On the outskirts of the courthouse, Trump’s followers deflate after the verdict
The followers of former President Donald Trump (2017-2021) throughout the day maintained an aggressive attitude at the gates of the courthouse in New York and led several altercations with other protesters of the opposite sign. But curiously they deflated when the tycoon’s guilty verdict was known.
Throughout the day, the supporters and opponents had been arriving at a space that the Police had scrupulously separated with fences so that they did not mix, and at no time did they add up to more than a hundred people.
The police and journalists almost added up the same thing as them.
Mostly, white people came to the gates of the court, although some Asians, Latinos or blacks were seen. Traffic was cut off in the area throughout the day, and not only on the road, but also for pedestrians.
The character of the day, who already stole her fifteen minutes of glory yesterday, was a transsexual supporter of Trump who proudly showed her breasts and even used them to attack an ‘enemy’ to whom she put a breast in front of her, before destroying the sign that the other was carrying.
In general, it was Trump’s supporters who were most encouraged and shouted more vehemently, but without ever reaching violence.
Among his most repeated screams were those of “fake news” or “we are going to deport you” – as if they were immigrants -, in addition to “Puta justicia”.
The police, for their part, treated them with a silk glove and dedicated themselves to asking them for calm.
When the guilt verdict was known, the tension did not grow, rather on the contrary: before the timid cheers of the ‘anti-Trump’, their supporters crouched down, and one of them even began to cry, declaring that “love is not a crime” – in reference to Trump’s sexual encounter, it is supposed – and proclaiming that he had nothing left but to “lock himself in his house.”
Another friend of his kept shouting that Trump “has already won the 2024 elections,” because, according to him, the verdict will give him votes.
In front of them, the ‘anti-Trump’ shouted mainly “Enclock him up, lock him up.”

FBI foils ISIS-Inspired attack in Michigan, arrests five teens
Kash Patel did not provide further details, but police sources told CBS News that the potential attack was “inspired” by the Islamic State (ISIS).
“This morning, the FBI thwarted a potential terrorist attack and arrested several individuals in Michigan who were allegedly planning a violent attack during the Halloween weekend,” Patel wrote on X.
“Thanks to swift action and close coordination with our local partners, a possible terrorist act was prevented before it could be carried out,” he added.
CBS reported that five people between the ages of 16 and 20 were arrested on Friday. At least one of them was reportedly acquainted with a former member of the Michigan National Guard, who was arrested in May for plotting an ISIS-inspired attack on a U.S. military facility in the Detroit suburbs.
