Donald Trump’s motorcade today left Florida for New York, where the former US president is due to appear in court on Tuesday to face charges.

Trump supporters gathered on the street. “It is an insult […] Donald Trump will be our next president,” some of them shouted, AFP reported.

New York Mayor Eric Adams, a former police officer, today warned of “riots” that could happen in his city tomorrow. “Our message is clear and simple: refrain,” the mayor said at a press conference he held with Police Chief Kitsad Sewell.

Since last Friday, all 55,000 New York City police officers have been put on alert ahead of Trump’s arrival. Metal fences were erected around Trump Tower, and the streets around the Manhattan courthouse were blocked off.

However, a little earlier, the White House assured that there were no “specific threats” in connection with the appearance of Trump in court.

Republican Marjorie Taylor Green tweeted yesterday inviting supporters of her party to gather with her outside the courthouse, saying “They’re not targeting President Trump, they’re targeting us, he’s just in the middle.”

According to Site Intelligence Group, some social media users called for the execution of New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and members of the grand jury that ruled in the Trump case should be charged.

Trump will appear in court at 2:15 pm New York time (9:15 pm Greek time) and then return to his residence in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, where he will deliver a statement at 8:15 pm local time ( 03:15). Wednesday Greek time).
