    "I’m not sure the public would stand for it,” Trump said during a Fox News interview that aired Sunday. “I think it’d be tough for the public to take. At a certain point, there’s a breaking point.”

    I don’t see that as inciting violence YET. We saw how Trump set it up for 1/6:

    So, if he starts calling for a mass protest at the courthouse on 7/11 with similar language? Yeah, I’d call that incitement.

    Particularly if he has some kind of speech to the crowd before going in for sentencing, or, if he’s allowed to leave following sentencing.

    That could all result in ANOTHER investigation and criminal indictment, oh, say, around 2027/2028 or so.

      He knows he doesn’t have the same kind of pull that he used to, though. He may still try to see what kind of crowd he can muster. He’s that vain. But it doesn’t seem like many would answer his call to violence anymore.

      The orange felon is begging for prison time. He has an malignant narcissist’s soul. His followers are those easily fooled and/or poorly educated dolts who eat up his obvious lies.
      The MSM isn’t allowed to call out his outright lies and stochastic terrorism because the oligarchs who own them want fascism.
