Former President Donald Trump posted an all-caps rant Thursday morning on his social media network that referred to the American legal system as “the Gestapo” and groused, “Our country is being destroyed, as they tell us to be peaceful!”
“Why won’t Bragg drop this case?” Trump, 76, lamented, referencing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and his drive to indict the ex-president over a “hush money” payment made to former porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election.
“Everybody says there is no crime here. I did nothing wrong!” Trump continued in the post on Truth Social. “This is no legal system, this is the Gestapo, this is Russia and China, but worse. Disgraceful!”
The Queens-born Florida resident also called Bragg a “Soros-backed animal who just doesn’t care about right or wrong no matter how many people are hurt.”
“He is just carrying out the plans of the radical left lunatics,” Trump wrote. “Our country is being destroyed, as they tell us to be peaceful!”
Trump’s inflammatory kicker came after the twice-impeached former president put out a rallying cry to his followers last week, calling on them to protest what he predicted would be his arrest in Bragg’s investigation Tuesday.
It raised fears of violence in light of the Jan. 6, 2021, riot, when fanatical Trump supporters stormed and trashed the US Capitol building following his 2020 election loss to former Vice President Joe Biden. The mob’s attack led to five deaths, scores of injuries, and countless indictments and jail terms for the rioters.
Local and federal law enforcement braced for unrest following Trump’s call for his fans to protest his predicted arrest, but neither a bust nor major demonstrations materialized.***

We will wait for courts to see that justice is done and injustice is stopped.
I don’t see any threat in this comment, veiled or otherwise.
What current protesters? Bragg and his bunch of slugs are pissed off that their desire for another set up of Trump voters failed.
Cuomo said “Who said that protests have to be peaceful”
There is information out that shows how Trump HAS supported the Jan. 6th defendants.
You should take some time to go find it and read it.
Being unclear and making these kinds of ambiguous statements just invites our unprofessional and biased media to spin stuff their OWN way.
He can't hand them those kinds of opportunities
NYP asserts the observation was a veiled threat . Is that what it was?
Are the Rats ever accused of the threats they actually demand and organize?
He’s right. Just what’s being done at the border and with drugs is all out illegality and is killing people. But they use the “legal” mechanisms to get away with it. And they burn down the cities while we sit like little lambs.
You may be waiting a while.
He should have said “they tell us to sit down, shut up and let us turn the country into a wasteland without a fight”.
He has supported the 1/6 folks. Pay attention.
"Fanatical". "Stormed". "Trashed". "The mob's attack". "Five deaths". "Countless indictments and jail terms". Completely outrageous New York Post hyperbolic twisting and lying on the facts.
Damned stinking rag of a newspaper and has always been one.
It appears Bragg is a low IQ student who used Affirmative Action to get into Haavard, and Haavard needed him to meet their quota for Fed Funds. Then Soros picked a a dummy to fulfil his desire to disrupt the American Judicial/Political System and got Bragg to inflict damage for $1 million and Soros is playing him for all he can to justify his investment.

I agree. The number one rule in US politics today is an unfortunate one: It is not a level playing field. A Democrat can say and do the most outrageous things, and it’s not reported. But any vague thing any Republican might say is blown way out of proportion.
This is, of course, no way fair. But it’s also the current reality. Republicans need to be bold. But they also need to be clever. It’s a tough needle to thread, but it must be done if we are to win the propaganda war.
Yep, I remember Maxine Waters kneepad Harris, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, the entire Democrat pantheon threatening violence. Elizabeth Warren did it over Roe versus Wade reversal. They constantly exhort their people to violence. And Trump can’t even say something in this tangential? Turnabout is fair play.

Not the least bit biased. /s
We need to aggressively assert all of our God-given, constitutionally protected rights. That includes protesting and putting fear into these leftists by our shear numbers. They must know that injustices continue to occur and there is no civil remedy that there will be significant consequences.
I don’t believe indictment is coming
Wheels falling off with that letter
They've been having "Discussions" about the southern border for 50 years. It's one big con job, they hoodwinked everyone. That makes the people in D.C. habitual liars with bad intentions. Lies and lip service for 50 years!
The Republican and Democrat globalist SOBs never had any intention of securing our borders.
And another reason why they hate Trump. He exposed them as habitual liars and corrupt lunatics. They all got rich, we lose the country...
These traitors had to stop Trump
