"Impeaching me would be dangerous." An idle threat? The taste of things to come? [View all]

"The impeachment hoax is a continuation of the greatest and most vicious witch hunt in the history of our country, and is causing tremendous anger and division and pain, far greater than most people will ever understand, which is very dangerous for the U.S.A., especially at this very tender time." 1.12.21

I don't know how any of his followers, even the most rabid, will be ale to breach the halls of state or national government this Sunday or next Wednesday, but I can envision Trump, even if barred from holding further federal office in the future, continually making threats like this for years with full knowledge some of them will encourage violent actions. The threats won't be specific enough to prove Trump encouraged any single event, but everyone will know what he's doing.

What is going to stop this? I have no idea.
