New York City – Former President Trump, who is facing a 34-count indictment for alleged hush money payments during the 2016 election, has compared himself to the Beatles, claiming that his recent appearance at a Manhattan courthouse had fans crying all over the place.
Trump made the comments during an interview with a right-wing news outlet, in which he boasted about his popularity and the supposed adoration of his supporters. “It was like Beatlemania all over again,” Trump exclaimed. “People were just crying tears of joy at the sight of me.”
Trump went on to describe how the court employees and police officers present during his arraignment were overcome with emotion. “They were just overwhelmed with love and admiration for me,” he said. “They kept saying, ‘We love you, Trump!’ and ‘You’re the best, Trump!’ It was really something to see.”
Trump’s claims of adoration and popularity have been met with skepticism by many, who point out that his approval ratings during his presidency were historically low. Some have even suggested that Trump’s alleged crimes and unpopularity might be the real reasons for the tears in the courtroom.
“It’s possible that people were crying, but not necessarily because they were overjoyed to see Trump,” said one legal expert. “It could just as easily be because they were witnessing the downfall of a corrupt and dishonest politician.”
Trump has also faced criticism for his comparisons to the Beatles, with some arguing that such comparisons are absurd and disrespectful to the legacy of the iconic band. “Trump is no Beatles,” said one music critic. “He’s more like a one-hit wonder who’s trying to milk his 15 minutes of fame for all it’s worth.”
Surprising nobody, not a single photo was captured with people crying inside the courtroom, Lindsey Graham on the other hand, was caught crying as he was pleading for donations for the former president.
