Being barred from running from office could incur the wrath of his loyal followers, Donald Trump warned in his recent interview. “I don’t think the people of the United States would stand for it,” he said. “I think you’d have problems in this country the likes of which perhaps we’ve never seen before.” Podcast host Hugh Hewitt tried to get the former president to be more specific, but without much luck. Repeating that there would be “big problems, big problems,” Trump added, “They will not, they will not sit still and stand for this ultimate of hoaxes … I don’t think the people of this country would stand for it, especially since they know, especially since they know I’m totally innocent.”
Trump denied that he was trying to incite his fans to violence. “I’m just saying what my opinion is,” he insisted. However, many Twitter users begged to differ. One commenter said, “Trump damn well knows it’s a ‘Call to Action’ to his followers, just as he did leading up to January 6. The consequences of letting him get away with it again are likely to be the end of our Democracy.” Another respondent suggested, “Thanks for the heads-up. Let’s test his claim with an indictment.”
Then there was a faction of Twitter users who promised another type of reaction, with one writing, “I will not only stand for it, I will also dance in my living room and pop champagne for it!”
