Trump issues veiled threat ahead of possible indictment: ‘They tell us to be peaceful!”
The New York Post ^ | 03/23/2023 | Steve Janoski

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.***

I do not blame Trump for being mad. He has a right to be angry. Even Jesus flipped over the tables of the money lenders at the Temple—and he was the Prince of Peace! No, if the corruptiocrats arrest Trump if means America is OVER. We have become the People’s Republic of Amerika. The ball is in our court. Maybe its time to bring out the blue flag with a single Star. George Washington wouldn’t put up with this.

The left used to say that “protests are patriotic”.

Until…

The real reason it is not likely to move forward is Governor Hochul’s calculation that her failure to remove Bragg when many were calling for it would be her undoing.

Conservatives have always been at the most tremendous disadvantage.

They need to fight their opponents, the GOP, AND the media... even AFTER they are elected. But, Liberals only need to fight other candidates during the election campaigning...then they can say and do whatever they want, with no questions asked.

I am reminded of Chuck Schumer’s outrageous statements on the steps of the US Supreme Court!!

Yeah, they do tell Trump supporters to be peaceful. That’s a statement of fact and not at all inflammatory. NY Post starting the DeSoros campaign early?

Trump HAS supported the Jan. 6th defendants.

Figuratively yes. Materially no.

They're still in there and life just goes on.

I noticed that most of these pieces have “Trump, 76” somewhere in them. Since his age is not relevant to the commentary, I can only assume there’s a “hidden” agenda.
