Donald Trump says he will be arrested Tuesday and is posting ALL CAPS about it

Donald Trump says he will be arrested Tuesday


Former President Donald Trump said he expects to be arrested Tuesday in Manhattan — and urged his followers to protest his looming indictment.

“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!,” he thundered in an all caps missive to his followers on Truth Social Saturday morning.

He slammed the “CORRUPT & HIGHLY POLITICAL MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE” in his post.

Trump again insisted he had committed no crime, and reminded his followers that Bragg’s campaign had been heavily financed by liberal billionaire George Soros.

I hope there's more than a misdemeanor.

I am interested to see the response by his followers to his call to action after so many said he used them on 1/6.

All the bank fraud, tax fraud, stormy Daniels. Etc this should be slam dunk RICO...

They consistently undervalued for taxes (a crime) and over valued for securing loans (another crime). They then committed fraud and campaign finance violations. Throw in the stuff from the civil case and charge Weisselberg's daughter who worked at the company with enough to put her in jail until she died too and both of them will sing.

First, they had Trump university and Trump charity nailed/shut down with reprimands & fines.
Then all the stuff AG James turned up and is still coming after him/them for?
Trump CFO Weisselberg pleading guilty to 15 crimes of tax evasion/fraud - stuff like that.
Trump & Eric both taking the 5th more than 400 times during their deposition?
Trump org convicted of tax/fraud-like crimes by Bragg?
Reports law enforcement were leaning on CFO Weisselberg while he is in Rikers for lying?
Reports about money laundering with Russian money approved by Don Jr?
Reports of insurance and bank fraud?

So there's nothing about any of that and it is just about Stormy?

Not very likely in my opinion when you're going after a past President of the US.

Stormy is very useful - as the Lewinsky factor.
Which were most Americans interested in:
whether Bill & Hillary made a few bucks off Whitewater or whether Bill got a blowjob in the Oval Office?
Monica blew the news ratings through the roof ...

She takes down the company, Bragg takes down the owners.

Arrested and convicted are two vastly different chapters in this story, but just calling him an Accused Felon would make my day.

I heard someone predict that Trump would break the news of his arrest well before it happened in order to stir things up

On the money!

He wants the publicity; he wants another knockdown uproar. He's encouraging chaos with all the typical red meat he's throwing out to his frenzied supporters:

The whole America First posturing (Take Our Nation Back), the martyr facing his enemies (Bragg and Soros) and, of course, the projection of a 'corrupt and highly political' act.

A small, frightened man struggling, thrashing in his own darkness.

Showtime, Scene 1.
