This probably wasn’t the welcome Donald Trump dreamed of ahead of his first trip home after leaving office.
According to the New York Post, the former president pulled up outside Trump Tower in New York City on Sunday night—and waved to the one solitary supporter who came out to welcome him back.
A video posted on YouTube showed the fan screaming “Welcome back to New York!” and “President Trump, what’s up bro?” as the motorcade came to a halt.
It’s not known what the purpose of Trump’s trip to NYC is.
The ex-president changed his primary residence to Florida in 2019 and he’s been holed up at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach ever since he left the White House in disgrace in January.
The Manhattan District Attorney, Cyrus Vance Jr., and the State Attorney General, Letitia James, are both investigating Trump’s financial affairs.
Former President Trump had pulled up to the Midtown skyscraper where he stays while in Manhattan just before 9 p.m seated in the backseat of a black SUV. He then waved to a lone supporter who was across the street next to the media.
The NYPD last month began removing some of the barriers in front of Trump Tower, which were erected four years ago when Trump entered the White House.
Born in Queens, Trump, who became a real estate developer in Manhattan, switched his legal residency to his Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago, in October 2019.
