Donald Trump doesn’t bother with dog whistles, he uses air raid sirens instead. Watch these two clips from his Saturday night rally in Conroe, Texas. First, he sets the stage by saying that his political enemies “want him in jail.”

Yes, “they” do. Millions of people world wide would like to see that happen, in fact.
Now here is Trump saying that in the event that prosecutors would do “anything illegal” that he hopes there would be “massive protests” in the cities named. Umm….. what could be “illegal?” Hey, I got it: if you put the POTUS in jail, that would be illegal, right? Right.
That’s the air raid siren. Did you get the message?
After ranting about the prosecutors investigating him, Trump calls the prosecutors racist and says if they do anything illegal, he hopes there are massive protests in DC, New York, and Atlanta pic.twitter.com/RnY6F5OJNv

What’s that you say? How could anybody put the POTUS in jail when Trump is the real POTUS and he’s still at the White House, surrounded by Secret Service people and the military, who are all in on the ruse with him, while Joe Biden’s decoy clone pretends to govern from a doll sized movie set down the street? Good question. Maybe the MAGAs have an answer, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. They don’t seem to be very in tune with the inconsistencies in their stories, to say the least.
Trump seems very worried about criminal prosecution, actually mentioning DC and Atlanta (aspects of the attempted election fraud, I assume) and NY (Trump Org). He seems to be inviting mob action against officers of the law if he turns out to be at legal risk. Pretty dangerous. https://t.co/TklrhaxTQX

And then he promises to pardon the January 6 insurrectionists.
Me in my @TheAtlantic newsletter, a week ago:
"I expect that if Trump is reelected, he will pardon everyone involved with January 6."

I hope it’s becoming clear that if this man ever gets his hands on the government again, he will keep it for life and then who knows where it will go. But you won’t recognize this country if he gets reelected, that much is absolute.
pardoning Jan 6 seditionists is not popular even with republicans. I don’t think that is a vote winning strategy.
He’ll be likely in some kind of board-and-care place by then.
Let’s hope!
