The Circus Trump Wanted Outside His Trial Hasn’t Arrived
-
Donald J. Trump was evidently not happy with what he saw out the window of his chauffeured S.U.V. as he rode through Lower Manhattan on Monday morning for the beginning of opening arguments in his first criminal trial. The scene that confronted him as he approached the dingy courthouse at 100 Centre Street was underwhelming. Across the street, at Collect Pond Park, the designated site for protesters during the trial, only a handful of Trump supporters had gathered, and the number would not grow much throughout the morning.
Mr. Trump has portrayed his legal jeopardy as a threat to America itself, and he has suggested that the country would not put up with it. But the streets around the courthouse on Monday were chaos-free — well-patrolled and relatively quiet. As his motorcade made its way to the courthouse, the few Trump supporters gathered in the park were outnumbered by Trump detractors, who waved signs about his alleged liaison with a porn star. Mr. Trump had tried to gin up something noisier. Shortly after 7 a.m., he posted on his social media website that “America Loving Protesters should be allowed to protest at the front steps of Courthouses” and he followed this lament with a call for his supporters to “GO OUT AND PEACEFULLY PROTEST. RALLY BEHIND MAGA. SAVE OUR COUNTRY!”
The narrow criminal courthouse steps in Lower Manhattan are not routinely open for protest — and particularly not when a former president of the United States is inside, guarded by a phalanx of Secret Service agents who have worked with local officials on security measures. Asked to comment on Mr. Trump’s frustrations about the lack of protest activity, a spokeswoman, Karoline Leavitt, tried to connect it to the district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, and President Biden and insisted people were being prevented from being in Lower Manhattan because of the barricades. Later in the morning, Mr. Trump sought to cast the poor turnout as more evidence of a plot against him. In a post at 8:50 a.m., he implied that would-be MAGA protesters were being discriminated against for political reasons. “Unlike at Columbia University where the Radical Left Palestinian Protesters sat on the Front Lawn, practically took over the School, and screamed, ‘Death to the Jews, Death to Israel, Death to America,’ and nothing happened to them, Lower Manhattan surrounding the Courthouse, where I am heading now, is completely CLOSED DOWN,” Mr. Trump posted on Truth Social. “SO UNFAIR!!!”
The area was not, in fact, completely closed down. The courthouse has remained open to the public, including spectators who want to attend the trial, pool cameras in the hallway — and even the sidewalk in front of the courthouse has remained open to pedestrian traffic. Twenty minutes later, Mr. Trump compared the courthouse to “an armed camp.” Mr. Trump had made no secret of the fact that he wanted a circus to accompany his trial. He had told advisers he wanted as much media as possible to cover his daily jeremiads against the prosecutors and judge who — he claims without evidence — are conspiring against him at the direction of Mr. Biden himself. Mr. Trump publicly encouraged protests and several allies, including the New York Young Republican Club, tried to round up a crowd.
The demonstrations have so far been spotty at best.

NYT opinions? Really?
Rn your cut-n-paste appears next to this: https://community.gaytorrent.ru/topic/64841/reddit-anarcho-communist-dies-from-when-he-set-himself-on-fire-outside-trump-courthouse/1
But of course, "have a circus" isn't point. Nothing anybody wants.
Biden Regime attempt to jail its opposition leader, is the point. & something only you slow-witted libs want.
Because of this trial, USA can never again preach "democracy".
@Spintendo You didn't think this through.
-
Where is the Carter Center monitoring the election to ensure it's fair?
Liberals have killed so many things, that were deemed good; ie free speech on college campuses, democracy, etc, etc, etc.
-
@blablarg18 The "absent circus" is referring to the lack of Trump supporters.
A paper that's been in continual operations since 1851 (NYTIMES) versus one started in 2017 by Sayed Ali Taghva (the Post Millennial). There's a comparison worth being made there??
I'm glad you don't pump gas my friend, because you'd make a very questionable weigh scale.

@raphjd The Carter Center is already planning elections observations for Arizona and Michigan in 2024.

@Spintendo You've lost the plot again. WHY, should there be "circus", of "Trump supporters" outside physical court room, in digital/virtual age, where evil Biden Regime jails Trump supporters for years if they show up...... all to fit to YOUR, exact little expectations? or NYT opinion writer's?
And what does it prove, if you can sit there & jack yourself off to thought "Ooh there isn't! Year 1851 called & said so" ???????
You libs are truly slow-witted.
The key point in all this is: Biden Regime trying to jail its opponent. USA can no longer preach "democracy" to anybody.
That's what you miss.
Biden Regime jails its opponent. USA can no longer preach "democracy" to anybody.
Entire world is, at this point, cavalcade of Trump supporters.
And btw - JUST btw - again, not that it proves much, NOT that it is needed - but ONLY btw - ONLY to suggest how far up own- ass your head is - Here is a circus of Trump supporters outside courtroom, in real-life video.

