Donald Trump meets with construction workers who erupted into chants of ‘USA!’ before ‘hush money’ trial
NY Post
Former President Donald Trump declared that he is “going to run very hard in New York” in the months leading up to the presidential election at a surprise visit to a Manhattan construction site Thursday.
The former president was seen on video shaking hands with construction workers and other supporters on 48th Street and Park Avenue before returning to his “hush money” trial, which was entering its third day.
“I did nothing wrong. It’s a political witchhunt. It’s election interference, that’s all it is,” Trump told the MAGA hat-wearing crowd, which broke out at one point into chants of “USA! USA!”
Trump’s supporters could be seen cheering him on, with the crod waving their red hats around while others held fists in the air. Some arrived as early as 5:15 a.m., one excitedly telling The Post, “We love Trump because he loves this country.”
“Wake up America! Wake up! Before you lose your country or freedom, better wake up,” a female supporter said, getting applauded by other supporters.
“We came from a communist country we know this country is going to the wrong direction,” she added. “Wake up! Especially the media, they better tell the truth — otherwise you will become the enemy of the people.”
