Trump says he expects to be arrested on Tuesday

“Lock him up” about to become real?

Best comment: "Trump will definitely be in NY. He will love the spectacle."

That’s a good point, because you know they’ll do the same thing to DeSantis.

If our political parties spent as much time trying to build as to destroy we might get somewhere.

The election then becomes not about Trump, but about voting to destroy a corrupt system.

Agreed. He's called for his supporters to be there. He'd look like a big goober (like what else is new) if he didn't show up.

There's what looks to be a detailed analysis of what is likely to happen Tuesday here: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2023/03/18/what-we-know-donald-trump-indictment/11498610002/

Former prosecutor Glenn Kirschner says it could happen, but that a perp walk is unlikely. The bulk of the comments in the article could be interpreted as maybe yes, maybe no -- the ol' CYA.

Trump's own lawyer says, 'it's becoming more probable' -- lawyer waffle. He can hardly call his own client a liar, after all.

Why would you expect Trump to be arrested just because Trump says he expects to be arrested?

For one, Trump has a checkered history with telling the truth.

For two, Trump has more to gain from pulling a publicity stunt about claiming imminent arrest than NY law enforcement has to gain from making the arrest as publicly speculated by Trump.

Thank you. You took the words right out of my keyboard. If the Democrats were as loud and energized about finding decent candidates to run as they are in whining about their many grievances, maybe we could get somewhere.

Best question I have seen so far.

Will the Secret Service go to jail with Mr. Trump?

I think he's calling out the prosecutor. He sets some arbitrary date, and if he's arrested, well, he told you so. If he isn't, the prosecution is bogus. It's a win win for him.

I agree although the more prudent and efficacious of the two scenarios would be to leave him at large. Let Trump continue in his role of playing Nick Bottom in this real life interpretation of Shakespeare’s character.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Posting it here in the hopes that someone can explain the joke to me…

Ah, ok.

I am in awe of Horace for actually knowing this.

HEY! I knew it TOO!
