By 4 p.m., the courthouse perimeter became a battleground of emotions. Supporters of the former president brandished campaign flags proclaiming “Trump for President ’24” and “Finish The Wall,” while another waved a sign that defiantly declared, “Trump won.”
A fake presidential limousine even made an appearance, carrying a passenger donning a Trump mask, adding a touch of theatrics to the scene. As such, the Trump arraignment will remain a historic moment, reports say.
