“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. It is an armed camp to keep people away. Maggot Hagerman of The Failing New York Times, falsely reported that I was disappointed with the crowds. No, I’m disappointed with Maggot, and her lack of writing skill, and that some of these many police aren’t being sent to Columbia and NYU to keep the schools open and the students safe. The Legal Scholars call the case a Scam that should never have been brought. I call it Election Interference and a personal hit job by a conflicted and corrupt Judge who shouldn’t be allowed to preside over this Political Hoax. New York Justice is being reduced to ashes, and the World is breathlessly watching. Hopefully, Appellate Courts can save it, and all of the companies that are fleeing to other jurisdictions. They can no longer take a chance on New York Justice!” posted fat former President Trump on Truth Social on Tuesday, seething over just one MAGA protestor showing up for him in the park across the street as of 9:30 EDT that morning.

No need to source others’ reporting here to demonstrate that Trump is full of shit on the claim of an “armed camp” when we have our own: There’s no screening required to get in the park. As of last week, the layout of the demonstration pens is exactly the same as it was a year ago when the fat bastard was first arraigned. Now MAYBE if “thousands” of fanboys tried to show up they would be turned away given the space constraints. But since that never happened this is the first you’re hearing about it, in a social media post by a demented and angry old man who makes shit up.