You make this easy.
I couldn't quickly find best one - Little Black kid screaming "I love you Trump!" as he goes in - Will post it, just btw, just for you, just for fun - if I do see it again.

I remember past elections outside the US where they condemned the government for using lawfare.
When Carter criticized Mugabe (Zimbabwe) for doing what Biden is doing, was Carter being racist or selective in his outrage?
I used to respect Carter and the Carter Center, but not anymore.
-
USA in 2024.
-
Regime's election opponent must defend himself in a series of contrived #lawfare criminal and civil suits that are Hitler/Stalin show trials in essence.
-
On campuses, Jewish students are persecuted and attacked.
-
In most states, there are no voting laws enforced that verify ballots come from qualified citizen voters.
-
Peeps who protest #3 peacefully, are imprisoned for years, in many cases without trial & with inhumane conditions.
-
Borders open to the point where any person able to walk can cross into the nation & receive free money and support. No mechanism to ensure that criminals and terrorists are not taking advantage
-
So-called president visibly has advanced elder dementia.
-
& labels opposition party as a “threat to democracy,” often alongside imagery presenting himself as a powerful scary dictator - remember Biden's Red Sermon?
-
National debt at 120% of GDP, classic threshold of pending collapse.
-
Middle class citizens cannot afford to purchase a home.
-
while so-called "foreign aid", hundreds of billion$$$, launders money to leadership class
-
Military focuses on "diversity" rather than competence, gets less & less effective.
-
Container ship destroys Key Bridge, and 30 days later still has not been cleared out.
-
Media largely refuse to report truth (the above).

So, let's see. Trump in Manhattan is largely cheered by crowds.
See video above. Or also this:
https://thepostmillennial.com/trump-receives-heros-welcome-on-streets-of-new-york
President Donald Trump received a hero's welcome in New York City on Tuesday as he went uptown to Harlem to visit the bodega of Jose Alba. Alba had faced charges from New York DA Alvin Bragg after acting in self-defense to thwart a violent robbery in his corner store.
Bragg is the same prosecutor who brought the current case against Trump, 34 misdemeanor counts of fraudulent business documents, which Bragg elevated to felonies after claiming these alleged crimes were in service to bigger crimes. He has not named those crimes.
Trump spoke to the crowds thronging to see him as Secret Service agents tried to keep space between the president and New Yorkers. The crowds chanted "We love Trump!"
"I love you, Trump!" Kids shouted to the former president.
Notice something: this is Harlem streets.
Why Harlem streets? Why not at courthouse?
Because - @spintendo & NYT left this out, conveniently - Courthouse is an armed camp.
You could argue it's an armed camp, because of Presidential security needs - of course it would be.
Or you could argue it's an armed camp, just because libs hate Trump & NYT wants to write misleading articles about lack of crowd at courthouse.
Either way - knock yourself out - But yes, courthouse is an armed camp.
-
Now. Let me say again, crowd stuff doesn't matter, either way.
I quoted stuff above, just for moment's fun, to show how far spintendo & NYT heads are up their asses.
But...... No it doesn't matter, one way or the other way.
ALL that matters is:
--> Biden Regime jails its opponent. USA can no longer preach "democracy" to anybody. <--
USA legitimacy gone - burned up, by corrupt libs.
Rest is hand-waving.

@spintendo For your eyes only
NYC workers chant "We Love Trump!"https://twitter.com/i/status/1783479067301331226
BONUS: more video

BONUS 2: Mind-reading Hillary, reading minds, claims Trump loves Putin because 'Putin does what Trump would like to do' like 'Imprison his opposition,' -
And Trump did not respond to Hillary, in part because he is.......... ....... .............. ......................... ..................... ............. ......... ....... wait for it................ ....... ..................... .................... . ............. ...... LITERALLY ON TRIAL....AWAITING PRISON...BY DEMS / HIS OPPOSITION. Right now. -
There is a reason for this. There are liberal groups that PAY people to demonstrate, protest, etc. They even provide signs and weapons.
Sometimes they fund the supplies and food, etc. Sometimes they pay them cash individually. -
