At 76, Donald Trump, candidate for the presidential election of 2024, is summoned before the judge at 14:15 (18:15 GMT) to be notified of the charges against him in the case of payment to a star of the X in exchange for his silence. Glued to the barriers, they are about twenty to shake American flags while waiting for Donald Trump. "We love Trump, we love Trump," they chant outside Trump Tower.

"I think he was sent by God"

On his denim jacket, Andrew sewed a dozen patches with the effigy of the former American president. For him, the arrival of Donald Trump in New York is a divine sign. "It's Holy Week right now. This is ironic because it was at this time that Jesus returned to Jerusalem knowing full well that he would be persecuted and crucified when he arrived. And now Donald Trump is back in New York! I think he was sent by God to save the United States and the whole world," he told Europe 1.

Hundreds of fans from all over the country

While a speaker plays tracks by conspiracy rappers, Dany readjusts his cap where he had "Trump 2024" embroidered. He explains that he does not believe in a trial. "Donald Trump will never go to court. They just want a picture of him as an average defendant and a ban on speaking. They will drag, drag, and drag again so that he is not re-elected in 2024," he said.

Dany promises, just now, they will be hundreds of fans from all over the country, gathered in front of the court, to support their idol.
