Trump Calls for Less Courthouse Security, More MAGA Protests

[Social Media]

 

While the courthouse itself is heavily guarded, Trump has raised concerns about the lack of MAGA (Make America Great Again) protests in the surrounding area. His suggestion to ease security around the trial to facilitate pro-Trump demonstrations outside the courthouse has sparked controversy.

 

Trump's remarks come at a time when tensions are already high due to ongoing protests at Columbia University related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Trump drew parallels between the security measures at the courthouse and the shutdown of Columbia University amid student demonstrations. He questioned why police resources were not being redirected to protect Jewish students and others at Columbia, implying a double standard in policing protests.

 

The former president's characterization of the Columbia protests as "Hamas Protests" and his claims of unfair treatment towards Republicans wanting to protest outside the courthouse have added fuel to the fire. Trump's portrayal of the courthouse area as an "armed camp" contrasts sharply with his depiction of the Columbia University protests as a situation where protesters were allowed to run rampant.

 

 

However, Trump's call for less courthouse security must be viewed in context. Recent events, such as a tragic incident where a man self-immolated outside the courthouse, highlight the need for stringent security measures to ensure the safety of all involved. The death of Maxwell Azzarello, while not directly linked to Trump, underscores the potential risks associated with large gatherings near the courthouse.

 

While Trump's supporters did assemble outside the courtroom during the trial's initial days, the lack of a significant presence raises questions about the efficacy of MAGA protests in mobilizing supporters. Despite Trump's calls for action, the reality on the ground suggests a more subdued response from his base.

 

In conclusion, Trump's call for a shift in courthouse security measures has reignited debates surrounding the right to protest, law enforcement's role in maintaining public order, and the broader political landscape. As the trial unfolds, the dynamics between protesters, law enforcement, and the judiciary will continue to evolve, shaping the narrative around Trump's legal battles and the future of MAGA activism.

Yeah and also the trial is expected to last for months. If it was a one day thing they would have showed. Poor poor pitiful Don.

As usual, trump left the courthouse Tuesday and began lying about security and crowd size, just as he lied about his Inauguration crowd size. There seems to be something about trump and 'size' which makes him prone to wild exaggeration and cover up of reality. Maybe Stormy will clear that up.

 

Per the Independent (and many other media outlets) this is what trump posted on his Truth (sic) Social:

 

“Thousands of people were turned away from the Courthouse in Lower Manhattan by steel stanchions and police, literally blocks from the tiny side door from where I enter and leave,” Mr Trump wrote on Truth Social on Tuesday. “It is an armed camp to keep people away.”

 

There is zero truth to trump's Tweet, or whatever his lies are called on his TS platform.

 

According to journalists covering the trial, anybody can walk right past the courthouse steps. There is security present, but plenty of access to the area. It isn't even one block, much less "literally blocks" as trump lied.

 

Perhaps---and I'm just speculating here---that after sending their kids school lunch money to one of trump's PACs, buying some trump NFTs and Golden Sneakers and an autographed Bible, his cult doesn't have enough for bus fare to get to NYC. trump is going to have to choose: either his goobers come and show support, or they continue to send money to his PACs to pay his legal bills.

Perhaps the Defendant thinks he’s not getting enough of attention he deserves.

[bendejo]

It's sounds like he's going to hire people to protest.  He's hired supporters before, like on the Day of the Escalator in 2015.

There is absolutely nothing likeable about trump. He was born with a silver golden spoon in his mouth, lied and cheated his way through life, and was never---until now---held accountable for his criminal and immoral behavior. He is a moron but can fool the naive into thinking he's smart; he's a bad businessman, but can fool the low IQ crowd into thinking he is "self-made". He knows nothing about the founding principles of the US, nor the sacrifice many have made in service to the nation, yet if he molests a flag at a CPAC shindig, his goobers think he's a patriot. He calls those who served and died "suckers and losers". He mocks the disabled. He's a racist and misogynist. He claims to be a person of faith, but is the Poster Child for engaging in all of the Seven Deadly Sins and breaking at least 9 of 10 Commandments. I'm not religious, but then I don't pass myself off as a person of faith. That the US Talibangicals buy his schtick says just how stupid they are.

 

My primary beef with trump is that he is 100% self-centered and couldn't care less about the US. He practices pure projection, meaning everything of which he accuses others is what he regularly does. You want 'weaponization'? We can call this my opinion---so no LINK, but I know it as fact: on 23 January 2017, he sent Jared and Bannon to CIA HQ to find out what the agency was capable of doing in terms of eavesdropping, and how trump could use it to go after US domestic critics. Pompeo was the new DCI at that point, so it was up to the agency lawyers to read the riot act to Bannon and Jared, and report back to trump that what he hoped to do was illegal. Oh, and I bet you think it's 'pure coincidence' that the IRS did aggressive audits of both James Comey and Andrew McCabe in the same year. That is weaponization, and just evidence of more trumpian projection.

