When he warns of "death & destruction" if he is arrested, is Donald Trump calling for his supporters to kill and destroy if he is arrested?
Read this Friday post by the former president on his social media site:
“What kind of person can charge another person, in this case a former President of the United States ... and leading candidate (by far!) for the Republican Party nomination, with a Crime, when it is known by all that NO Crime has been committed, & also known that potential death & destruction in such a false charge could be catastrophic for our Country?”
Who would arrest me knowing that the if they do so, my supporters will unleash death and destruction? Is that what you are saying, Donald? And, with that tone, aren't your supporters going to feel a call to administer death and destruction?
This was not his first suggestion of violence. A week ago, he decried that the country is being destroyed "as they tell us to be peaceful!" The tone of that is as if to say, No, we will not be peaceful. We will not stand peacefully by while our nation is being destroyed.
There has been concern that Trump might have incited violence in the past -- Jan. 6. To read his words now, he is certainly being no less blatant, but is perhaps being more so.
