The plane carrying former president Donald Trump lifts off at Palm Beach International Airport, Monday, April 3, 2023, in West Palm Beach, Fla. Trump is heading to New York for his expected booking and arraignment on charges arising from hush money payments during his 2016 campaign.(AP Photo/Rebecca Blackwell) Former President Donald Trump boarded his private plane Monday and flew from Florida toward New York ahead of his expected booking and arraignment, as the nationâs largest city bolstered security and warned potential agitators that it is ânot a playground for your misplaced anger.â Trumpâs ground journey from his Mar-a-Lago club to his red, white and blue Boeing 757, emblazoned with âTRUMPâ in gold letters was carried live on national television and took him past supporters waving banners and cheering the former president. Trump and his supporters criticize the case against him â stemming from hush money payments during his 2016 campaign âas politically motivated. The scene was quite different in New York, where Trump built a national profile in business and entertainment but became deeply unpopular as he moved into politics. Watch Trump’s arrival below or click here: His return to the city opens an unprecedented chapter in American history, with Trump being the first former president to face criminal charges even as he is in the midst of a third campaign for the White House. Itâs causing major legal, political and cultural events to collide in unprecedented ways. The former president planned to spend the night at Trump Tower, then surrender to authorities on Tuesday for booking and a likely afternoon arraignment. So far, officials have not seen an influx of people coming into the city, as was the case in Washington in the days before the Jan. 6,2021, insurrection. Still, authorities warned that possessing a weapon in certain areas of the city, including near courthouses, is a crime. âWhile there may be some rabble-rousers thinking about coming to our city tomorrow, our message is clear and simple: control yourselves,â said New York Mayor Eric Adams. âNew 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.â Trump Tower was open Monday, but authorities were planning to close nearby streets as Trump came and went, and additional security was also in the works. Theyâve taken steps to close and secure the courthouse floor where the former president is set to appear for an arraignment Tuesday afternoon. Trump supporters, including one of his staunchest defenders in Congress, Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, planned a rally in New York late Tuesday morning, probably before Trump would have to stand before a judge as part of the arraignment. Adams took the unusual step of calling out the congresswoman by name. âAlthough we have no specific threats, people like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is known to spread misinformation and hate speech, sheâs stated sheâs coming to town,â Adams said. âWhile youâre in town, be on your best behavior.â The former president and his aides were eagerly embracing the expected media circus. After initially being caught off guard by news of the indictment when it broke Thursday evening, Trump and his team are focused on using what they call a weak case against Trump to his advantage. More than 1,200 miles away in Florida, demonstrators supporting Trump began gathering before dawn at a West Palm Beach shopping center on the way to the airport, hours before he was set to pass along the route. Boca Raton firefighter Erik Solensten and his retired colleague, John Fischer, got an early start putting up banners. One was 30 by 6 feet (9 by 2 meters), picturing police officers and firefighters saying, âThanks for having our backs, President Trump.â âWe are fire rescue. We are prepared and donât like to wait for things to happen,â said Solensten, who took a vacation day to show support for Trump. âHe needs morale just like everyone else needs morale. Heâs done more for this country than any 10 presidents combined.â Trump is facing multiple charges of falsifying business records, including at least one felony offense, in the indictment handed down by a Manhattan grand jury last week. The investigation is scrutinizing six-figure payments made to porn actor Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal. Both say they had sexual encounters with the married Trump years before he got into politics. Trump denies having sexual liaisons with either woman and has denied any wrongdoing involving payments, arguing that the case against him is politically motivated. No former president has ever been indicted and trumpâs active campaign for the presidency during next yearâs election only further raises the political stakes. Trump spent the weekend golfing and meeting advisers but his campaign says it has raised more than $5 million since word of the indictment broke. One Trump fundraising email Monday carried the subject line, âTomorrow, I will be arrested.â Top Republicans, including some of Trumpâs potential rivals in next yearâs GOP presidential primary, have decried the case against him. President Joe Biden and leading Democrats have largely had little to say about it. Solensten said it is wrong that Trump is being charged with a crime stemming from an alleged tryst with a porn star long before he was in office. He said investigators should instead be looking at Bidenâs son, Hunter, and his business dealings, which committees in the Republican-controlled House have already begun examining. âTo me, those acts are treasonable,â Solensten said of the Bidens. âBut itâs a walk.â __ Weissert reported from Washington.
