Certainly there's no way to know, but I don't think it's unreasonable to wonder if this damaged person would call for violence. He knows he has an "army" of manipulated rubes waiting for the word.
You're still playing last year's record.

Democrats are way ahead of you.

They already funded 8 months worth of riots.

Actual real riots that cost this country $4 billion in real money.

As distinct from the faux baloney about someone stealing a beer from Nan the alcoholic's cooler.
 
Well..a threat eh? Somehow I'm not worried...although I do want to re-up my popcorn supply! Trump's faction simply doesn't have the horses...and the Govt. is just aching to make an example or two.

Protests are cool...and speech, and non-violent civil disobedience. But violence will lead to a smashing..and rather than the spark to ignite a civil War..you will see a fizzle.

I note with interest that the threat is about Trump simply being indicted..not convicted or anything. Which is to say..Trump's position is that the law cannot even have the temerity to call him to account--never mind convict him. I believe that this is because Trump knows he is guilty and he knows that a trial would convict him. So for him, an indictment signals 'the end'.

I laughed at the obvious 'dog whistle' that the last sentence is~

Former President Donald Trump said Thursday the nation would face "problems ... the likes of which perhaps we’ve never seen" if he is indicted over his handling of classified documents after leaving office, an apparent suggestion that such a move by the Justice Department could spark violence from Trump's supporters.
“If a thing like that happened, I would have no prohibition against running,” former President Donald Trump said.
The former president said an indictment wouldn’t stop him from running for the White House again and repeatedly said Americans “would not stand” for his prosecution.
“If a thing like that happened, I would have no prohibition against running,” Trump said in an interview with conservative talk radio host Hugh Hewitt. “I think if it happened, I think you’d have problems in this country the likes of which perhaps we’ve never seen before. I don’t think the people of the United States would stand for it.”
Hewitt asked Trump what he meant by “problems.”
“I think they’d have big problems. Big problems. I just don’t think they’d stand for it. They will not sit still and stand for this ultimate of hoaxes,” Trump said.
It’s not the first time Republicans have hinted at potential civil unrest if the DOJ indicts Trump. Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham made headlines last month when he said there would be “riots in the street” if “there is a prosecution of Donald Trump for mishandling classified information.” Graham’s comments were slammed as “irresponsible” and “shameful.” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, without naming the South Carolina senator, said these comments from “extreme Republicans” were “dangerous.”
Hewitt appeared to see Trump’s comments as a nod toward potential unrest, asking the former president how he would respond when the “legacy media” accuses him of inciting violence.

“That’s not inciting. I’m just saying what my opinion is,” Trump said. “I don’t think the people of this country would stand for it.”
Trump could have avoided all this by arresting the leadership at all of the Intel Agencies and have the 51 “Hunters laptop is Russian Disinformation” signers face a military tribunals

It’s all Kabuki Theater

Trump will never be found guilty, he’s just playing the role assigned him. He’s guaranteed to lose again in 24 if Republicans are stupid enough to nominate him. And as we see Republicans just play along. They never do anything about the FBI Election Interference or the J6 Reichstag Fire

Trump's right. When the Democratic party weaponizes law enforcement to their partisan advantage, we have reached a whole new level of corruption, government overreach, and abuse of power. Hell, these people won't even tell Republicans on the intelligence committee what was in the classified docs. If we don't take back our country there will be no country left, just the Nazi government who jails all who disagree with them.

Trump was right. He's got problems like we've never seen.

The court of law is the perfect place to hash this all out.

If the DOJ has nothing and this is just a witch hunt then Trump will be legally cleared.

The alternative is of this to just keep being tired in the media day in and day out.

Let the legal system work it out.

You aren't supposed to weaponize law enforcement and then hash it out in the courts later on.

The same legal system that sat on Hunter's laptop and had the Intel Agencies call it "Russian disinformation" AND amend the laws in NY State so some crazy lady can sue the former President?

I still have faith in the courts and in the people sitting on juries, perhaps I am just naïve about it.

If this goes to trial it will be in South Florida. Seems Trump's lawyers should have a good pool of folks to choose from for the jury.
