Trump's demand for 'massive protests' if he's prosecuted is 'inviting mob action': conservative

Former President Donald Trump dedicated considerable time attacking the prosecutors looking at possible criminal behavior.

In a rant about the New York case, Trump said that there was a link between those probing him there and Hillary Clinton, who was previously the Democratic Senator for the state.

He then called the prosecutors "racist" and said claimed that if they do something that is illegal then he wants to see his supporters conduct massive protests in "D.C., New York and Atlanta."

After ranting about the prosecutors investigating him, Trump calls the prosecutors racist and says if they do anything illegal, he hopes there are massive protests in DC, New York, and Atlanta


Inciting the mob again. If any further evidence was needed that he is happy to use violent mobs to further his needs, not sure what they are. He has learnt nothing from Jan 6th, other than some racist wankers are willing to go to prison for him.

Inciting a riot, according to federal law, is defined as the acts of "organizing, promoting, encouraging, participating in a riot" and urging others to riot. ... In order to qualify as incitement, the speech must advocate violence, the rightness of violence, or the right to commit acts of violence.

You won't like it if I get angry!

Pick on me, and a lot of my friends will be very, very upset, and you won't like what happens next!

And it will be ALL YOUR FAULT!

I have to ask . . . is that age appropriate for a senior citizen ex-POTUS?

(Rhetorical question. TFG's physical and emotional age diverged a long time ago.)

again, in our crowded national theater. It wasn't acceptable in Calumet, MI at the beginning of the last century and there are more of us to burn now. Justice should move with caution, but it can't be burdened with cement shoes. I pray the justice deparment stops him before he kills again.

I wonder if he EVER just considers himself lucky that he's gotten away w/ SO MUCH thus far. He's NEVER been held accountable for anything and yet all he does is whine.

And say, "enough is enough" and publicly denounce TFG and call for arrests and charges.

Chances are pretty good that they won't.

Democrats will fail to influence the press enough to cover this development and and when called, MAGAts will flock to those cities like seagulls to a trawler.

Nothing good can come out of this.

No proof is required. Only election results with TFG as the declared winner are deemed legitimate, because no "Real American" would ever vote otherwise. This mantra is lapped up in MAGA world as gospel truth.
