In a weekend Truth Social blitz, the former president threatened to violate his gag order in the upcoming hush money trial
Donald Trump said Saturday he is willing to go to jail, but not for the crimes he’s accused of committing.
The presumptive GOP candidate said he wanted to violate the expanded gag order against him in his upcoming hush money trial. In fact, he would be willing to make himself a martyr and serve jail time if the judge found him guilty of violating the order.
In a three-part post on his tanking social media company, Truth Social, Trump lashed out at the New York judge who granted the gag order, Juan Merchan, whom Trump has repeatedly targeted in his posts along with Merchan’s daughter for being biased against him.
“IF this Partisan Hack wants to put me in the ‘clink’ for speaking the open and obvious TRUTH, I will gladly become a Modern Day Nelson Mandela – It will be my GREAT HONOR,” Trump wrote.
Trump thinks he is Paul Atreides making a play for the throne. He is twisting into religious fervor on purpose because he knows that once people fall into the hands of a hero they are a half step away from being radicalized into extremists. That’s what is happening now. He wants the Christian nationalists to explode with violence. He wants them to install him as their emperor. He wants the Jihad that will kill anyone who thinks he is not the savior. And if we keep marching on this path that possibility grows larger.
