Trump Ominously Invokes Violence on Truth Social Over Impending Indictment From Manhattan DA - TPM – Talking Points Memo

In a late-night social media post, Donald Trump mused that “potential death and destruction” could ensue if he’s indicted by a Manhattan grand jury for a hush-money payment to Stormy Daniels.

There is fear and a sense of the weakening of control.

But prosecutors using it to request arrest and deny bail at indictment could be interesting.

Interestingly, this is exactly the kind of post I would put on social media were I a target in a criminal investigation and I wanted to be denied bail. pic.twitter.com/yy79EcCHbs

I doubt it. After 1000 folks going to jail for Jan 6 bullshit I don’t see anyone wanting a second shot at 3 to 5. Trump’s fading and he knows it. Take all the investigations away and he still fades. Right now he’s just media fodder. Folks make bucks talking about him.

He’ll win the GOP nomination but not by 50% or more.
He’ll lose big time in the general election.

Unless he dies first.

Take this before the grand jury and add terroristic threats to the charges.

Stochastic terrorism.

Sorry Margie. If he wanted peaceful protests, he’d be calling for peaceful protests. Instead he calls for protests and predicts they will be violent. This is the same thing he called for in 2020, and I’m pretty sure he’ll be disappointed if none of his minions go to jail fighting for him.

Which would be fine by me.

The brave and so manly donald exhorts others to commit acts of violence and terrorism is his name. Hey, don, they’re just not that into you anymore.

But keep it up, loserman, I’m sure you can still squeeze a nickel or two from the most deluded of your diminished flock.

Sadly, all it takes is ONE true believer with a weapon to hurt people associated with DA Bragg’s office. That’s my biggest fear.

Rump long ago forced me to quit asking how dadgum stupid can people be. The Waste Of Carbon lies even when the truth would be less unfavorable.

New York can’t just drive down to Florida, waltz into Mal-a-Largo and arrest Waste Of Carbon. WOC still gets due process of an arrest warrant and cooperation to be worked out with the Palm Beach Police, etc.

Which cooperation is far from guaranteed with that lying sack of DeSantis in the Gov. Mansion.

The rhetoric will soon reach the point where spinning it (in the event that he can campaign for POTUS) will be quite difficult.

In the meantime, there will be other indictments and other legal matters to handle.

Right now, the GOP and the Right know that Trump is who he is…and are using him to enact voter suppression mechanisms across the country
