After Large Rallies, Trump Is Greeted at Courthouse by a Single Fan

On a day off from court, Donald J. Trump on Wednesday flew to Michigan and Wisconsin for campaign rallies in front of thousands of supporters. On Thursday, he returned to a Lower Manhattan courthouse, where a single supporter stood outside waving a Trump 2024 flag.

“I don’t feel lonely because my heart is with Trump,” said the flag-holder, Lily Qi, 62, of Wilmington, Del., as she stood in the park across from the New York City Criminal Court. She had ridden a train to New York City and is staying with friends, saying that she could not afford a hotel room on her office-cleaner salary. Born and raised in China, Ms. Qi said she had attended a dozen Trump rallies.

At around 9 a.m. on Thursday, she stood alone at Collect Pond Park but was soon joined by two demonstrators in T-shirts featuring a cartoon of Mr. Trump in jail. They are “troublemakers,” she said.

One of the protesters, Barrett Cobb, carried a sign that read “Jail Trump.” “I’m extremely upset they haven’t put him in jail yet,” said Ms. Cobb, a classical musician who lives in Manhattan.

"saying that she could not afford a hotel room on her office-cleaner salary. Born and raised in China, Ms. Qi said she had attended a dozen Trump rallies. "

Yep, it's a cult.

Even the local biased media in Wisconsin reported "a few hundred." Below projections. I heard the rally in Michigan was pretty sparse.

Seems that too many MAGAs who don't live in NY don't want to spend the bus money, or are afraid they won't be able to figure out the Manhattan subway system.

He's been telling them for years how dangerous those big blue cities are - people constantly getting raped and robbed and murdered by all those nasty immigrant drug dealers and "bad hombres" he's warned them about. Poor things are probably terrified to step foot in such a gidforsaken place!

Just in case:

he's bored everybody to death talking endlessly the same thing again and again and again...he has no original thought, his mind is shot to hell, and his dementia is getting worse by the day. I wonder when he'll finally get that stroke finally, that his glitches have warning him about. He won't do anything about it, since he's fudged on everything, his health, his bone spurs, his so-called top of the line mentality (I laugh at this one in particular).
