Saddest Homecoming Ever? Trump Greeted By A Single Supporter In New York Return.

Source: Huffpost

03/09/2021 12:08 am ET Updated 1 hour ago

Former President Donald Trump didn’t get a warm welcome as he returned to New York for the first time since leaving office: Just one person stood outside Trump Tower to cheer his arrival on Sunday night, the New York Post reported.

The Daily News said Trump is in his hometown to check on the family business, which had been run by his two adult sons while he was in the White House.

By Monday, a handful of supporters had gathered outside Trump Tower with signs and flags, as well as a group of counterprotesters with a giant inflatable rat dressed like Trump and “Arrest Trump” banners.

One demonstrator in New York on Monday held up a “Florida man go home” sign.

The former president likely hasn’t been in a New York state of mind in any case: Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. is reportedly investigating potential real estate and/or tax fraud.

Awww, how sweet! Despite being universally despised in NYC, he came to check on his two favorite adult children: Money Laundering Trump and Tax Fraud Trump. And, likely, have a super friendly chart over a can of Diet Coke or two with his buddy Cy Vance... I doubt he will have much time left to check on how badly Bevis and Butthead Trump messed up his family business, though.

Something like a million a year. Granted, that won't pay for a private jet, but we still pay.

..how does he check on the business? Bet it's all done orally or with flash cards (hah!) so the dummy can at least get some grasp of what's going on. Bet the kids, staff and accountants all lie like rugs to hime with everything is just "a-o.k."

Gotta love a stupid grifter who has staff to do his dirty work.

we had an evening rally in front of the courthouse in a nearby county seat. The rally was for "No kids in cages." We held signs and waved to passing cars.

It was a very cold evening. We had about thirty people, and we kept rotating them in and out, while people went back to their cars to get warm. We stayed for a little under two hours.

Across the street, there was one trump supporter, wearing a large hat and waving a sign. Some of the local trumpers tried to make fun of us for having only thirty people. In a red county! I had a picture of the trumper in my phone. I showed it to a few people to make the point that trumpers are wimps. They can't even take a little cold. We had someone there who is in her nineties. We had a couple of people in wheelchairs.

After thousands die in NY and Trump acting like he didn't want to help out with ventilators. I can't imagine he's NY's favorite person.
