Trump Expects to be Arrested on Tuesday, Calls for Supporters to Protest and “Take Our Nation Back!”

Andrew Anglin was saying in 2018 up through the election that if Trump didn’t win in 2020 he would end up in prison.

He doesn’t make hard predictions, so he laid out various scenarios, including ones in which he doesn’t go to prison.

From where I was sitting, however, it always seemed like he was at the very least going to be bankrupted by the court system.

Now, it seems, he is going to prison.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday said he expects to be arrested on Tuesday as prosecutors consider charges over a hush money payment to a porn star, and called on his supporters to protest.

A spokesperson for the Manhattan district attorney’s office, which has been investigating a $130,000 payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels, declined to comment.

It’s just one thing after the other, isn’t it?

Who would have thought this was what they would go with? Out of all the accusations, they’re going with the porn star thing.

No U.S. president – while in office or afterward – has faced criminal charges. Trump is seeking the Republican nomination for the presidency in 2024. He has said he will continue campaigning even if he is charged with a crime.

Illegal leaks from a corrupt & highly political Manhattan district attorney’s office … indicate that, with no crime being able to be proven … the far & away leading Republican candidate & former president of the United States of America, will be arrested on Tuesday of next week,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Protest, take our nation back!” said Trump, whose supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021, to try to overturn his 2020 presidential election defeat.

Trump did not say he had been formally notified of forthcoming charges and provided no evidence of leaks from the district attorney’s office. He did not discuss the possible charges in the post.

A Trump spokesperson said in a statement to reporters that, “There has been no notification,” beyond leaks to the media.

He’s probably not going to prison.

They will arrest him in order to help the DeSantis campaign.

The entire conservative media will say that because Trump is under criminal investigation, he can’t ever be the nominee, so we have to go with Meatball.

As for me: I still stand with Donald Trump.
