In an interview with Fox, Trump claimed that locking him up, even under house arrest, would be a turning point for the American people.

Asked about being sentenced to house arrest on Fox & Friends over the weekend, Trump said, “So, that could happen. I don’t know that the public is going to accept it, you know, I’m not sure the public is going to accept it. I think it’s going to be hard for the public to accept it.” You know, at some point, there’s going to be a turning point.

Like Donald Trump, he has not directly said violence will occur, but he has tried to get his supporters to pay attention to his legal woes since the first indictment, with zero success. The American judicial system will not be intimidated or intimidated by Trump’s threats.
Trump’s comments are part of his usual strategy. Trump has been convicted. The former president has lost, and now he is trying to use the power he has to evade responsibility and the consequences of his actions. Since the 1/6 attack on the Capitol, the vast majority of Trump’s supporters have been unwilling to cause him trouble.
If Trump is waiting for the mob to show up to support him, he may be waiting a long time.
