As the widely expected Manhattan indictment looms over Donald Trump’s head, the disgraced ex-president has continued to put his violent disposition on public display for the world — and more specifically, his equally violent base of supporters — to see, leaving those of us with even a shred of rational critical thinking skills to wonder if we’re soon to see Insurrection Part II.
Last weekend, Donald Trump took to his struggling Truth Social platform, where he prematurely and rather dramatically declared to his followers that he expected to be arrested on Tuesday of this week, as multiple leaks and reports hailing back to DA Alvin Bragg’s office indicated that a formal criminal indictment against the former president would drop quite literally any moment.
In that post, Trump wrote what can only really be described as an open call for violence, as he demanded in all-caps that his supporters, “PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!”
As we’re all well aware, that indictment has yet to actually come and the waters are only getting muddier after Trump’s legal team pulled in an 11th-hour defense witness and the Manhattan grand jury very suddenly canceled their previously scheduled session on Wednesday, with no real indication as to what the future holds.

However, instead of Trump being calmed by the recent developments and the lack of an arrest, it really seems to have only spurred him further, as his violent, inciteful rhetoric grows past the point of return.
Around midnight last night, the former president took back to his Truth Social platform, where he penned a new message warning Americans of “potential death & destruction” if he were to ultimately be charged with a crime.
To make matters even more bewildering and unsettling, we can’t even say with any real certainly which investigation and potential indictment Trump is screaming about this time — there are truly so many of them, it’s hard to keep up with them all at this point. But, it’s relatively safe to assume that the former president is referencing the Manhattan hush money investigation, given the current climate.
Writing on Truth Social, Donald Trump fumed:
What kind of person can charge another person, in this case a former President of the United States, who got more votes than any sitting President in history, 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? Why & who would do such a thing? Only a degenerate psychopath that truely hates the USA!”
If this is all feeling very eerily reminiscent of January 6th to you, that’s because it is. There is no doubt in much of anyone’s mind that Donald Trump knows exactly what he’s doing right now. There’s an end game to all of this, and it’s not pretty.
