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!

One way to look at this is he has those extremist supporters and whether he winds up in a cage or not they are already dangerous. Also and in particular with the election/Jan6 indictment, this behavior of his is more relevant to the crimes being charged and the Judge is not likely to be an insurrectionist like Canon in Florida. So it may be his newest lawyer has advised him he is likely to be caged, which should have already been done in my opinion.
