Is there any indication of MAGAhats traveling to NY City? What's Trump really doing?

Are there airplane or bus bookings with Manhattan as a destination? Remember what occurred prior to Jan. 6.!

I think Trump is guessing about the date (and it's a good guess), but he put it out there as certain to see how well he can focus the violence.

This time there's no Congressional Certification place, time, and date, but Trump can at least specify a date.

Maybe he's testing his "focusing equipment."

He's wondering how to get his "toy" to work in a more diffuse situation.

Subway would be the lower ring of urban hell that they wouldn’t risk.

By self-admission, I'm a grown up old "liberal" woman who, by BMI numbers, is a bit overweight. - Is vulnerability a characteristic of "liberals"? All my life, I've lived with being "directionally challenged. Yeah, spin me around in the mall, and I might get lost and panicky." Getting off a bus I had never taken before at the right stop or taking a freeway never before taken was also problematic. The subways of DC were a novel experience shared with DH. A counselor asked me once, "What's the worse that could happen if you asked or perhaps retraced your path?" Even asked for help, you see.

Doesn't mean I'm "one of them", the willfully ignorant, nor one that can't do critical thinking, nor a product of familial incest, nor "a redneck RWNJ" or whatever your definition might be.

I can understand and chuckle at myself (the sarcastic humor in your post), I hope!

And that city island might be lighter and brighter for at least a few hours on that day.

9. If he's hoping for a big turnout in NY he'll be disappointed.

As has already been said those true believers s as r afraid of cities in general and especially NY. I’m sure they think it’s infested with people of color and wokeness.

They’ll look at the folks who answered his call to DC and see how that worked out. Trump was in a position of power back then and now he is not.

Regardless of what he says, he doesn't know when anything will happen.
