Breaking: Trump Will Be Arrested On Tuesday And He’s LOSING HIS ORANGE SHIT on Truth Social

Mar 18, 2023

Someone’s SKEEERED, so he’s mobilizing a violent public response.

He hit all the conspiratorial, civil war dog whistles too.

“Leading Republican Candidate is going to get arrested!!!” is Trump telling his base and every redneck with a gun he’s a political prisoner.

“Funded by George Soros” is a hat tip to Qanon meant to mobilize the Jesus Freaks and conspiracy theorists with guns who think George Soros is the Liberal Devil.

“Leftist Thugs” is a dog whistle to his brutal right thugs (Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, 3 Percenters, etc.) to take the fight to anyone who isn’t a Trump supporter.

“Stolen Presidential Election” in the face of the Fox News/Rupert Murdoch/Tucker Carlson/Sean Hannity’s admission the election was never stolen ON TOP of every level of government in his admin saying the same thing for three years means he’s pathetically desperate.

AXIOS: Former President Trump said in Truth Social posts Saturday morning he believes he will be arrested on Tuesday amid a Manhattan district attorney’s investigation into a hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels.

Why it matters: Trump would be the first sitting or former president in U.S. history to face criminal charges.

Driving the news: “The far [and] away leading Republican candidate [and] former president of the United States of America will be arrested on Tuesday of next week,” he wrote, citing “illegal leaks” from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.

  • “Protest, take our nation back!” he added.
  • In a separate post on Saturday morning, Trump said America is “now third world” and “dying.” He added that “American patriots are being arrested and held in captivity like animals,” while also being critical of crime, inflation, prisons and mental institutions.
  • The district attorney’s office invited Trump to testify before the grand jury as part of its investigation. Daniels and Michael Cohen, Trump’s former personal lawyer, both met with prosecutors earlier this week.

Trump’s lawyer, Joseph Tacopina, told CNBC on Friday that the former president will surrender to face criminal charges, should he be indicted.

  • “Will follow normal procedures if it gets to that point,” Tacopina told CNBC.

Worth noting: Trump, who has 24-hour protection from the Secret Service, is currently living at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

Background: A grand jury in Manhattan could indict Trump for his alleged role in the hush money paid to Daniels before the 2016 presidential election. Daniels claims she had an affair with the former president, which Trump has denied.

  • Cohen pleaded guilty to federal campaign finance violations in 2018 and was sentenced to three years in prison related in part to the $130,000 paid to Daniels.
  • Cohen later alleged that Trump directed him to make the hush money payments amid the 2016 presidential election campaign. Cohen said Trump then reimbursed him for the payment through the Trump Organization and the company cited it as legal expenses.

  • The big picture: The grand jury in Manhattan could turn the 2024 campaign on its head by indicting Trump.
  • Trump would likely play the victim and vengeance card for 2024, which are already major themes of his campaign, Basu writes. The former president has already identified any and all investigations as “witch hunts.”
  • But, there’s no precedent for what’s about to happen, leaving the United States political system in uncharted waters.

According to multiple reports, the NY DA is coordinating Trump’s arrest with the Secret Service, and team Trump wants the visual of being led out of Mar-A-Lago in handcuffs. That picture or video is the rocket fuel his Theocratic Fascist base will use to take up arms against American institutions and any never Trumper.

The crazy part? His supporters aren’t questioning his crimes. In their mind, Trump is beyond the law, and this is nothing more than political persecution of their leader, chosen by God, and God’s law supersedes the US constitution. Trump is counting on and asking for violence, and he’ll get it.

That’s the visual the rest of the free world wants. Videos of Michigan Militia driving to Washington with a Dodge Ram Pickup loaded with assault rifles. Pictures of Proud Boys getting ready to defend Trump with flak jackets and pipe bombs inspired by MTG.

The significance of Trump’s arrest plays both ways. While this is the Schadenfreude 85% of us are looking forward to, it stands to serve as a fucking powder keg of violence instigated by Trump over the past seven years.

Trump’s lawyers say Trump will go peacefully if arrested. Trump’s supporters? Not so much. He just made sure of it.
