions by supporters and opponents of Donald Trump are expected in New York.
