Astonishing and at the same time a very scary and worrisome announcement
from Trump seen here
from BUSINESS INSIDER with this headline:
“It's time – Trump calls
on supporters to ‘protest and take our nation back’ in an ominous echo of
January 6 riot”
· Trump issued a siren call for his supporters to “protest
and take our nation back.”
· He made the call after claiming without evidence
that he will be arrested March 21.
· His lawyers and advisors said they have no
knowledge of an impending arrest.
Trump called on his backers to “protest and take our nation back”
in an all-caps Truth Social post Saturday in which he predicted his own arrest,
despite a lack of evidence he has been charged in an ongoing case before
a NY Grand Jury.
Citing “illegal
leaks,” Trump wrote on his TRUTH Social page that he will be arrested onTuesday (March 21) saying: “PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK. IT'S TIME!!!
WE JUST CAN'T ALLOW THIS ANYMORE. THEY'RE KILLING OUR
NATION AS WE SIT BACK & WATCH. WE MUST SAVE AMERICA! PROTEST, PROTEST,
PROTEST!!!”
Trump's extreme rhetoric is reminiscent of his infamous December 2020 tweet telling followers to converge on the Capitol on January 6 to stop Congress from certifying Joe Biden's election victory, tweeting: “Be there, will be wild!”
* I NOTE: Trump lawyers and advisors said they have no indication that the former president will be arrested on the date that he cited.
* I ADD: So, if there is any leak it’s from his own TRUTH Social post.
Trump lawyer Susan
Necheles told Insider: “President Trump is basing this on press reports. This
is a political prosecution and the DA leaks things to the press instead of
communicating to us.”
A Trump spokesperson also said in a separate statement that the Manhattan DA’s office has given “no notification” of an impending arrest.
That person added: “President Trump will be in Waco, Texas next
weekend for a giant rally.”
I ALSO NOTE: Waco, TX is his pick for a rally location at this time.
Remember the Waco siege that
ended a horrible 51-day event on April 19, 1993. Now Trump chooses Waco for his rally. That location and timing is not by accident I assure you.
On top of all of this,
his staunch MAGA and other GOP supporters still stand by him – for example:
Rep. Marjorie Taylor
Greene (R-GA), the far-right firebrand and one of Trump's most stalwart
loyalists, said in a tweet following
Trump's statement: “The GOP base has had enough of Republicans that won't
stand up for the people and against the Democrats war against Trump, his admin,
his supporters, and traditional values.”
House Speaker Rep. Kevin
McCarthy (R-CA) threatened the Manhattan DA's office with House investigations,
tweeting: “Here we go again — an outrageous abuse of power by a radical DA
who lets violent criminals walk as he pursues political vengeance against
President Trump. I'm directing relevant committees to immediately investigate
if federal funds are being used to subvert our democracy by interfering in
elections with politically motivated prosecutions.”
Trump’s son, Donald Jr., wrote in a message and accompanied by a foreboding image falsely claiming
that if his father was indicted, it would mean the government would target
individual freedoms next saying: “If they can take him out they're one step
closer to taking you and your freedoms out… and apparently that's been the plan
all along.”
Hardcore and
outrageous Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) said: “The impending indictment is based on an untested,
tortured legal theory and it should be seen for the partisan pathetic ploy it
is.”
Ultra right-wing
commentator Dan Bongino said live on FOX: “The police state is here. It's
a story right out of North Korea.”
Liz Harrington, a
Trump spokesperson, called the charges “Phony" saying in a Telegram post:
“Only failing third world nations try to arrest the political opposition on
phony charges. Evil people are trying to destroy America, but they will not
win!”
My 2 Cents: Talk about insurrection
and January 6 phase II – this is it.
If Trump is indicted and
appears in court as he says, then based on this story and the crap from him and
others that would trigger insurrection II.
If that is he aim, then I hope the Judge slaps him behind bars with no bail.
I say that because Trump is now more than ever a direct threat to peace and stability and he is a “Clear and present danger” while inciting a revolution of sorts, or at least a second attempted coup d'état to get back in office, possibly for life, or so it seems so.
Stay tuned – this might
get bloody and downright horrible.
Thanks for stopping by.
