Donald Trump’s Manhattan “hush money” trial has been the place for prominent Republicans to see and be seen in recent days — with some hoping the 45th president will remember their loyalty if he gets elected the 47th president this fall, sources tell The Post.
On Tuesday, Trump was flanked by former 2024 primary rivals Vivek Ramaswamy and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, as well as House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and a pair of Florida GOP congressmen, Byron Donalds and Cory Mills.
Other boldface political names to swing by Manhattan Criminal Court include Sens. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), and Rick Scott (R-Fla.) as well as Staten Island Rep. Nicole Malliotakis.
“It is about paying homage to Trump and positioning themselves for something should he win in November,” one person close to the Republican National Committee said Tuesday

Paying homage?? How about defending Jack Smith’s crooked investigations as an appetizer?
Defunding- not defending. Damn autospell
Hey Rubes - we’ll do nothing about open borders, deep-state censorship, bloated debt, out-of-control government spending, permanent global war - but we WILL show up at Trump’s trial.
So please still support us!
Indeed. I’ve actually thought about going to NYC to go to this circus to show support.
All but one of those names is Swamp.
Has General Flynn showed up?
Perhaps they want to observe how this will be used against them next.
This is just the beginning. TPTB will not be challenged.
Trash that courtroom
“ Hey Rubes - we’ll do nothing about open borders, deep-state censorship, bloated debt, out-of-control government spending, permanent global war - but we WILL show up at Trump’s trial.
So please still support us!”
That sounds very accurate to my cynical side!
I’ve contacted my rep about why he’s not there. He replied that he’s “monitoring” the situation. Not good enough Andy Harris
No @sshole it’s support for him…
The way I see it. This scheme of “fixing” was a creation of Cohen. I suggest that Trump knew little until Cohen was over his head. Then Cohen asked to be paid off. It looks like he expected a one time check of almost half a mil. I think Trump said...”that’s not gonna happen”. And so there were 12 checks for $35,000. In other words...Cohen wasn’t going to be able to launder his “take”.
Hush money isn’t illegal of it were everybody in D.C. would be in prison.
Now bribes your talking illegal Biden crime family poses for photo.
andy harris is a one trick pony...
Yep. But I still voted for him today.
Trump is handed lemons so he makes lemonade. He’s dominating the news cycle. Genius.
It was laundered by the multiple payments categorized as a retainer. The aggregate amount included his tax liability in the mortgage he took out, and a bonus.
“and positioning themselves for something should he win in November,”
That was a back handed dig. Bad journalism.
I hope they are their to support him against a Soviet kangaroo court.
But then again, some are that shallow. If Trump doesn’t dole out positions for them will they attack him like Christie, Romney and Cheney?
