Donald Trump Calls for Protests Ahead of Potential Tuesday Arrest

[Bernardo de La Paz]

Source: Newsweek

Former President Donald Trump has called for protests and predicted that he will be arrested on Tuesday in relation to an investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.

"NOW ILLEGAL LEAKS FROM A CORRUPT & HIGHLY POLITICAL MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE, WHICH HAS ALLOWED NEW RECORDS TO BE SET IN VIOLENT CRIME & WHOSE LEADER IS FUNDED BY GEORGE SOROS, INDICATE THAT, WITH NO CRIME BEING ABLE TO BE PROVEN, & BASED ON AN OLD & FULLY DEBUNKED (BY NUMEROUS OTHER PROSECUTORS!) FAIRYTALE, THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!" Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on early Saturday morning, writing in all caps.

1. 2nd coup ....................

[MarineCombatEngineer]

5. You mean 2nd failed coup,

this time, law enforcement will be ready for the MAGAt's.

[PatSeg]

52. And I think the 'movement'

has lost a lot of its steam and Trump's patriots have gone on with their lives or have been arrested.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

71. I agree. nt

[onetexan]

91. Agree, the magats will no longer stick their necks out for the Con

[PatSeg]

94. Yes, there are very few people

that you can fool forever, especially while taking their money and making promises that you can't keep. Besides, there is always some other shining object over yonder and new episodes of "Below Deck". Trump has lost his entertainment value and we live in an age when we have so many choices.

[Warpy]

90. Not even that ambitious

It will be more like Elvis's fan clubs protesting his induction into the Army. I remember much wailing and gnashing of teeth.

This time, it's a fan club protesting an arrest over a misdemeanor that will result in a fine and probation if he's convicted. By the time he ever gets the big charges, they'll have run out of gas completely, outrage fatigue is definitely a thing.

[Swede]

2. POS that he is.

How can any thinking human have any sympathy or admiration for this waste of space?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

3. Willing to whip up violence for personal gain. Has a history of it. . . . nt

[gademocrat7]

4. Riots will be quelled.

Law enforcement will be prepared to deal with the violence that the orange menace has fomented.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. Yes. There is news (strong rumours?) LE is running drills, drawing up plans as we write. . . . nt

[Roy Rolling]

34. Unlike Jan 6

There is no specific target like the Capitol was on Jan 6. It’s a curious event unfolding, a useless riot called by a rebel without a clue.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

58. Was the rumour started here?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

63. No. . . . nt

[Alexander Of Assyria]

46. There won't be any riots..we have seen this script before, and it ends with a firecracker or two.

Media has always overplayed the tRump Power card.

[wnylib]

49. So the cops who are preparing for riots are overreacting?

[Alexander Of Assyria]

56. Not sure exactly how they reacting, not sure who they are, so can't estimate if overreacting.

Pass.

[wnylib]

59. Pass? More like sidestepping or gaslighting.

[stopdiggin]

65. Yes. -(nt)-

[wnylib]

68. Looks to me more like just doing their jobs.

[stopdiggin]

72. and not mutually exclusive

but I would have to see what kind of full scale 'prep' (exercises, planning, ops ..) are actually being done. This sounds more like 'management boilerplate' to me.

But I guess we'll find out ... (Or more likely, we won't .. because .. it'll amount to a big yawn.)

[The Jungle 1]

6. I doubt the police will be so polite this time!!!!

Republicans hate the police.

[rpannier]

8. NYPD hotbed of Republicans

[MarineCombatEngineer]

11. So you think the NYPD will just stand aside and let the MAGAt's

have their way?
Don't really see that happening at all, but we'll see.

[rpannier]

13. No

But the fairy tale that there is animosity between Republicans and the police is just that, a fairy tale

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. As may be, but there is intense animosity fr MAGAts at police of all kinds

Especially against FBI and DoJ, but also Capitol Police and police in "blue" cities and BATF and various other police too.

Basically, if police stand up to MAGAts, they are against the police.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

18. I think that once the MAGAt's attempt any violence,

it will be met with overwhelming force from the police and I would speculate that there will be federal law enforcement there also who definitely won't put up with the MAGAt's crap.

Just my opinion, we'll know soon enough.
Have a great weekend.

[Septua]

35. I have my doubts about a major uprising...

..taking place. Trump may think his 30% clan will come to his rescue but a 1000 arrests so far with more to come, of the Jan 6 crowd made an impression.

And as I type while listening to the Katie Phang show, Trump's call to 'take back the country' is deepening the hole he's already in.

