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.

    He’ll go to prison and approximately half the population will think he died there and half will think he got out?

    Like, with Mandela he got out, but people thought he died. So with trump he’ll die in prison, but his followers will remember him getting out and they’ll do that JFK thing every year where they convince themselves he’ll reveal himself?

    Yeah.

    I could see this happening…

      We need to let them continue to think that he’s alive and going to make his comeback. It’ll keep them complacent and waiting instead of going all terrorist extremist.

      Reminder that right wing Christian extremists are considered the biggest threat to the United States by law enforcement agencies
