Moore streamed his entire trip as he walked into the lobby and tried to take an elevator to Trump’s office and residence.

Along the way, Moore was stopped by supporters and thanked for his work. He also stopped to talk to Trump supporters who were eager to tell him how excited they were for a Trump presidency.

By the time he reached the fourth floor of the building, Moore was stopped by secret service. He decided to leave a note with a Trump Tower employee.

“Mr. Trump. I’m here. I want to talk to you,” Moore wrote.
