Is Trump chumming the waters again?

Shortly after the trial date for the classified documents case was set Trump made the following statement - if he is put in pre-trial detention, some of his "passionate" supporters could be dangerous.

I think he is throwing red meat to his followers. And it seems kind of funny he mentioned pre-trial detention - nobody has said he could get that so maybe he knows it is a possibility. Cheers and happy weekend!

Every time he makes a public statement like that he should be fined and charged with attempting to incite unrest again. Trump’s a public figure, he’s already caused problems with his supporters by deliberately stirring them up—that’s what January 6 was about. If he really thought his words had no connection to that disaster, he wouldn’t keep using them trying to enflame his base again.

@bijouxbroussard He has always been pretty carful to phrase his words so his followers get his message but still keep himself from getting fines or charges. But I think that is about to change because he has so many legal problems right now he is getting frustrated and furious so he is bond to say something that will get him in trouble. Cheers and happy weekend!

@bijouxbroussard Trump needs to be confined, held incommunicado except visits with his lawyers, and no internet access. Give him (at his own expense) a daily copy of WaPo so that he can see how badly he’s failing.

@Nanoose What was that Led Zeppelin song? “Trump’s Lying His Way Into Prison?”

@KunsanVeteran I was thinking the Led Zeppelin song would be Hangman because sometimes I think Trump should be hung for treason. Cheers and happy weekend!
