On Monday, April 3rd, thousands of supporters of 45th President Donald Trump turned out on the streets of Palm Beach, Florida, rallying in support for the former and future president as he traveled to New York City for what many have characterized as a banana republic-like indictment.
The videos of those supporters took social media by storm, highlighting the huge degree of support that Trump has from his base, composed as it is of highly devoted supporters.
Journalist Laura Loomer tweeted about the supporters, saying, “Patriots have been lined up since 5:30 this morning near Palm Beach international airport to show support for President Trump. There has NEVER been a president in this country who is as beloved as President Donald Trump.”
She also tweeted out a video of the pro-Trump turnout, captioning it by saying, “Trump supporters are out in full force today on Southern Blvd near Mar a Lago and the Palm Beach airport to rally in support of President Donald J Trump as he heads to New York for a WITCH HUNT INDICTMENT!”

Trump was headed to NYC to surrender to authorities, be processed, and be arraigned before heading back to Mar-a-Lago now that he has been indicted by an NYC Grand Jury. His attorney, Joe Tacopina, explained to CNN‘s Dana Bash what he expects to take place on Tuesday, saying:
“In theory, it should be like hundreds of other arraignments that I have done in that building over the course of my career…you walk in. You see a judge. You plead not guilty. You set a schedule, and you leave.
“I honestly don’t know how this is going to go, but hopefully as smoothly as possible. And then we begin the battle to right this wrong because it’s a day that in my opinion, the rule of law in the United States has died.”
Posting about the situation on Truth Social, former President Trump said:
“VERY UNFAIR VENUE, WITH SOME AREAS THAT VOTED 1% REPUBLICAN. THIS CASE SHOULD BE MOVED TO NEARBY STATEN ISLAND – WOULD BE A VERY FAIR AND SECURE LOCATION FOR THE TRIAL. ADDITIONALLY, THE HIGHLY PARTISAN JUDGE & HIS FAMILY ARE WELL KNOWN TRUMP HATERS. HE WAS AN UNFAIR DISASTER ON A PREVIOUS TRUMP RELATED CASE, WOULDN’T RECUSE, GAVE HORRIBLE JURY INSTRUCTIONS, & IMPOSSIBLE TO DEAL WITH DURING THE WITCH HUNT TRIAL. HIS DAUGHTER WORKED FOR “KAMALA” & NOW THE BIDEN-HARRIS CAMPAIGN. KANGAROO COURT!!!”
“THE RADICAL LEFT DEMOCRATS HAVE CRIMINALIZED THE JUSTICE SYSTEM. THIS IS NOT WHAT AMERICA WAS SUPPOSED TO BE!”
“Wow! District Attorney Bragg just illegally LEAKED the various points, and complete information, on the pathetic Indictment against me. I know the reporter and so, unfortunately, does he. This means that he MUST BE IMMEDIATELY INDICTED. Now, if he wants to really clean up his reputation, he will do the honorable thing and, as District Attorney, INDICT HIMSELF. He will go down in Judicial history, and his Trump Hating wife will be, I am sure, very proud of him!”
