By The FirstDonald Trump departed Mar-a-Lago, Florida Monday afternoon for New York City where he will be arraigned within the next 24 hours for alleged “hush money” payments to a former adult actress.
“Control yourselves,” the Mayor told reporters before Trump’s arrival. “New York City is our home, not a playground for your misplaced anger. We are the safest large city in America because we respect the rule of law in New York City. And although we have no specific threats, people like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is known to spread misinformation and hate speech, says she’s coming totown. While you in town be on your best behavior. As always, we will not allow violence or vandalism of any kind. And if one is caught participating in any act of violence, they will be arrested and held accountable no matter who you are.”
“As the mayor stated, there are no credible or specific threats to New York City at this time,” added the NYPD Commissioner. “New Yorkers may see an increased police presence in parts of the city and should anticipate intermittent road closures over the next few days, particularly in Manhattan. To avoid delays, I to urge everyone to use mass transit when possible.”
“Our job is to facilitate and safeguard the rights of people to express themselves and those going about their daily activities,” the police commissioner added. “But I will remind everyone that violence and destruction are not part of legitimate, lawful expression, and it will never be tolerated in our city. But people we serve know this just as they know that the NYPD will be out there today, tomorrow, and every day to make sure that they are safe.”
