Ahead of another testimony in a hush money trial in New York, former US President Donald Trump met with union workers on a construction site on Thursday morning and was greeted with the chants of “USA, USA”.
Trump signed MAGA hats as his attorneys are making their way to the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., hoping to convince the nine justices that their client is not subject to prosecution.
Trump’s meeting with union workers came after his rival US President Joe Biden received the endorsement of the Building Trades Union of North America. The POTIS made fun of Trump’s “bleached” hair and implied that he should be punched in 2024.
