Trump predicts imminent arrest, calls for protests
The former president and 2024 GOP candidate urged his supporters to “take our nation back” over unprecedented potential criminal charge.
The rhetoric is similar to his remarks on Jan. 6, 2021, when he urged supporters to “fight like hell” to prevent Joe Biden from taking office.
“If you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore,” Trump said at the time, before thousands of supporters marched to the Capitol and stormed the building, endangering Congress and the transfer of power. In a later post Saturday, Trump said, “It’s time! ... We just can’t allow this anymore.”
@vivify saidI’d be surprised if any of his supporters protested, considering he didn’t lift a finger to help non-violent protestors at the Capitol on Jan. 6 who got arrested. Didn’t pardon them, didn’t help pay their legal bills (to my knowledge.)

@plantermoo saidHe did say he would issue pardons if re-elected.

@suzianne saidHi Sue. Please tell us about the free stuff dems promise if you re-elect them. Repubs not into free stuff, which is how I know you dependents will win in the end. I bet you can squeeze another month of paid vacation.
Hell of a price to pay.
First thing I think of when Shav brags about all his time off? He can never get rich!! Rich is cool. So sorry.

@vivify saidHe called for protest, which I believe is still legal in the US, in NZ the cops are likely to stomp you, but the US has this thing called the constitution and they need to hang on to what's left of it.

The brown shirts came a runnin’.
However, they traded their shirts in for trailer attire and shaman cosplay.
Recording everything on their own phones as well.
Luckily the extreme right aren’t known for being very streetwise. Or smart.

@wajoma saidThe right peaceably to assemble does not cover showing up with weapons or storming a building or disrupting a government procedure (such as certification of an election result). Nor would it cover hindering law enforcement agents from serving a summons or carrying out an arrest warrant.

@moonbus saidNot does it include carrying guns. Or any other kind of weapon.

@averagejoe1 saidWell unless you count the tax breaks and bonfires of health and safety regulations that make corporations more profitable whilst putting the ordinary mugs poorer and in more peril.

@wajoma saidWhy are you pretending to not get the trepidation associated with Trump calling on a mob to protest and take “our” country back given what happened the last time he did it?

He’s being indicted for a misdemeanour 🤷🏻♂️
I take it ex goobermint leaders not being held accountable for wrong doings in the courts is in perfect sync with your anti elitist anti goobermint stance?

@kevcvs57 saidHe just want the attention so he can milk this for all it is worth. It is not as though he is going to be stuck in jail. He can afford to be bonded out.

Expect a small fine compared to what Obama had to shell out. I wonder who Trump had to bribe to get arrested. This is one of the best things to ever happen to him. Free media attention. Trump must be on cloud 9

Way back Trump wrote a book that told everyone exactly what he's doing, courting controversy, as you say, free publicity. kev, suzi and sonhouse suck it up so badly one has to fight the urge to think of them as double agents trying to help Trump get elected.
