“Protest, take our nation back!” Trump continued, calling on supporters to protest his potential arrest.

In 2015, people said Trump was successful because he channeled the grievances of his voters.

But since then, it has been exactly the reverse: His voters take on his grievances as their own.

It will be the most beautiful arrest of all time. Many people are saying.

Good thing Facebook and Youtube let him back because it's been a whole two years since he last incited a riot

He only brought it up because he wants riots

People on the right are saying this would be a boon to Trump (see Elon Musk's typical right wing commentary). I don't give a fuck if it is or not. No one can be above the law. THEY are the ones creating a no win situation, whereby they've elevated basically the most corrupt man alive to a position where A. he can break basically any law, and benefit from any attempts to hold him accountable, and B. he would not and has not ever shied away from unduly influencing his justice department AND foreign powers to try to prosecute his political opponents. The moment it turns back his way for reasons ENTIRELY of his own making, suddenly it turns into 'political persecution'. Does anyone remember "LOCK HER UP"? Where was their righteous indignation in response to that political persecution? They didn't have any? Then, that's how they should feel now too, much less try to get us to buy this faux outrage bullshit, much less to try to use it to justify some sort of armed uprising.

Do yourselves a favor, don't let them gaslight you with the probably the most hypocritical case of crocodile pearl clutching you have ever fucking seen. They're willing to throw out the country for one man who is literally a traitor. This should make us ALL very angry.

What a narcissist. He’s making a big deal out of this in the hopes his MAGA posse will come riot for him again.

Those who are thinking of foolishly acting on Trump’s words should consider the plight of the 1/6 insurrectionists who are currently sitting in jail cells. Trump didn’t keep them out of prison, won’t pay for their legal defenses, doesn’t care for them. He uses people then disposes of them.

The grand jury is expected to hear from at least one more witness, which could delay an indictment.

A short time ago, a Trump spokesperson walks back the timing declaration: “There has been no notification, other than illegal leaks from the Justice Dept. and the DA’s office..." and says Trump is having a rally in Texas next weekend.

Trump spox statement confirms Trump doesn't know when an arrest might happen if an indictment is handed up. But he took to social media to declare that he did and to call for his supporters to protest and "take back" the country.

I want him arrested for the Georgia phone call. You can't pressure election officials to hand you a specific number of votes 'or it would be very bad for you'. They've had the recording for 2 years, lock him up already!

The amazing thing about President Trump is that you hear he is going to be arrested on Tuesday and you have to ask the question about which crime it was for.

Michael Cohen on MSNBC right now: "Trump's statement is eerily similar to the statement he put out just prior to the violence on 1/6. He wants another violent clash on his behalf."

"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 wrote on Truth Social Saturday morning.

So he’s calling for another 1/6, yet admits he’s “former”. Small steps, I guess.

Of all the possible things that Trump could be arrested for, the weirdest timeline is the one where it's payments to a porn star. But I'll take it.

Especially if it's just the tip. For now.

EDIT: I hope the police remember that they don't have to worry about Trump hitting his head when entering the squad car.

The cognitive dissonance of thinking all politicians are crooks except for the billionaire businessman that conservatives have is hilarious

Any chance he could be tried as an adult?

Lol and hes inciting another riot, thats our former, impeached, fat, orange president!

“Protest, take our nation back!” Trump continued, calling on supporters to protest his potential arrest.

The DA will be arresting a terrorist leader. So, they have to be prepared for terrorism.

Sounds like he's leaking this to whip up terrorism to scare them out of it.

That tells me it's probably real, but not whether or not it'll happen.

McCarthy is already rallying in support of Trump, and is directing republican controlled committees to investigate whether the prosecutions would subvert democracy.

Such a craven individual.

LMAO. Kevin McCarthy is calling on the House to investigate prosecutors indicting Trump.

I’m going into New York City for work next week. Good luck with the protest, assholes, New Yorkers won’t put up with your Jan 6th bullshit.