 

Call this opinion, too, but on 21 January 2017 trump tried to avoid a Code Pink protest on PA Ave (middle aged women seem to scare him, as other Code Pink protests sent trump running into the White House bunker), but came out to agency HQ in Langley, first met with SIS officers (where he spoke for 30 minutes solely about how great he wanted everyone to believe he is), and then stood in front of the Memorial Wall in the lobby (where we all have friends memorialized), and told the audience again how great we must believe he is and how he had just had 'the biggest Inauguration ever' (a lie...not even 20% of the crowd at Obama's in 2009). trump had bused in a few loads of new White House staff, had then seated in the first three rows, and had them howl and cheer his every boast. Real agency folks had to sit behind and listen to his silly talk, though a good many said "eff this sh!t" and walked off.

 

Finally, when trump lost in 2020, he:

 

1) stole highly classified documents that jeopardize both natsec and the identities of clandestine foreign assets. It had to be assumed everything in those documents was compromised, as his club is open to anyone who can pay the $200K initiation fee, which means hostile foreign intel operatives such as the MSS. He lied about returning what he stole.

 

2) He pressured State officials to change the actual vote, obviating democracy

 

3) He (allegedly) was intimately involved in the Fake Elector scheme

 

4) He called his morons to DC for a pro forma certification, and then told them to march to the Capitol and 'fight like hell', an act that resulted in 140 injured police officers and almost resulted in the execution of the Vice President---and all the while he sat on his bloated backside doing nothing but egging it on more with his Tweets. After some of his terrorist mob were caught and convicted, he calls them 'hostages' and 'political prisoners', when they are just scum.

 

That you support him despite all of this (and lots more) is proof that it is YOU who suffer from TDS.

 

Tell me, how do you justify his criminality? Oh, and what are his policies (not his silly slogans, but actual policies), that have you climbing up his backside in fawning sycophancy?

 

Real <deleted> can be seen if you go look in your bathroom mirror.

Nobody is showing up to support Trump. Not protestors, not his family, and not his "friends".

Again, I doubt you are capable of understanding, nor being honest enough to admit TDS is what cultists like you suffer, not those who oppose trump. Those who oppose trump are afflicted with something altogether different: it's called 'patriotism', something you can never know.

And with all you reasonably say, this was the 21 April headline in the NY Times:

 

Will a Mountain of Evidence Be Enough to Convict Trump?
Monday will see opening statements in the People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump. The state’s case seems strong, but a conviction is far from assured.

Trump fatigue setting in. Supporters and donors are getting sick and exhausted of the s…show. Polls are reflecting this phenomenon.

It was embarrassing watching Trump try to claim that 1,000's of protestors were turned away by police.  There were only a handful and they weren't turned away by police.  Trump has reached the point where he will just make up a total lie and assume that his nutty supporters will believe it.  Well wait, he's always done that. 

[Emdog]

The number of pro Trump protesters would "fill a sedan" one reporter said

Not one family member as shown up in court for the trial. Not one.

One analyst remarked "Jeffrey Dahmer's (the cannibal) parents came every day when he was on trial.". Niece Mary Trump remarked everything in that family is transactional, and there is nothing in Donald's trial that is seen as worth attending

Literally millions of Trump voters live within 10 miles of both the courthouse and Mara Lago.

 

And yet maybe a few dozen might show up at either location on given day.

 

I guess they don't really love him long-time.

[Walker88]

A journalist named Vaughn Hillyard posted a Tweet calling out trump's lie about 'thousands turned away' along with a video of the courthouse area that had cars rolling down the street in front of the court, unimpeded by anything. Hillyer noted that in the viewer area across the street from the court, he counted a total of one trump supporter. The video shows ample room for thousands of people, but the total, including cops, was about 3.

 

(The Tweet and video can be found on X at @VaughnHillyard)

 

I can help donny out here, however, by stating something about large crowd size that is absolutely, 100% true:

 

trump drew the largest supporter crowd ever of any ex-President on trial for schtupping a porn star and paying her off to keep quiet.

 

Now that crowd might only have been 1 person, but the record stands until broken. Though not quite as impressive as Cy Young's 511 wins, it is a record unlikely to be broken by anyone other than trump himself.

 

Somewhere on the order of 85,000 people in the NYC area voted for trump, but it seems they did not answer his clarion call to come show their support. Maybe they've all driven down to DC for his Capitol attack trial, or down to Georgia for his Rico trial, or Florida for his stolen documents trial.

 

Frankly, the trial should be on TV. Not sure why NY State would prevent the taxpayer from seeing what their tax dollars bought. Watching the trial would also give outsiders more confidence in the verdict, when it comes, and allow the law to control the narrative, rather than trump and his Tweets.

The crazy MAGA-orange make-up is now just completely out of control.

 

In a horror movie, where the more demented the star becomes, the more flame-like his skin gets, you'd call it too obvious.

 

He looks increasingly devil-possesed -which goes good with his whole stench of the undead-thing. Smite him, Lord!