[Septua]

37. And if his supporters haven't united to 'take back the nation'...

..before Tuesday, he may flee the country while he still has a passport. I don't believe he has the guts to accept accountability.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

47. I have my doubts, and I double your doubts...Panic Porn, again.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

73. I didn't say anything about a major uprising, but there may be

hardcore MAGAt's who may be under the impression that they can spark a civil war by trying to storm the courthouse with weapons, notice I say may, not will, but they will fail because law enforcement will be ready for them and will put it down quickly.

Basically, I agree with your post.
Have a great weekend and fasten your seatbelt for Tues., it's going to be a wild ride if the reports are accurate about Benedict Donald being arrested.

[NoMoreRepugs]

60. MCE - My first thought also - Federal authorities will be on hand.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

85. +100. nt

[Bernardo de La Paz]

23. Fairy tale?

Not on the FReak site:

Every NYPD (NKVD) officer should now have a target on them. When Truump wins, he should issue a statement that says “Sorry, we’re broke. There’s no law enforcement money left for the state of New York. None.”
29 posted on 3/18/2023, by nonliberal (Z.)

[MarineCombatEngineer]

24. Yeah, I believe that the NYPD will be heavily armed

and ready for any MAGAt's attempting to foment violence.

[Beastly Boy]

29. NYPD is a hotbed of HS grads on a high pay scale and excellent pension benefits.

That will beat their loyalty to Trump in any calculus. Few will be stupid enough to risk their well being for Trump.

[PaulnFortWorth]

53. Police Trend Toward Trumpism

It justifies their abuse toward minorities and the poor.

[halobeam]

96. but perhaps not more than want their job pay, benefits, pension.

At least that's what I think most resort to, how they will survive their actions. No?

[rpannier]

7. Sounds like little d desantis is working with the deep-state

That's what I'm telling il douche supporters I know
"Notice how as little d falls further behind trump in the polls, the arrest becomes imminent?"
"Notice how when Trump goes on the attack and really damages little-d he's going to be arrested? Hmmmmmm..."

[Ligyron]

9. They really going to show up and do this in NYC?

Hell, they'll be outnumbered by a flash mob of sane people, this ain't Mississippi. I'm sure the police are no doubt more than ready for any of any attempted take over of wherever Trump gets arrested at.

This is going to be the start of the festivities!

[Beastly Boy]

31. They will be outnumbered by the trans activists wearing lethal high heels alone.

[onetexan]

93. THIS!!☝️

12. AP story & Kyle Cheney tweet

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.

80. The master of the run on sentence!

From the beginning of this rant, and counting ampersands each as a word, King Deplorable managed 81 (eighty-one!) words from the first upper case letter to the first period.

Amazing!

He would not have made it out of third grade if my wife was his teacher.

[BigmanPigman]

95. He does one or the other...

either he makes gigantic run-ons or else he uses 4 word sentence fragments that are almost like a 3 year old's level of speaking.

[FakeNoose]

97. He might be indicted on Tuesday, but he won't be arrested then

There is a difference between being arrested and being indicted.

Besides, Chump and his lawyers have already negotiated his "peaceful surrender" - so he's planning to turn himself in. The show's over before it even got started.

[BigmanPigman]

98. That is what I am hearing on MSNBC now.

[Lasher]

14. Fomenting Insurrection

It's against the law. Charge him.

[mopinko]

17. this

add it to the pile.

[ancianita]

26. More like 'attempted obstruction of justice.'

[purr-rat beauty]

15. great, add Stochastic Terrorism to the list of charges

if a single magat lays a finger on another citizen or damages any state and federal property, charge trump for it as well.

he needs to be silenced once and for all.

[truthisfreedom]

19. Yawn.

And nobody showed.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

21. Like Nobody Showed on January 6 after the rump made a similar call?

[multigraincracker]

69. They are gone now, it'll be up to the

Booger Boys and the Archie Bunker Brigade.

[stopdiggin]

70. that's history

more recently .. 'calls for action' have produced approximately 6 or 7 guys, and two pickup trucks .. and are generally well outnumbered by media vans and cameramen.

(turns out these 'patriots' really hate being humiliated and laughed at .. )

But .. we'll see, won't we?

[riversedge]

I agree with Kyle--this pending arrest is all murky at this moment. And I think--tooooooo much speculation.

@kyledcheney
It’s unclear if he’s basing this on being informed or on some TV speculation. He cites “illegal leaks” for this expectation, so it’s a bit murky at the moment. But this call for people taking to the streets to “take our nation back” is straight from Jan. 6 playbook.

