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!

Seems like he's always chumming the waters. That's a really good analogy, because the blood and the sharks circling is a distraction and entertainment at the same time.

As for pre-trial detention itself, much like the perp walk thing, he's using it. Why should the next case be any different then the last one where he was not only released but allowed to keep his passport and meet with Putin?

He's daring the "deep state" aka, the US government, to help him by fully engaging his supporters, and if they don't, he can accuse it of weakness.

It's not all that different though, than the 2020 campaign, and that was really close.
