Mixed U.S. reaction over Trump's call for protests
STORY: A day after former President Donald Trump posted that he expects to be arrested this week, opinions about a possible indictment were mixed on the streets of Washington although most people Reuters spoke with expressed concerns about the former president's call for his supporters to protest.
"He should be careful when he uses the term 'protest.' We don't need another..Capitol attack. Even though I'm his supporter, I think this term (protest) should be used wisely because it could bring some chaos," Trump supporter Sulaiman Al Tamimi, a student at Columbia University said.
Trump, whose supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 to overturn his 2020 election defeat, wrote on Truth Social on Saturday (March 18) he expects to be arrested on Tuesday (March 21) and called for protests.
"Protest, take our nation back!," Trump wrote in a two-part post.
The possibility that Donald Trump may be charged for allegedly covering up hush money payments to a porn star during his 2016 campaign angered some of his supporters who suggested that such action was politically motivated.
The probe comes as Trump seeks the Republican nomination for the presidency in 2024.
No U.S. president - while in office or afterward - has faced criminal charges. Trump has said he will continue campaigning even if he is charged with a crime.