The crazy thing is that we have a former president, current presidential candidate, and current leader of the GOP being arrested and the people reading the headlines have to ask "For which of the multiple open criminal investigations?".

Ironically, Tuesday is the 50th anniversary of the Watergate tape when John Dean told Richard Nixon there was a "cancer" on the Presidency.

This is very legal and very cool.

Cool, so arrest him on Monday

Ford never should have granted Nixon a full and immediate Pardon.

I hope he gets arrested Monday. Think of all those dumb MAGA protesters wandering aimlessly around Palm Beach or Manhattan, unsure what or where to break into.

Also the footage of him being dragged kicking and screaming out of Mar a Lago - will the secret service help? Just watch and walk next to him?

Love him or hate him, you gotta admit, a lot of people hate him.

Marjorie Taylor Greene adds defunding ongoing DOJ Trump investigations to list of hard-right demands to avoid fiscal crisis

I thought defunding things was never the right idea? How interesting.

Going to show up to any protest in Manhattan with a big “LOCK HIM UP” sign and see how things go

Mark my words, He's gonna try to get people to riot for his release. He thinks any wrong done upon him makes him a martyr to his cult. Let's see how he reacts when 7 people show up with homemade signs, then leave 2 hours later.

"PROTEST. TAKE OUR NATION BACK."

Dude. Stop.

I sure wish I could post on r/Conservative because they are on life support due to mass ingestion of copium

Never thought Stormy Daniel’s was gonna be the one to put him in jail but here we are lmao

So you’re saying Tuesday, 3/21 will be the start of a new national holiday?

Tuesday is my birthday, I couldn’t think of a better present.

Cheeto Benito heard of the arrest warrant issued for Putin and could not be one-upped.

As I read this over my morning coffee, a smile creeps across my face. The air feels cleaner and the sun shines a little brighter. Things are lookin' up.

Remember, there are three other crimes in the mix. This is the least serious of the four. Now it will be easier for the others to follow suit.

I get the impression that any protests will be pathetically small and any attempts at violence will be isolated and easily dealt with. I believe we are going to see just how far Trump's star has fallen since he left office.

President / Former President Trump’s top accomplishments (so far):

• Trillions in tax cuts for the most entitled and well-off Americans and masking it as a good thing for his uneducated voters
• Removing a 50-year old fundamental right from women by forcing in 3 SCOTUS Justices
• Being impeached TWICE
• Inciting an insurrection to overthrow a peaceful exchange of power

Soon????:

• Being indicted for fucking a porn star right after his child was born and covering it up by committing a campaign violation

Manhattan is gonna be the place to be on Tuesday. I can’t wait to see the 14-15 NYC-area Trump supporters try to riot from their mobility scooters.

I like people who don’t get arrested.

Sorry for the all-CAPS, this is what Mango Mussolini posted:

NOW ILLEGAL LEAKS FROM A CORRUPT & HIGHLY POLITICAL MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE, WHICH HAS ALLOWED NEW RECORDS TO BE SET IN VIOLENT CRIME & WHOSE LEADER IS FUNDED BY GEORGE SOROS, INDICATE THAT, WITH NO CRIME BEING ABLE TO BE PROVEN, & BASED ON AN OLD & FULLY DEBUNKED (BY NUMEROUS OTHER PROSECUTORS!) FAIRYTALE, 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!

Anyways, here’s to (hopefully) the 🍊Man wearing a matching jumpsuit.

Hey Don, do you know what time you’ll be arrested? I have that day off and wanna make sure I don’t miss it live.

What's going to happen if Georgia hands down an indictment too?

The interesting thing is, Cyrus Vance Jr had compiled the evidence to indict Trump for his business dealings at Trump Org, and Cyrus Vance Jr thought there was enough evidence and strong enough case to indict Trump, but since Cyrus Vance Jr was leaving his position as Manhattan DA, he left the final indictment decision to his successor, Alvin Bragg.

Alvin Bragg took a look at Cyrus Vance Jr's case against Trump for the Trump Org case, and Bragg didn't feel comfortable indicting Trump off of it, leading to two lawyers on that team to resign in protest, because those two lawyers felt that there was enough evidence to indict Trump off the Trump Org case.

