Trenton NJ, apparently the media is caught in another big lie , after weeks of non stop hyperbolic propaganda about supposed “pro-trump protests ” at the states capitol,  all is quiet .

A  heavy police presence guarded Trenton’s downtown , with state troopers wearing body shields stationed inside and outside of the Statehouse  with Department of Corrections buses parked nearby.

Police, community leaders and many others spent the last week or so preparing for possible protests, as the “FBI warned” of possible assaults on all state capitols nationwide.

Aside from law enforcement  a clueless  cadre of reporters and photographers assembled  to document the “planned protest”.

The fact is there was no plan by pro-Trump supporters  to march on capitol buildings nationwide, the whole thing was and is media hype. Anyone could have Googled it or looked it up on Facebook.
