Trump claims thousands of his supporters showed up for his trial
Donald Trump claimed dubiously on Tuesday that thousands of his supporters were being prevented by police and other security measures from turning out to support him as he undergoes his high-profile criminal hush money trial in New York City.
“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.”
He made similar comments that morning at the courthouse in Manhattan, claiming that “great Americans” seeking to show their support for him want to assemble outside the trial, but “for blocks you can’t get near this courthouse.”
Observers at the trial Tuesday morning noted that the main street along the courthouse is open to traffic and that only a small number of Trump supporters appeared to be present.
Is there a lie he won't tell in service to his self-aggrandizement? share
