A Scottish woman on vacation. A retiree carrying a Trump puppet. A 22-year-old film producer. A former criminal defence attorney.

Hundreds of people travel miles and wait hours in the early morning for a chance to be in the Manhattan courtroom for the first-ever criminal trial of a former US president. 

Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty to falsifying business records in relation to a hush-money payment made to a porn star.

Both ardent critics and devoted fans of Mr Trump have gathered daily for the trial, now entering its fifth week. But despite their differences, nearly all provided the same reason for being there: to catch a glimpse of history.

How does a 22 year old jewish kid love Trump? Trump has a history of antisemitic comments and actions as well as being a big friend of white supremacists.

Some people really aren't thinking critically.
