I can't imagine this is what Trump wants. A bunch of his supporters are talking about taking the trip down there.
In addition to being his primary residence, it is a country club. I can't imagine the folks that pay 100s of thousands of dollars for membership fees want to enter through a herd of meal team 6 types standing outside the residence brandishing firearms. Outside of optics for a news story, I can't imagine his "base" hanging out on his property would make him very happy since he has so much disdain for them.
I'm hoping they show up there to see how he reacts and his clientele react to having the entrance blocked by middle-aged incels.

(42,421 posts)He's planning to turn himself in at the DA's office in Manhattan, and accept his indictment. There won't be an arrest as far as we know, he'll walk out the same day on his own recognizance.
This fake protest is just a play for the TV news, is my guess.

(12,046 posts)Trump wants a spectacle and to be a martyr... "they are fighting for me!"... he wants a big crowd of angry MAGAS to lead every broadcast in America and intimidate every judge and DA... inconveniencing his guests??? Do you think Trump GAF about that? I don't.
