The former president suggested sending the NYPD officers running security around his trial to be deployed to quell protests at Columbia University
Donald Trump would really like his fans to protest outside of his criminal hush money trial in Manhattan.
While protesters are allowed to be present in designated areas outside of the Manhattan Criminal Court, MAGA aficionados have shown little willingness to organize around the trial. On Monday, a disgruntled Trump called for security around the trial to be eased so that his followers would feel more comfortable gathering to support him.
He’s trying to J6 the trial.
Call in the national guard Joe.
The NYPD is the size of an army and armed as well as one. They can handle it.
As long as they are there in advance and prepared.
Its not like the capitol police were underfunded.
One has tanks, drones, spy planes, literal roadblocks builtin into all the streets around the courthouse, and regularly boasts about their anti-aircraft abilities. The other protects people who aren’t even in their office buildings half the time. Not even close to the same.

Not sure if talking about NYPD or national guard.
