Donald Trump: Supporters react divided to his protest call

Watch the video: Donald Trump calls for protests over his alleged arrest – his supporters are divided

STORY: “Protest, take back our nation,” was a call from Donald Trump over the weekend. The ex-US president wrote on his network Truth Social that he expects to be arrested on Tuesday, according to leaked information from the Manhattan Attorney’s Office, according to Trump. Mixed reactions from Trump supporters in Washington and Florida. “He should be careful when he uses the term ‘protest’. We don’t need another Capitol attack. While I support him, I think it should be used with care because it could cause chaos.” “I don’t think anyone should be telling their followers or asking them to riot or do anything. It’s just causing more chaos. If everyone did that, there would be riots every day.” “Every day they try to pick this man apart. And what have they found out so far? Nothing. They’ll just keep going. All they want is to bring down this man who doesn’t deserve it. The only thing that got him we, the people, are interested.” “So this is just beyond ridiculous now. I mean, you can keep following him and the result would always be the same. It’ll just make more people support him. We’ll keep supporting him, he will run and he will win.” Trump would be the first ex-president to be charged with a crime. It is about alleged hush money payments to the porn actress Stormy Daniels, with whom Trump is said to have had an affair, which Trump denies. In 2016, his then attorney Michael Cohen reportedly paid Daniels $130,000 to avert damage from Trump’s presidential campaign at the time. That may have violated campaign finance laws.