?s=20

[Bernardo de La Paz]

27. Thanks. I wonder though if there is a Ghouliani mole(s) left in NY leaking to the rump. . . . nt

[riversedge]

57. um.. yes. I had not thought of that. It is always a possibility.

[BumRushDaShow]

40. I actually think his lawyers were notified

where indictments are usually "sealed" from public review pending a judicial release (but obviously the defendant's lawyers would know either way). The "preparations" thing would be irrelevant except for something the media could use to speculate about but the fact that the unhinged tweet mentioned "leaks" and goes into a defensive, excuse-making CT rant actually suggests some truth to the matter and his usual ability to harness the media for sympathetic attention.

He supposedly only watched the RW loon media and I expect none of them were reporting on "preparations" although I refuse to have to don a biohazard suit to look at what was being said on OAN or Newsmax or Faux.

[Oneironaut]

106. He's grifting. His organizations put out fund raising money emails right after.

Whether or not he will be arrested is not really confirmed, but, Trump is doing his bilking of his dumb followers.

[Paper Roses]

108. I have the same thought. Money raising ploy. Bet there is nothing on Tuesday. n/t

[Politicub]

22. Incoherent, all-caps babbling from a lunatic

It’s basically unreadable, and will prompt his acolytes to use q-anon levels of parsing to divine the secret meaning.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

28. No secret meaning. They get it

They thought that the rallies were too big before, wait until after he is arrested. There will not be stadiums large enough. I don’t really believe that they have thought this through.

Damn, damn, damn.

[yaesu]

30. I remember when Newsweek used to be a reputable news source

Instead of a echo chamber for inciting violence.

[C_U_L8R]

32. He abandoned the magats on J6

And left them to fend for themselves in prison. No pardons. No help at all.
If magats had any sense at all, they'd return the favor.

Otherwise, they can go back to prison too.
Enough of this treasonous bullshit.

[IronLionZion]

33. Maybe they can add some charges for inciting violence

[Captain Zero]

36. Have a SWAT arrest him AT 6am Sunday

Since he has threatened violence for Tuesday. Hold him at an undisclosed location until his arraignment.

[llmart]

43. I don't think that would be fair.

After all, he'd probably be in church on Sunday and reading his bible (upside down).

(Do I really need to point out that this is sarcasm?)

[SKKY]

38. Here we go with this bullshit again...

...Arrest him on Monday.

[Oak2004]

92. But wait! Not enough time!

I propose his arrest be delayed by a few hours so I can restock on popcorn😂

[Bengus81]

39. Go for it MAGOTS,be there and be arrested--or shot

[Woodwizard]

41. What a ball of needy malignant hate, keep on digging that hole Donny.

[OneBro]

42. "FUNDED BY GEORGE SOROS"

The antisemitism is truly engrained in every fiber of his being.

On a side note: What do you call it when Putin and his puppet have arrest warrants? Tuesday

Goodnight everybody!

[electric_blue68]

87. I didn't get that "whistle" bc it's not something that "glares" out at me re Mr Soros.

[Martin Eden]

44. The LOUDER HE SHOUTS

The more GUILTY HE IS.

This vile criminal has escaped justice far too long.

I look forward to MORE SHOUTING.

[Turbineguy]

45. Serving time for trump

is a status symbol for hard-core MAGAts.

[paleotn]

48. Yea, whatever, Donnie. You're sooooo 2016.

[debm55]

50. Who are these people who want him back in office? Are they so nuts they want a nut as President? I

just don't get that the MAGAt are sane. He's a nothing, a former President who still thinks he has power. I am so sick of him and his group. My neighbor still has his tRump flag up. He's an asshole too.

[bucolic_frolic]

51. Fractured Fairy Tales had nothing on Trump

[Harker]

54. It must be tough work cramming so much bullshit into so few sentences.

I hyperventilate just reading them.

[Danmel]

55. Notice he said "former president " not rightful president

He knows it's all BS. Keep digging Donald, keep digging.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

67. It's hard for him to remember all his lies and that he must repeat them

If he won the 2020 election (he did not), then he can't be elected in 2024.

If he can run in 2024 it is because he was not elected in 2020.

[kimbutgar]

61. I hope the social media sites are being monitoring by the FBI and the military

[spike jones]

62. Tuesday is the first full day of Spring. Meet the Fascists in the streets with chants of,

“Lock him up! Lock him up!”

This is where we are.
“The Holocaust resulted neither from a confluence of circumstances beyond human control nor from history’s inexorable march. It happened because ordinary people failed to stop it.”

Meet them in the streets and stop it.

