If Trump is imprisoned, the assault on the Capitol “will seem like child’s play,” followers warn

Around a hundred Trump supporters gathered this Friday in front of the Tower trump in New York while the former president, found guilty yesterday by criminal means of 34 crimes of document falsification, offered a press conference in this building about the verdict.

Far from pessimism reigning, the Trump supporters who gathered on the famous Fifth Avenue were convinced that the former president will not face jail time when on July 11 the judge in charge of the case, Juan Merchan, sets the sentence, but also They warned of strong mobilizations if the opposite happens.

“If he is imprisoned, January 6 (2021, when the assault on the Capitol took place) will seem like child’s play“Dion, a New Yorker who proudly says that he was present on the aforementioned date in Washington – in which Trump supporters tried to reverse the election of Joe Biden – and that the FBI has him, told EFE”signed”.

Dion, one of the founders of the website ‘trumpordeath.com’ where he sells giant flags with the tycoon’s face and ‘Make America Great Again’ caps for $40, also showed his support for the Proud Boys, the ultra-nationalist group of extreme right that played a fundamental role in the coup attempt at the Capitol.

And he added: “If it happens, we will defy any authority. Police, military… We will see how far they can go and if they can shoot civilians”.

This Friday’s scene in front of the Trump Tower combined the hundreds of tourists who walk through the main luxury commercial artery in New York every day with radical pro-Trump followers and even a gay group favorable to the tycoon, creating a surreal image.

An extensive row of television cameras located on the sidewalk in front of the tower – since the Police had cordoned off the block immediately next to the building – made it difficult for people to move while workers from stores like Prada or Dolce&Gabbana also took to the street to immortalize the moment with their selfies.

A milestone – he is the first former US president found guilty by criminal means – which fervent Trumpists who usually appear at campaign events with flags and giant banners or ‘monster trucks’ (4×4 vehicles with high shock absorbers) screen printed with the face of the presumptive Republican candidate.

An impersonator of the former president also appeared in a luxury limousine, causing great furor among those who really thought it was Trump and those who were surprised by the great resemblance between the two.

On the other hand, protesters like Alexis ignored the endless anecdotes that were happening around them and remained very serious considering that the trial for the Stormy Daniels case was a process “rigged” in which the Democrats “They had to do everything they could to condition the polls” ahead of the November 5 elections.

“I don’t think they will be able to imprison him, but if this happens, there will be a Civil War“said Alexis, 30 years old.

Likewise, John, a member of the Gays for Trump group, acknowledged to EFE that he was “devastated” because “The streets are full of rapists, criminals and thieves, and the Democrats are cruel to Trump”.

Trump was found guilty yesterday unanimously of 34 crimes of document falsification to buy the silence of porn actress Stormy Daniels and thus corrupt the 2016 elections, in which he won over Hillary Clinton.
