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.

    Especially a defendant already on a very thin thick rope regarding his conduct towards jurors and others.

    But no. Here it is, right there, stochastic terrorism in inviting supporters and suggesting that security be loosened. For a narcissistic former president. Totally normal.