[Paper Roses]

64. What is this? trump is calling his troops?"

If true, this early announcement is a call to arms. Arrest this crook earlier and defeat the mob he is calling.
Good grief, I'm sick of this BS! (Meaning the orange terrorist). Get it over with NY, lock him up!

[H2O Man]

66. Recommended.

[twodogsbarking]

74. At this point if there is no indictment there may be protests.

[ZonkerHarris]

75. fuck that traitor

[JohnSJ]

76. The first comment from this story:

"There are 155 million registered voters, 35 million are registered republicans, polls indicate that 10 million of them are "forever trump". Only 6% of registered voters or 3% of the population love trump. This is a fact that should be presented more often in any new story regarding trump. He isn't popular in a good way, the vast majority of americans, republicans included do not care what happens to him and most want him to go away. We talk about him so much people simply think he's more popular then he really is and that's why his base is so loud"

If there is an attempted January 6 revolt on Tuesday, if trump is indicted, the FBI, and law enforcement better be ready in large numbers to do their job and arrest people immediately if any violence is attempted by the rioters.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

105. Trump has never won a popular vote (not Electoral College shenanigans), and never will. . . nt

[JohnSJ]

107. Excellent point

[OnlinePoker]

77. The perp-walk we've all dreamed about may finally come to pass

Trump's been wrong about so many things in the past, I hope this one time, he's actually right.

[Bayard]

78. If he's at Mar-a-logo now,

Can Florida refuse to give him up to NY? Of course, DeSantis would be glad to get rid of him.

[andym]

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

An arrest will only help his popularity among the MAGAs as he attempts to call them to action against his ""enemies." It also means his only possible "get out of jail free" card is to be elected President, so he will campaign with desperation.

[Kennah]

81. Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up!

[hamsterjill]

82. And that jerk should be held accountable for anything that happens

Because of this inciting, too. This is dangerous stuff and Trump knows it. He just doesn’t care if someone dies as long as it suits his purpose.

[Novara]

83. ARREST HIM ON MONDAY

Heh.

I doubt he'll get a huge protest turnout. These people know this isn't D.C. on Jan. 6 anymore. This is Biden's America now. And they know it.

Stock up on popcorn people!

[Johnny2X2X]

84. A reminder, Cohen

Michael Cohen was tried and convicted for this hush money already.

Criminal charge
5 counts of tax evasion
1 count of making false statements to a financial institution
1 count of willfully causing an unlawful corporate contribution
1 count of making an excessive campaign contribution at the request of a candidate or campaign
1 count of making false statements to a congressional committee
Penalty
3 years in federal prison; fines; asset forfeiture; disbarment

[bucolic_frolic]

86. Only reason to protest is what the hell took you so long

[chowder66]

88. This guys is such an idiot. Unless there are other more serious charges

this was going to be a very quiet process. No perp walk, just a simple arraignment and processing, then he would be released.
He would then be free to fight it but the judges most likely are prepared to keep everything moving at a good clip.

As mentioned on MSNBC this morning by Barb McQuade (I think); she said John Edwards was arraigned on something similar and basically beat it.

[chowder66]

89. Wouldn't it be great if the J6 people that weren't caught came out and got caught?!!

That would be a doozy!!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

100. They are warning themselves "it's a trap!"

From the American Thinker site, a very nutty one, but one that tries to avoid overt Q stuff:

Stay home, and let the lawyers handle it.

This is a set-up, just like January 6. Don't fall for it.

Don't go anywhere near a federal building, don't stand with groups of people you don't know, and don't send threatening emails.

Stay home, and let the lawyers deal with it. President Trump has good lawyers, he has great lawyers...he even has had Alan Dershowitz as a lawyer.

Trials are meant to be won, by rich people. President Trump is rich. Let him fight his battle. He has proven more than capable.

It's okay to be angry about things. And we are supposed to have the right to protest peacefully. However, they will sabotage that right. They will inject fake bad actors for the express purpose of charging you with a crime.

This will be an attempted Charlottesville and January 6 mass-arrest false flag operation.

The current meme (old, true sense of the word) going around reich wing circles is that Pelosi set up Jan6 as a trap for innocent protesters.

[chowder66]

101. That is a lot of crazy in one post.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

102. "Trump has great lawyers." That's why he loses. "Trump is rich." That's why he grifts magats. . . nt

[chowder66]

103. The delusions are incredible.

Rich people are meant to win trials. Wow.

[Chakaconcarne]

99. The J6 arrests that have happened so far will help quell protests to a certain extent...

They are the craziest and most apt to get more riled up.....

Perhaps that was part of the plan....

[twodogsbarking]

104. Arrest him on Monday.
