These Over-reaching Idiots are Going to Turn Trump Into a Martyr

The New York Post and other media outlets are reporting this morning that Donald Trump will be arrested next week, and the former president says he will not attempt to refuse surrender.

From the New York Post story:

Former President Donald Trump said he expects to be arrested Tuesday in Manhattan — and urged his followers to protest his looming indictment.

“THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!,” he thundered in an all caps missive to his followers on Truth Social Saturday morning.

He slammed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office as “CORRUPT & HIGHLY POLITICAL”  in his post.  

Trump again insisted he had committed no crime, and reminded his followers that Bragg’s campaign had been heavily financed by liberal billionaire George Soros.

Bragg’s looming charges are said to focus on Trump’s payments of hush money to Stormy Daniels, an adult star who claimed she had an affair with Trump in 2016 and received $130,000 in hush money payments from the billionaire to keep her quiet during his 2016 presidential campaign. Trump has denied the alleged infidelity.

Here is a statement Trump put up on Truth Social:

So, is there just no statute of limitations in Manhattan? These over-reaching Democrat idiots are so all-consumed with Trump Derangement Syndrome that they’re really going to indict him for a non-violent, victimless crime committed 7 damn years ago?

They’re going to turn him into a political martyr. The only thing this will do is make his support base even more blindly loyal than it already is, and probably gain him support from outside the base due to the absurd unfairness in the process, which is reminiscent of Stalinist Russia.

Insanity.

That is all.
