Police are gearing up for Trump’s possible arrest. Waste of resources if it doesn’t happen, but I suppose they need to be prepared if it does.
Trump sent out a message that he would be arrested on Tuesday. How does he know? It’s not like police tell criminals when they’re going to be arrested.
Donald Trump says he expects to be arrested on Tuesday and has urged his supporters to launch mass protests.
However his lawyer said there had been no communication from law enforcement and the former president’s post was based on media reports.
Rabble-rouser … 
So police could be preparing for a hoax by Trump?
Better safe than sorry … 
When Trump is arrested it will end up in a landslide victory for him in 2024.
On mainstream social networks, messaging apps and Trump’s own Truth Social, rumours are swirling.
There’s breathless chatter about double agents and “false flags” - attacks carried out with the intention of blaming opponents for the violence.
Many of the former president’s steadfast supporters believe that the Capitol riot on 6 January 2021 was instigated not by Trump fans and far-right groups such as the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, but instead by federal agents or left-wing “antifa” - anti-fascist activists who hoped to discredit Mr Trump.
They point to the presence, revealed in court documents, of confidential FBI sources in the crowd that day.
But that’s very different to saying there was a plot by federal authorities to spark violence. While there’s no evidence of that - and voluminous evidence that the more than 1,000 people arrested in connection with the Capitol riot were Trump supporters - fringe news sites have been filled with wild speculation and suggestions about “deep state” plots.
Conspiracy theorists and rumour-mongers …
What a tangled web they weave. Now they can’t trust Trump because it might not be Trump. Quite the paradox. lol
