Trump meets cheering NYC construction workers ahead of huge day where Supreme Court will consider whether he is immune from prosecution as he sits in hush money trial
2024-04-26
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Donald Trump was greeted by hundreds chanting 'USA, USA' as he met union workers in New York on the morning of a monumental day in the courts.

The former president greeted teamsters on a construction site and signed MAGA hats as he prepared for another day of testimony in the Manhattan hush money trial.

Crowds of construction workers and supporters lined up through the night as they anxiously waited to catch a glimpse of their beloved former president.

Meanwhile, Trump's lawyers are heading to the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C. on Thursday morning in attempts to persuade the nine justices that he is immune from prosecution.

'This whole thing it's election interference' Trump told the crowd regarding his multiple legal battles before taking a shot at President Joe Biden.

'We're leading by a lot. He is the worst president in the history of our country. He makes Jimmy Carter look great.

Supporters had started gathering shortly after 4AM, adorning themselves in signature red MAGA hats and carried flags and banners with them, one of which said 'Trump won, save America'.

Construction workers at the site followed suit, also wearing MAGA hats, while others wore hard hats plastered in Trump stickers.

As his motorcade pulled up outside the site, the crowd broke into chats of ‘USA! USA! USA!’ before breaking into applause as Trump made his appearance.

The former President then spent the next 30 minutes signing hats and helmets, taking selfies with supporters and workers who waited anxiously to meet him.

After the motorcade left the area, the large group quickly dispersed with the majority of workers who had gathered for hours returning to the site.

After his stop in Manhattan, he will head downtown to court, where he will sit and listen to the third day of former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker's testimony

Just a few hundred miles south of New York, the Supreme Court will consider on Thursday arguments that could have huge implications for Trump's federal criminal trials.

'Well, we have a big case today, the judge isn't allowing me to go,' he lamented.

He added of the Supreme Court case: 'A president has to have immunity. If you don't have immunity, you just have a ceremonial president.'

#2  At the end of the trial, poll NYC. What they are doing is very dumb. New York is a Dem state because the city votes near monolithically Dem. If they let him run too many spontaneous rallies during show trial breaks, the monolithic may shift beyond where they need it to be.

#1  The Biden regime and their corrupt judges can't make Trump shut up. Or shut his lawyers up. Can't get the Supremes to go along. Or the poll numbers for Trump to go along. Or get the Teamsters on their side. Or inflation to go down.