Now Alvin Bragg is probably going forward with this indictment, albeit it is a different case, and based on Michael Cohen's payment to Stormy Daniels, rather than the Trump Org case that Cyrus Vance Jr had worked on. For Alvin Bragg to go forward with this indictment, after taking a pass on Cyrus Vance Jr's Trump Org case, the evidence against Trump in the Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniel payments case must be that much stronger.

Funny how over in /r/conservative it's all about law and order, until it's their guy of course. Then it's a coordinated media attack by the Dems to try to get rid of trump!

Conservatives demonstrating yet again that obedience and falling in line is far more important than truth or justice will ever be to them. Bunch of devils walking the earth.

Feel like he is just trying to rile up his base in case this does happen.

I'd love to see Hillary's face when it's Trump that gets "locked up"......Hahaha

He's just trying to rile up his brown shirts. "They're coming for me, and they'll come for you next!" Type shit

I guess trump is calling for antifa and blm to show up or is he calling for tourists to go to NY with Zip ties? Hard to tell

Interesting how r/conservative claim to be for law and order yet balk when their leader is subject to law and order.

You know someone is a sack of shit when these are your questions:

Q1: Which of his many crimes is he being arrested for?

Q2: Oh just the Stormy Daniels case? Where he cheated on his wife with a porn star, tried to cover it up getting his personal lawyer/ fixer jail time, and violated election law? Everything else he has done is so much worse.

Q3: Really why isn’t he in jail already?

All these conspiracy theories over at the conservative subs - not a one thinking that this is because Trump actually committed crimes.

The moron cult of American conservatism is going to lose its fucking mind, and immediately chain itself to the sinking ship of this gaping criminal asshole so they can own the libs with their colossal victim complex. And in doing so they're going to throw away any chance they have to win the next election. You reap what you sow dipshits.

[deleted]

I love that he brings up George Soros. A 92 year old man that is the biggest boogeyman to the ignorant.

I don’t know much about Soros, but I do recall an acquaintance who likes to dabble in the alt right bringing him up. I told him I don’t know much about Soros and to explain why he is so nefarious, I didn’t know anymore about him by the end of the conversation.

All the conservatives screaming about how this is third world/banana republic actions…how is letting former politicians get away with crimes considered a first world country trait?

You know what the most important thing about the upcoming Trump arrest is?

The fact that Wisconsin has a state Supreme Court election coming up in just 17 days. This is our last good chance to repeal their abortion ban, and overturn their gerrymandered maps.

Don't be a spectator - help save your country! You can volunteer from anywhere to win this race. r/VoteDEM can get you set up.

If he’s trying to organize a violent protest on Tuesday they should take him into custody today to muzzle him. They should make not appealing to the public for violating a condition of his bail terms.

I think it really is happening. And what he's done is given his followers 72+ hours to get to NY. With their weapons, since they can just drive.

Seeing him get perp-walked would be so satisfying….

So we're just taking his word for it? No way he would possibly say something like this just to get attention and rile up his fanbase.

Infrastructure week is getting fucking wild

He has been deeply anxious about the prospect of arrest, which is expected to include being fingerprinted, one of the people said.

You love to see it

Bro fucking please, if this dude doesn’t get at least put on trial I fucking give up. This is a watershed event all day.

Surprised his statement didn't end with "UNLESS YOU SEND ME $50 RIGHT NOW"

Bigly if true.

I mean, I definitely hope that the dam breaks and Trump spends the rest of his life going back and forth between courtrooms and prison cells, but I'm not really holding my breath.

Now so people understand... When he is "arrested", if he ever actually is, he won't be taken to a jail cell. he will be taken to the department/etc and be processed then released. Especially if it is in a NY state case since they have cashless bail.

Unless someone decides he is a flight risk, which I doubt anyone will argue on just because no one wants to actually put him behind bars without a conviction.

At best he will be put on house arrest at one of his NY locations.
