“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!” – Trump, posting to Truth Social.
This is one of those “Trump doesn’t want you to believe your own eyes” times. It’s easy to visit the area around the courthouse. The park is open and accessible. The police officers are friendly, maybe a tad bored. A woman was walking her dog when I arrived this morning. pic.twitter.com/XyJEUQK0FK

This should go without saying, but if “thousands” of people were turned away, it would be a huge news story. On the contrary, I heard reporters outside the courthouse expressing surprise that they hadn’t seen a single Trump fan milling about today

Trump just claimed that the police have shut down the streets around the courthouse for blocks & that his protesters can’t be here.
Just…not true. There is one pro-Trump person here & the main street along the courthouse is open to traffic. pic.twitter.com/JyrH3ZkNrX

Thousands of people are being turned away from the Courthouse in Lower Manhattan, to peacefully demonstrate in support of President Trump! This is an absolute disgrace! pic.twitter.com/OC8Gw09i5m
