Former President Donald Trump was greeted with deafening cheers of “four more years” during his visit to Bodega in West Harlem, New York, on Thursday.
The former president has been instructed to attend every single day of his ongoing trial in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s dubious case.
Trump previously slammed the requirement as “election interference” as it infringed on his ability to campaign for the 2024 presidential election.
This week, Trump was in West Harlem bodega, the site of a notorious incident where a clerk wa charged with murder after an ex-con jumped over the counter and started to fight with him.
The clerk, a Dominican immigrant named Jose Alba, was charged with murder after stabbing the man in self-defense.
However, Bragg opted to file charges, though the attacker stabbed Alba.
The clerk was later sent to Riker’s Island, but charges were ultimately dropped after intense public backlash.
Following Trump’s court appearance, he stopped by the Sanaa Convenient Store in Harlem to meet with its co-owner, Maad Ahmed, and small business advocate Francisco Marte.
Trump was greeted by a large crowd who chanted “USA” and “four more years” as he stopped to shake hands and pose for pictures.

“The whole world is watching this New York legal system. This is really election interference, at the highest level,” Trump told reporters.
“It all comes out of Washington because they are losing badly in the polls.”
Trump also predicted that his poll numbers would rise even higher due to the trial.
If convicted in the New York case, Trump faces more than 100 years in prison.
“I think you’re gonna see some numbers coming out now even higher,” Trump said.
“People don’t like the persecution, they don’t like what’s going on.”
“They don’t like these fake prosecutors, deranged Jack Smith, the group of them,” he added.
“And I think you’re going to see some big changes being made.”
