Former US president Donald Trump has arrived in New York City after flying from Florida to face a historic booking and arraignment on hush money charges.

The nation’s largest city bolstered security and warned potential agitators it is “not a playground for your misplaced anger”.

Curtin University Political Analyst Joe Ciracusa has told Bill McDonald “this is a moment for television,”

“If Trump has a mug shot, that picture will be on two million t-shirts in 48 hours.” He said.
