Trump warns of 'problems' like 'we've never seen' if he's indicted

Former President Donald Trump said Thursday the nation would face “problems ... the likes of which perhaps we’ve never seen” if he is indicted over his handling of classified documents after leaving office, an apparent suggestion that such a move by the Justice Department could spark violence from Trump’s supporters.

The former president said an indictment wouldn’t stop him from running for the White House again and repeatedly said Americans “would not stand” for his prosecution.

“If a thing like that happened, I would have no prohibition against running,” Trump said in an interview with conservative talk radio host Hugh Hewitt. “I think if it happened, I think you’d have problems in this country the likes of which perhaps we’ve never seen before. I don’t think the people of the United States would stand for it.”

Just more offensive, delusional, and borderline criminal bluster from Trump.

The reality is that if he's indicted the people of the United States won't just stand for it, they'll be out in the streets jumping for joy.

It's time we got all of your violent, insurrectionist, crypto-Nazis out in the open, so they can be arrested and locked up.

He’d call these people off asking them not to, but asking normalcy and sanity is too much out of this nightmare.

prevent the indictments.

He might even be able to arouse some violence on his behalf. But it won't stop the indictment from happening. It will give him more company in prison.
