Former President Donald Trump didn’t get a warm welcome as he returned to New York for the first time since leaving office: Just one person stood outside Trump Tower to cheer his arrival on Sunday night, the New York Post reported.
The Daily News said Trump is in his hometown to check on the family business, which had been run by his two adult sons while he was in the White House.
Footage from the scene posted on YouTube shows Trump waving from an SUV to the supporter amid a heavy police presence:

Some things are childish. They only appear adult when the other side is affected.
Look at Kamala Harris mammoth and overwhelming reception in her home town after landslide historic win. No one made fuss over it. Not when the 25th Ammendment is soon to be on the table.

WHITE HOUSE - The president of the United States, always accompanied by a military aide carrying a satchel containing nuclear launch codes, has sole authority to order nuclear warfare or respond in kind to such an enemy attack.
Now, lawmakers of the current president’s own party are asking President Joe Biden to surrender that unilateral power.
Giving one person such authority “entails real risks,” according to a letter endorsed by 31 Democratic members of the House. “Past presidents have threatened to attack other countries with nuclear weapons or exhibited behavior that causes other officials to express concerns about the president’s judgment.”
The letter, led by Representatives Jimmy Panetta and Ted Lieu, both from California, calls for officials, such as the vice president and speaker of the House, to concur with a launch order before it can be issued.
