Trump attended the New York City Veterans Day parade and was greeted with loud chants of lock him up when he began to speak to the crowd.

Via the White House Pool Report as provided to PoliticusUSA:

As POTUS began to speak, a din arose from the west side of the park on 5th Avenue. As Trump’s voice boomed from loudspeakers, chants of “Lock him up” could be heard coming from the crowd.

Trump recognized World War II veterans in the audience. And he said this year’s parade specifically honors the Marines.

He also thanked officials in attendance at the top, including Mayor Bill de Blasio.

A lot of people are watching from windows and balconies of the towers that rise around the park.

The crowd also chanted for Trump’s conviction and removal from office:

Outside of a trip to Alabama, Trump has been booed and faced chants of lock him up anytime he shows his face in public. Trump has increased his public appearances as he appears to be trying to demonstrate his popularity. The plan is backfiring, because every time Trump shows up in front of a non-handpicked audience, or outside of a red state, the eagerness of a majority of Americans to get him out of office is confirmed.

The more Trump appears in public the more popular impeachment becomes.
