Trump used his Tuesday appearance to make a political statement to his supporters and foes. Seated in his car, the former President sent out several messages on Truth Social, a social media platform that he founded a few years ago.
Heavy turnout
Ahead of Trump’s appearance at the federal courthouse, Police Chief Morales said he anticipated a 50,000-strong crowd. He also told reporters that the police would put barricades on all streets in downtown Miami.
However, there was no chaos during Trump’s visit to the courthouse.
In January 2021, thousands of Trump supporters had collected in front of the Capitol building in Washington. Many of those assembled believed that the November 2020 Presidential elections were unfair and rigged.
There was an insurrection at that point in time when scores of pro-Trump protesters entered the Capitol building and threatened the lawmakers.
