I have long said that the one thing Trump really hasn’t done is gone transactional. He rants a lot, but he doesn’t really tell his followers, specifically what he wants them to do. But that has changed, as witnessed below:
The “it’s time” and the call to protest is rather ominous, with shades of the lead up to January 6th. And, yet, lulz, it could be that January 6th was a very specific set of circumstances and, as such, it’s just not any sort of indication of what will happen whenever Trump might get indicted.
It could be that I’m being hysterical and worse-case-scenario for no reason and while the lead up to him being booked might be tense, the whole thing will be rather mundane, if historic. I mean, this is the same idiot who had everything thinking he was going to do Something Big, only to turn around and come out with a set of MAGA NFTs.
So, I don’t know what to tell you. It could go either way. It could be that having such short notice won’t be enough for Trump to organize anything too crazy. January 6th was gradually organized over the course of a few months, afterall. In this case, Trump would have just a few days to do anything.
And, I still don’t know where he is. If he’s in Bedminster the dynamic of his indictment would be a lot different than if he at Mar-a-Lago. We’re all going to have to wait and see.
