Donald Trump Arrest Warning, Call for Protest Draw Mixed Reactions

While New York prosecutors examine charges against Donald Trump related to a hush-money payoff to a porn actress, the former US President stated on Saturday that he anticipates being arrested on Tuesday and urged his followers to demonstrate.

Donald Trump posted on his Truth Social account that unlawful leaks from "a corrupt and highly political Manhattan district attorney's office... indicate that with no crime being able to be proven... the far and away leading Republican candidate and former president of the United States of America, will be arrested on Tuesday of next week."

Donald Trump's spokesperson said that the ex-POTUS had not been told of any arrest. The Republican leader did not mention prospective charges or present proof of district attorney leaks in his post. Trump told his supporters: "Protest, take our nation back!", according to a Reuters report.

Donald Trump Arrest: Another Infamous Moment in US History?

On Jan. 6, 2021, Trump's followers attacked the US Capitol building and attempted to topple his failure to win the 2020 US presidential elections.

Donald Trump is running again for president in 2024. No sitting or former president of the United States has ever been indicted or convicted of a crime. But Trump has pledged to campaign despite criminal charges.

The district attorney, Alvin Bragg, is reportedly considering filing charges related to the hush money inquiry and has recently allowed Donald Trump to speak in front of a grand jury. The impacts of the unusual Donald Trump Arrest are being anticipated by local law enforcement authorities.

Bragg reassured his 1,600 employees in an internal email that they would be secure after Trump's comments and that "any specific or genuine threats" would be examined, per an AP News story. Since Trump's legal team believes an Donald Trump Arrest is imminent, they have been making preparations in the background.

However, Trump's attorney Joe Tacopina stated the ex-president had relied on media reporting to support his assertions and nobody told them anything, which frustrates them in the Donald Trump Arrest, according to CNN.

Trump's spokesperson claimed on Saturday that the former president had not been notified of any prospective indictment by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office but was "rightfully highlighting his innocence" in his post.

Donald Trump Protest Encouragement Draw Mix Reactions

Meanwhile, some Trump supporters took to social media to express their support for Donald Trump protest. Twitter user Beowulf28 noted: "Donald Trump expects to be arrested tomorrow. Isn't the arrest of the opposition a sign of dictatorship? America has fallen under Biden and the rest of his evil cabal!!!"

User TollinginPolitics tweeted: "The NYPD endorsed Donald Trump. What would happen if they refused to arrest him?

One user accused the Biden administration of double standard on handling the Donald Trump case.

"I don't know who this Alvin Bragg is, but just take a look at how terrible NYC is, and to try to arrest Donald Trump for money paid to Stormy Daniels, is kinda dumb. What is the crime? We've seen lots of crap with Biden's son and family in general but nothing happens to them."

On the other hand, critics slammed the former president's latest controversial Donald Trump protest statements.

User Christopher Farrell said: "Except that it is Donald Trump who is rolling out ARREST DONALD TRUMP"

Twitter user Definitely not Elon Musk stated: "I'll be doing even better when they arrest that lying sack of shit Donald Trump."
