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.***

You have no clue WTF you’re talking about.
You wanted Trump to pardon all these people before he ever saw the evidence they had or did not have on them?
You’re an idiot.
I don’t doubt there was some real peril in early pardons.
I’m j pointing out that broad brush statements and assertions about pardons don’t do anyone any favors.
Re: 81 - LOL!
If anything goes hot DO NOT USE GUNS use other means. Watch how The French are doing it.
From the title, I assumed article would be from NYT.
It’s gonna get a gag order slapped on him once he’s indicted as part of bench conditions. Just watch. His latest eruption about 30 minutes ago, just south of 2:30 am Eastern, is partially going to do it. Certifiable. (I’d say it if it were Hitlery or Sleepy, too. He will listen to no counsel)
Today’s courts serving justice is analogous to a drive-thru serving a sh*t sandwich.
Moi non plus.
Donald has every right to complain.
There’s a group doxxing all the Soros Judge’s and DAs preparing to have them charged in consumer venues if they so much as look like they could be disrupting commerce.
What’s good for the gander .....
FED UP.
WAR.
One wonders why, when Deep State can steal elections at will, Soros spent the money...
To provide cover for the steals...?
If you are suggesting some kind of violence you should be aware that that is not supported by upwards of 70-80% of the American people. Might be a popular redmeat here within the small confines of FR but believe you me beloved FR is just a slice of America and not fully representative of the total… If you objectivy can figure that out
Only a biased delusional lefty would construe conservative LAWFARE against leftwing radicals to be violence.
Hauling Bragg and his co-conspirators into Federal Court and charging them with prosecutorial misconduct in response to their egregious abuse of grand jury proceedings is NOT VIOLENCE, it’s JUSTICE.
