NY – Trump supporters, who gathered Wednesday outside the New York City courtroom where the former president faces criminal charges, rallied in his support and criticized the “judicial lynching” they say he faces with the trial.
“I love Trump and I love what he did for me and for my people, black people, he really helped us,” a black New Yorker wearing a Trump hat told Fox News Digital. “What they’re doing now is really ridiculous, these court cases and everything they’re doing to him…they’re trying to stop the momentum of winning the election.”
“It’s not happening, man, we f**k with Trump, us blacks really f**k with Trump.”

The man went on to dismiss the idea that the Biden administration is defending “black America.”
“Biden is not for any black America,” the man continued. “I lost everything since Biden came in, I had a whole limousine business, I had a whole car business selling cars, buying and selling cars, all that went down the drain when Biden came in. I had to go now and sleep in the God “Damn car. I don’t get a free hotel like immigrants do.”

“We have to get them out of there,” the man, who identified himself as from New York, said of politicians who say “there is no place for Trump in New York.”
“They don’t do anything for us, AOC doesn’t do anything for us,” he added.
“This is a judicial lynching, he did nothing wrong,” a white man wearing a “Gays for Trump” T-shirt told Fox News Digital on Wednesday afternoon. “He will be declared innocent, even if he is not and the Democratic Marxist Party criticizes him, I will vote for him regardless of the result.”
Conservative activist and artist Scott LoBaido also spoke to Fox News Digital outside the courtroom and said the court is “humiliating not just Donald Trump” and “not just us,” but “the judicial system itself.”
“I’m here to return the favor and humiliate you,” LoBaido, who revealed a portrait he painted mocking actor Robert DeNiro, who was heavily criticized for attacking Trump outside the courtroom on Tuesday, told Fox News Digital.

“This guy is a crybaby, very spoiled, he doesn’t understand these people who can’t afford a dozen eggs, can’t pay for gas, who have illegal aliens rampaging through their neighborhoods, the crime, he’s protected, and for him to call us enemies of democracy?
Not everyone gathered outside the New York City courtroom had glowing things to say about the former president, including Dr. Robbi Warren, a self-described black “theologian” from Baltimore who told the House that Trump has “released a spirit of deception” and a “spirit of division.”
“I oppose evangelicals who have twisted Christianity. They want to take over Christianity,” Warren told Fox News Digital. “They preached against adultery. They preached against abuse of women, but because of Donald Trump that whole Bible went out the window.”
The jurors in the case received their final instructions Wednesday and were sent to deliberate Trump’s guilt on all 34 charges against him stemming from allegations that he improperly covered up a nondisclosure agreement with porn star Stormy Daniels. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges and dismissed the allegations as a political prosecution.
The jury returned home around 4:30 pm Wednesday and is scheduled to resume deliberations Thursday morning.
