NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump said in a social media post that he expects to be arrested Tuesday as a New York prosecutor is eyeing charges in a case examining hush money paid to women who alleged sexual encounters with the former president. Trump provided no evidence that suggested he was directly informed of a pending arrest and did not say how he knew of such plans.

But in a Saturday morning message on his Truth Social network, Trump noted “illegal leaks” from the Manhattan district attorney’s office that he said indicate “THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK.”

Danielle Filson of the district attorney’s office said prosecutors “will decline to confirm or comment” on questions pertaining to Trump’s post, as well as potential charges. A Trump spokesman did not immediately respond to calls for comment.

1. Seriously??? I cannot wait for that mug shot.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. Donald J. Trump is calling for protests. Rather like his calls around J6

[LiberalFighter]

7. I wonder law enforcement will have different response than the Capitol Police to insurrectionists?

[Raven123]

17. For goodness sake, let's hope so

[AngryOldDem]

21. IMO, they put down any violence IMMEDIATELY.

By any means necessary. Jan. 6 cannot be allowed to repeat.

If Trump urges his base to act up, slap on an incitement charge. The more the merrier.

This is how the system works, whether that asshole likes it or not.

[Captain Zero]

44. Law and Order ! Jail Trump NOW !

He is a reckless criminal.

[paleotn]

20. Fortunately, he doesn't wield the same kind of "magic" he once did.

There will be a few crazies that need watching, but nothing on the level of J6. He's not in the White House anymore ready to pardon them if they succeed or cut them lose to face the music alone if they fail.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

26. Precisely. Ofc the panic porn/the sky will fall folks will be amplified. No matter tho.

Reality almost always puts those folks in the dust, panic forgotten.

J6 Coup was months if not years in the detailed if clumsy planning, this just sounds like panic on the other side.

And this panic is real.

[PatSeg]

47. Yes, the momentum

of the insurrection has diminished considerably. It is hard to sustain such a fervor for years and meanwhile, people go on with their lives or in some cases, go to prison. Trump is not the god he thinks he is.

[Mr. Ected]

3. My first reaction was a flash of inner glee that's been bottled up for YEARS

My next thought was that he made this announcement to give his MAGA slugs a few days to prepare. They say they want war against us. And so it begins.

[3Hotdogs]

5. D.U. posts, yesterday, indicate that cops are prepared to address Magaloon bullshit.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

27. There will be media war, nothing else. A few nut jobs go over the cliff, caught also by the

Long Arm of the Law. Love Law!!

[3Hotdogs]

4. What time do I gotta get my ass out'a bed to get to Foley Square to see him

enter the courthouse?


Or should I just bring a sleeping bag and camp on the sidewalk?

[electric_blue68]

13. Baaaahahahaaaaaaaaaa! 👏😂 Was in that area off & on during temp jobs near that area earlier in my

life.

Even if it isn't Willis, or Garland/Smith yet.

[CTyankee]

57. I'm getting up early, making my coffee, ready for the action to begin...

[AZLD4Candidate]

6. Won't believe it until I see a mug shot.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

28. Hanging on to the pessimism until the bitter end?

[AZLD4Candidate]

45. Yes. I don't want to be let down. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

24. Hey, he finally admitted something

He's the "former" president

[Celerity]

50. piece of hogshit will point to that in his multiple trials, as if it somehow clears his porcine arse

Trump says he’ll be arrested Tuesday as DA eyes charges

NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump said in a social media post that he will be arrested Tuesday as a New York prosecutor is eyeing charges in a case examining hush money paid to women who alleged sexual encounters with the former president.

Trump said in a post on his Truth Social network early Saturday that “illegal leaks” from the Manhattan district attorney’s office indicate that “THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK.”

Trump urged his followers to protest.

Law enforcement officials in New York have been making security preparations for the possibility that Trump could be indicted.

12. Holy Shit, it's finally come. He's going to try to take it all down with him.

[BumRushDaShow]

14. It's breaking all over now

This OP is going to be locked if the OP doesn't come back and stick some link in there...

[JPPaverage]

11. The problem is that trump posted it

And he's a known liar. But the last line of the post is disturbing. I hope that if anything does happen on Tuesday, the NYC cops are ordered " Shoot to kill", If the terrorists pull guns on the cops, the cops should defend themselves.

[BumRushDaShow]

15. This is where the media gets used to his advantage

[Alexander Of Assyria]

29. Panic porn, nothing of the sort will happen. The Clownshow is over.

[yardwork]

16. If he announced it, it's probably a lie.

This is probably a trick to confuse his followers.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

32. Lie about your own impending arrest! Trick followers into....???

[yardwork]

43. If he isn't arrested on Tuesday, he can say that their protests worked.

There don't have to be any real protests. He can tell his followers there were protests and others will amplify that lie. (Half the country still thinks that "Democrat cities burned to the ground" during BLM protests. I have relatives who literally believe this, because they "saw" it on Fox News.)

