MAGA supporters call for Gov. DeSantis to deploy National Guard to protect ex-president at Mar-a-Lago from possible arrest and plan a 'Patriot Moat' at Florida mansion - as GOP chiefs accuse Manhattan DA of 'abusing his power'

Trump supporters are pushing for a 'MAGA moat' around Mar-a-Lago to prevent the former president from being arrested as they demand that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis defy New York authorities and refuse to extradite Trump.

The ex-president had claimed on his Truth Social platform that he will likely be arrested on Tuesday on criminal charges related to payments he made to porn star Stormy Daniels.

He even urged his supporters to 'protest, protest, protest' as he raged online about the legal case, causing many to show up at his Florida estate with signs, banners and even their own boats.

Now, some MAGA conservatives are demanding that DeSantis refuse to extradite Trump to a 'Soros DA' until the Florida government can conduct its own investigation — with some even saying the governor should call in the Florida National Guard to protect Trump.

But so far, DeSantis has remained quiet about the potential arrest, even as other Republicans line up to denounce the possible indictment as an 'abuse of power.'

Among those calling for action are political commentator Mike Cernovich and radio host Stew Peters.

Cernovich, for his part, demanded that DeSantis refuse to extradite the former president, even offering a statement for the Florida governor to use.

'I will not extradite a presidential candidate to a Soros DA who allows violent criminals to roam free until there has been a proper legal review conducted under Florida law,' he offered. 'If lawful, then extradition may occur, but not one day sooner.'

Political strategist and former radio host Joey M. also tweeted 'if DeSantis signs that extradition request, his political career as we know it would be over. He’d be worse than Pence.

Let’s stop with fairy tales and crazy talk of road blocks, National Guard or Trump surrendering at Fort Sumpter for crying out loud.

I believe some of these comments are intentional to foment protests. Similar crazy comments were made prior to 01/06.

This is not a federal case and no federal court involved.

Yes, but the extradition request would be handled by a Federal court.

The charges are nonsense. But people will forget that and believe them justified if this happens.


or not. What happens here reveals our hearts and whether we deserve a republic. Lets find out.

The lyrics of this song comes to mind here....and I think DeSantis knows...

You got to know when to hold 'em

Know when to fold 'em

Know when to walk away

And know when to run

I like DeSantis, but if he delivers up Trump, Ron can kiss whatever hopes he had for higher office away.

It would be a Pence-like, career killer move.

There is no delivering involved. Scammed up charges by SOROS DA does not make the arrest or the extradition to NY itself illegal. For one thing the arresting officers must go by the warrant not by conflicting opinions on its validity. If you paid attention you would also know the governor does not have the authority to refuse the extradition papers. But mostly I do believe Trump is likely to avoid giving NY DA the satisfaction of seeing him marched out of Mar a Lago under the escort of PBC deputies. Trump will do things on his own terms.

What we need is a militia. You can’t trust the gubmint or any of their agencies.

We have one, it’s called “The People.” Unfortunately, most of “The People” are totally ignorant of history and the Constitution.

I think DeSantis bet long ago that his gop handlers and donors are more powerful than Trump. He would be wrong.

I am a DeSantis supporter. Rumors of an affair between Trump and what’s her face long predate the tussle over 2024 election. You might want to wipe the foam off your lip.

For once I agree with David Chase and Fury.

Let’s not go all nuclear here and beat war drums about something that hasn’t happened and may not happen.

The left and the media (but then I repeat myself) are trying to bait good people into doing something stupid. Let’s not be manipulated by that scum.

So, instead of doing the honorable thing, admitting what you were posting was false and incorrect, you pivot and defect.

Good job!

“I like DeSantis, but if he delivers up Trump, Ron can kiss whatever hopes he had for higher office away.”

Even if, legally, he has no other choice but to comply? There are limits to what a state governor can do, right? Does anyone here know what those limits are? I’d like to know in case it comes down to an actual arrest vs. just the threat of one currently.

I put nothing past these commie AHs. Anything can happen going forward.

Interesting.

Of course, as always, the comment makers will be at home on their lazy boy watching live on T.V.

Don't really care if you are a DeSantis Supporter, however, there is no excuse for either spreading a lie, or believing a lie when the truth is so readily available:

Stormy Daniels via the Denver Post (2018)

“The fact of the matter is that each party to this alleged affair denied its existence in 2006, 2011, 2016, 2017 and now again in 2018,” the signed statement reads. “I am not denying this affair because I was paid ‘hush money’ as has been reported in overseas owned tabloids. I am denying it because it never happened.”
