Trump posts about his arrest, urges protest; NY DA Bragg reassures his employees of their safety




When it comes to inciting a violent riot, Donald Trump has priors. One need only look to the violence that erupted on January 6th, 2021, after Donald Trump posted, "Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!"

Now, Trump is at it again. He posted that he will be arrested on Tuesday in Manhattan and urges his supporter to come and "Protest. Take our nation back!"

This video explores the parallels between the two posts and uses an analogy to highlight why the federal authorities should act now, rather than leave this volatile matter to a local district attorney.

This video also looks at how New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg responded to Trump's post. - Glenn Kirschner - 03/19/2023.

Maybe a few hundred will turn out, but nobody's going to going to jail for Trump, this time around.

Have they really learned anything from watching hundreds of insurrectionists charged, tried, found guilty and locked up? The fact that he still has any "supporters" at all is not promising, but we have heard their numbers are dropping, so we can hope that enough of them have wised up.

This apprehension is dominating the news - again - so he's also reassuring.
