Trump can't accept MAGA isn't willing to fight for him this time

[Tom of Temecula]

Former President Donald Trump expected huge crowds of supporters to show up in protest as he stood trial in Manhattan this week — and now he's desperate to come up with any explanation for their absence that avoids the harsh truth, wrote Amanda Marcotte for Salon.

This comes as the former president lashes out at New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman for reporting that he is disappointed with the lack of protests outside his trial, and insists that no one is there because police have cordoned off the streets around the Manhattan courthouse — a claim which has been debunked.

Another of his excuses is that Trump supporters are just too wary of setting foot in New York City due to out-of-control crime, Marcotte noted. "It's all a lie — crime is way down from the pandemic-related spikes — but it's one Trump repeats ad nauseum. And it's constantly reinforced by Fox News, which pushes out a series of misleading stories and images meant to scare their elderly suburbanite audiences into believing that going into the nation's largest city results in instant murder.

"Nonetheless, Trump keeps pleading with his followers to run through what they've been told is a 'bloodbath' in order to, you know, persuade Bragg and presiding Judge Juan Merchan to just give up on this whole trial nonsense." Meanwhile, there's a much simpler explanation for why Trump's crowds aren't materializing, she wrote, and it's one he doesn't want to accept — there just aren't enough people left who care about him.

6. "there just aren't enough people left who care about him"

No one cares about him. Period.

No one is protesting outside the court. No one from his family is in court. No one will mourn him when he finally shuffles off this mortal coil. What a sad, pathetic waste of skin he is.

8. Those jurors must see that too.

7. "...Trump supporters are just too wary of setting foot in New York City due to out-of-control crime..."

LOL. I thought Maga were the gun-toting, he-man types who weren't afraid of anything. They can't stand up to some city thugs?

17. Those "city thugs" are more likely than not

just indigents who sleep on benches and fish for stuff in dumpsters.

Just saying -- $100 a day and you need reservations, if not an invitation.

13. Many of those who would have been willing to fight for Trump this time are already

… in prison, under arrest, and or pleaded guilty for 1/6/21.* And Trump’s other supporters
know that he is a lost cause and are not willing to to ruin their lives and or spend time in
jail for him.

Trump is now sitting in his own shit in court as his family and MAGA supporters have now
abandoned him, he is dying inside of shame, and he trying desperately to keep from spending
the rest of his life locked up.

* as of early 2024 1,200 have been arrested, about 480 are serving time, and 800 have entered
guilty pleas.

[Wednesdays]

21. "1,200 have been arrested..."

"...about 480 are serving time, and 800 have entered guilty pleas."

And the rest at the J6 crime scene are at large, and are not about to blow their cover by showing up again for TSF's trial!

25. Such a heartwarming story. Hopefully, the judge will be emboldened.

Maybe the world WON'T end if Trump is tossed in the slammer!

[agingdem]

26. He's impotent...

his only stalwart supporters are the few idiots that attend his rallies and I don't see the MAGA House trash running to New York City to protest...they know the reception will not be a friendly...

[GenThePerservering]

27. The Jan 6 idiots

are a drop in the bucket insofar as his supporters - we're talking about NUMBERS he wants. Dump wants all of those so-called "real Americans" to show up with their guns and tacticool tat from Amazon, their tiki torches from Lowe's, he wants the fluffy people with their lawnchairs, he wants the Clown Convoy to show up with their flags and weird Gopper wear, those bored looking people who sit behind him at every rally, and alllll of those big, strong men with tears in their eyes.

But they're getting tired of him, are out of money because they gave it all to this needy billionaire, and have other things to do.
