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.

    No one’s scared of him.?he makes people a lot of money. There’s a reason cnn and msnbc have spent years giving him 24/7 attention and free advertisement.

    They desperately want him back in because it was great for ratings.

      Smells like fear to me. If it was ratings throwing him in jail would send them through the roof.

        Throwing him in jail would be a story for a week. Definitely not enough to keep the gravy train rolling
