Threatening the prosecutor. to repost a picture of him holding a bat to the prosecutor and saying that death and destruction will come if i m indicted is to stick his finger in our eye while we re talking about accountability. so you re not even dealing with anyone that is trying to even show some kind of reason. he is literally threatening the prosecutor, saying, this is what s going to happen. there will be death and destruction if i m indicted. i m not trying to embellish what he said. what is exactly what he said. well, again, let s show the new york post again. you re not embellishing it. nobody on this show is embellishing it. rupert murdoch s new york post calls it, quote, deranged. deranged from the new york post. deranged trump threatens violence against bragg who gets a death note.
Death and destruction. in their editorial, accompanying the coverage tomorrow, the new york post writes, in the face of a possible criminal case in new york, he screamed that death and destruction would follow any indictment. he posed with the baseball. that aimed at the head of manhattan district attorney alvin bragg. this is donald trump. he has not changed in the slightest. there is no shame. after riling up rioters, cheering for a coup and agreeing that his vice president needed to be hanged, he is back to making violent threats against fellow americans. and then the new york post editorial spoke directly to some of the trump fanatics who read the new york post. if you actually rose up and were arrested, trump would abandon you, just as he had every ally who was not useful to him anymore. what did he do for those locked up for months over january 6th?
