old, you know, forlorn victim of a witch hunt and sort of gin up two things that support among his base, lock that in, and the money that comes with it. the man raised 12 to $15 million in the last couple of weeks off of just this piece and so when you get to a level that s a higher and more serious, jack smith s investigation, january 6th, for example, with all the other players that are in jail, you have marjorie taylor greene taking her little show pony down to the d.c. jail to sort of give aid and comfort to flexionists, all of that feeds into that trump funnel that he can then reposition narratively, he can reposition politically, as he plays his hand, knowing that there s no one right now inside the gop who can stop him from doing what he wants to do the way he wants to do it.
but it s been said, that always, trump thinks he can gather support by playing the victim. and to andrew s point there, h maybe doesn t want to ge extradited, but he certainly i making it clear in his pos this morning that he s bee victimized by the system, he s called for justice because the system has been weaponized do you really think that thi post is kind of a prelude to what s going to happen at that waco rally oh yeah, absolutely i think it s worth steppin back and just unpacking what happened this morning. trump s people have sinc confirmed after his post o true social that they don have an actual forma indication that he will be arrested on tuesday. they re just going by what the call leaks there s actually nothing that informing him formally about what s happening and yet the former president took to his social media platform to say it would happen. to gin up anger among hi supporters over a potentiall