So, having created the fiction that there were protests, and those protests kept him from being arrested, Trump emboldens people to do more. Take back your country! You can do it! It's the same strategy he used on January 6. He'll keep doing it until it works or he's gone.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

51. If You Do Protest? We Will Still Arrest! The Law is Deaf to Protest. Blind to Bias.

[Trueblue Texan]

18. Don't tease me! nt

[yaesu]

19. The source seems to be tRump himself, I think I will disregard the news

There may be indictments next week but think he's just going off the deep end, sniffing to much Adderall.

[yaesu]

22. Don't echo his violent crap like it's news, MSM needs to ignore the turd, not help him

Commit another crime.

[C_U_L8R]

23. Law enforcement is watching and listening.

If magats try any shit, they'll go right back to prison. And Trump won't help them, again. Such idiots.

[Diraven]

25. Even if he is

His lawyers will probably post bail before he even sets foot in court. And actual trial will probably be years from now.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

33. Past pessimism...nothing will happen...something happens......future...nothing will happen!

Yikes!

[Marthe48]

30. Hope they surprise traitor on Monday

Or today. Or tomorrow. But don't disappoint us by not going ahead with arresting him and all of his henchmen

[Seinan Sensei]

31. I would gladly arrest you Tuesday for an indictment today

[dalton99a]

34. If it doesn't happen on Tuesday: "Fake News Witch Hunt Doesn't Have Any Evidence. I Am INNOCENT!!!"

[Bengus81]

35. No such thing as a peaceful MAGOT rally,it will never happen

Cops and Natl Guard need to show up with water cannons,I'd love to see those fucks blown down the street a few hundred feet.

[Paper Roses]

36. Trump announced? If this happens, great BUT:

I bet this is a trump early warning system,. Get his troops ready for whatever comes.

I'll believe it when I turn on the news Tuesday. Somehow I find it hard to believe he would announce arrest without some motive for doing so.
I hope it is true. If it is, it is the first truthful thing out of his mouth.

[area51]

37. Unlikely. n/t

[AverageOldGuy]

38. Trump's rant will come back to haunt him . . . big time!!

Trump's Saturday morning rant is an invitation to his supporters to "Stand back and stand by" -- he is in essence calling for them to come to NYC on March 21 just as he called them to DC on Jan 6.

No judge is going to look kindly on this and I am hoping that the NY judge slaps his fat ass in Rikers for threatening violence. I also hope the NYC cops, NY NG, and federal marshals are alerted, have been issued lots of arms and ammo, and have been told to take no shit. We need a lot more Ashley Babbitts.

[Traildogbob]

39. Let's see

How many House and senate repuQ’s will “call out, and condemn this demand for another insurrection, with weapons this time. Law and Order party. The Putin caucus with the howling monkeys and Tuckums with his two prime time tumors will be cheering it on ALL weekend.
We need to put these rapid terrorists down with force like they are Taliban on our soil. Hellish enough to create deterrence once and for all.
And take out the Cleric leader that will hide safely away to watch his masses slaughtered.

[Kid Berwyn]

40. Do it today.

Speed up the healing process.

[CaptainTruth]

41. Let's hope!

[mn9driver]

46. The best way to keep him from inciting violence:

Take him into custody. Do a standard body search. Take everything including his clothes and put it in a property box and lock it up. Then give him a private cell in the isolation section. Do not release him on bail since he is at risk of inciting violence.

The US needs to not f*ck around here. The asshole is a danger to the republic.

[Ford_Prefect]

48. I don't believe it. He's never told the truth. This is prep for street violence.

Speculative press has been predicting Monday.

[cloudbase]

49. So far, the only references in the news are to Trump's posting.

No independent confirmation yet. NY Times and WaPo not reporting at all as of this posting.

[kimbutgar]

52. But I am disgusted he is having a rally in Waco Texas today,

One of the biggest anti government events lead by a cult leader David Koresh.

It appears he’s signaling his supporters to try to overthrow the government again. He should be arrested immediately when he tells his supporters today to rise up. Because he knows he is cornered now and facing consequences. I hope he can be stopped.

[Marthe48]

53. Keep a good eye on our heroes

Everyone from Ms. Clinton, to Pete. And their families, freinds, coworkers, staff and supporters.

Although I think that the traitor base are unfit Americans, there are some that might get off their lard bucket and cause trouble

[dchill]

54. Will be wild!

[Ray Bruns]

55. That far away, huh.

[andym]

58. Be prepared for the new martyr Trump campaign from him

Probably would increase his popularity among the MAGAs.

[JudyM]

59. Locking
