It seems as though ex-President Donald Trump’s panic, fear, and desperation surrounding the FBI search and seizure warrant raid at his Mar-a-Lago compound have officially reached a dangerous fever pitch, as the former president appeared to openly call for violence.
While the ex-president was undeniably careful to skirt around the specific verbiage that he undoubtedly knew would get him in a heap of trouble, Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform recently and sent out a thinly-veiled but highly public apparent call to action aimed toward agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, appearing to encourage them to get violent in response to the FBI raid at his Palm Beach resort that he’s called home since his eviction from the White House.
Donald Trump, of course, is now facing down the very real prospect of a brutal criminal indictment from the DOJ for violations of multiple federal laws and regulations, including the Espionage Act. Things got even worse for the former president when a heavily redacted version of the Mar-a-Lago affidavit was publicly released, revealing that federal agents were concerned, on good authority, that Trump continued to possess a multitude of classified documents and materials at his Mar-a-Lago resort, and was not honest about his possession of said documents during multiple previous interactions with the National Archives and Records Administration.
The affidavit also revealed that a staggering approximate 200 classified, top-secret, and federally protected documents were retrieved from Trump’s Palm Beach estate back in February and, under a 2018 law signed into effect by Trump himself, would make the now ex-president and average American citizen guilty of a felony offense for mishandling said documents and materials.

To say the very least, it seems that the affidavit, however redacted it may be, stoked Trump’s panic and desperation in the worst kind of way, prompting the former president to attempt to stoke anger, fear, and distrust within the federal agency that raided his resort just a few short weeks ago.
In his unhinged Truth Social post, Donald Trump fumed:
When are the great Agents, and others, in the FBI going to say ‘we aren’t going to take it anymore,’ much as they did when James Comey read off a list of all of Crooked Hillary Clinton’s crimes, only to say that no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute. The wonderful people of the FBI went absolutely ‘nuts,’ so Comey had to backtrack and do a FAKE INVESTIGATION in order to keep them at bay. The end result, we won in 2016 (and did MUCH better in 2020!). But now the “Left” has lost their minds!!!”
Evidently, this one apparent call to action alone was not enough, though, as the scandal-ridden ex-president re-upped the message again at approximately 2 a.m. the next morning, with the caption, “FBI, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
While we can’t say with certainty what Trump specifically meant by “we aren’t going to take it anymore” or the part about the FBI going “nuts,” we can certainly say that he’s doing his damnedest to create as much divide and anger as possible, while crossing a line that he won’t be able to come back from.
