A British woman and her partner were reportedly chased from a New York City park by a group of Donald Trump supporters protesting near his hush money trial.
The protesters, dressed in Trump gear and waving MAGA flags, shouted “f**k the Queen” and “f**k the King” as the couple walked through the park.
An apparently angry protester, when stopped by police, branded the woman a ‘f***ing c**t’ and told her to ‘burn in hell you liberal f**k’.
However, the English woman seemed rather unnerved by the altercation and told the media that they had come to the demonstration ‘purely for entertainment value’.
‘Aren’t they disgusting? What disgusting people,” she said, adding that they came to watch the commotion because they “enjoy watching Trump on TV.”
The chaotic confrontation comes as jurors in Trump’s trial begin their second day of deliberations after failing to reach a quick verdict.

The British woman was seen smiling and almost chuckling as the crowd surrounded her in the park and shouted profanities.
Her partner, seemingly less amused, led her away from the group.
“We were actually here just for the entertainment value,” the woman told the media as they walked away from the noisy protesters.
“We’re from England,” she added, as her partner said, “we have to keep going.”
The protesters continued to shout, telling the couple to “take your tea” and “get the hell out of my park.”
An angry protester, who called the woman a ‘c**t’, appeared to run after her but was stopped by a police officer who blocked her with his arm and said: ‘She’s leaving, just stop.’
The couple does not appear to have filed a formal complaint. An NYPD spokesperson told DailyMail.com that no report was available.

The demonstrators gathered in the park as jury deliberations in Trump’s criminal trial entered their second day on Thursday.
The panel deliberated for four and a half hours on Tuesday and sent two notes to the judge before being sent home.
They asked Judge Juan Merchan to read four parts of testimony from Michael Cohen and former National Enquirer David Pecker.
The former president is being held in court awaiting the verdict.
Trump struck a pessimistic tone as he left the courtroom Wednesday after reading the jury instructions, saying, “Mother Teresa could not beat these charges.”
When he returned to court Thursday, he called it a “sad day for America.”
At the heart of the allegations are refunds to Cohen for a $130,000 hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels in exchange for not disclosing her claim about a 2006 sexual encounter with Trump.
Prosecutors say the refunds were falsely recorded as “legal fees” to conceal the true nature of the transactions.
Trump faces 34 felony counts of falsifying company records, charges that carry a maximum penalty of four years in prison. He has denied any wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty.
To convict Trump, the jury would have to unanimously find that he made or induced someone else to make a fraudulent entry in his company’s records and that he acted with the intent to commit or conceal another crime.
Crime prosecutors say Trump committed or concealed a violation of a New York election law that makes it illegal for two or more conspirators “to unlawfully promote or hinder the election of any person to public office.” prevent’.
While the jurors must unanimously agree that something illegal was done to promote Trump’s election campaign, they do not have to unanimously agree on what that illegal thing was.
The jurors — a diverse cross-section of Manhattan residents and professional backgrounds — often seemed fascinated by testimony during the trial, including from Cohen and Daniels.
Many took notes and watched intently as witnesses answered questions from prosecutors and Trump’s lawyers.

Jurors began deliberating after a marathon day of closing arguments in which a prosecutor spoke for more than five hours, underscoring the burden the district attorney’s office faces in establishing Trump’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
The Trump team does not have to establish his innocence to avoid a conviction, but must instead rely on at least one juror ruling that prosecutors have not sufficiently proven their case.
In their first burst of communication with the court, jurors asked to repeat testimony from Cohen and former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker about an August 2015 meeting with Trump at Trump Tower, where the tabloid boss agreed to be the “eyes and ears” of his fledgling presidential campaign.
Pecker testified that the plan included identifying potentially damaging stories about Trump so they could be squashed before they were published. That, according to prosecutors, was the start of the catch-and-kill scheme at the heart of the case.
Jurors also want to hear Pecker’s account of a phone call he said he received from Trump, in which they discussed a rumor that another outlet had offered to buy former Playboy model Karen McDougal’s story that she had a yearslong affair in the mid-2000s had with Trump. Trump has denied the affair.
Pecker testified that Trump told him, “Karen is a nice girl,” and asked, “What do you think I should do?”
Pecker said he responded, “I think you should buy the story and take it off the market.” He added that Trump told him he doesn’t buy stories because they always come out and that Cohen would be in touch.
The publisher said he left the conversation assuming Trump knew the details of McDougal’s claims. Pecker said he believed the story was true and that it would have been embarrassing for Trump and his campaign if it had been made public.
The core of the complaint involves reimbursements to Cohen for a $130,000 hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels (pictured in a court sketch during her testimony on May 7, 2024) in exchange for not disclosing her claim about a 2006 sexual assault lawsuit. meeting with Trump
National Enquirer’s parent company, American Media Inc., ultimately paid McDougal $150,000 for the rights to her story in a deal that also included writing and other opportunities with the fitness magazine and other publications.
The fourth item jurors asked for is Pecker’s testimony about his decision in October 2016 to back out of an agreement to sell the rights to McDougal’s story to Trump through a company Cohen created for the transaction, known as a ‘transfer of rights’.
‘I called Michael Cohen and told him that the agreement, the assignment agreement, is not going through. I’m not moving forward. It’s a bad idea, and I want you to rip up the agreement,” Pecker testified. ‘He was very, very angry. Very upset. Actually yelling at me.”
Pecker testified that he repeated to Cohen that he was not going through with the agreement.
He said Cohen told him, “The boss is going to be very angry with you.”
