In his most incendiary comments yet on the issue, Donald Trump claimed that his future arrest could result in “potential bloodshed and destruction” just days after he called for his followers to oppose his prospective indictment.
Trump published a lengthy post on TruthSocial shortly after 1 a.m. on Friday 24 March, ramping up his recent vitriol against the Manhattan district attorney’s inquiry into his role in making hush-money payments to Stormy Daniels.
“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?,” he wrote.
After asking himself this, Trump said, “Only a degenerate psychopath that truly [sic] hates the Nation!” This was obviously a reference to Alvin Bragg, Manhattan’s first Black district attorney, whom Trump had labeled a “beast” the day before.
In a reprise of the rhetoric that incited his fans to invade the Capitol, Trump urged his followers to demonstrate and to “TAKE OUR NATION BACK!” last weekend, claiming his own arrest would occur this Tuesday (it did not). Politico spoke with Lanny Davis, who is representing Bragg’s star witness, Michael Cohen, as the country awaited the grand jury’s decision.
Davis offered his thoughts on the case against Trump in an interview, posing the scenario in which the grand jury finds that Trump directed Cohen to make the payments. Michael was incarcerated. He asked, “Why is Trump any different?”

If, though, Bragg doesn’t end up filing criminal charges against Trump, what then? I know I’ll be let down. Yet I’ll allow him to pass judgment in good faith. Certainly, I will be disappointed,” he continued, “and it’s always possible to disagree with judgments.
