Trump warns of public ‘breaking point’ if he’s jailed

Former President Trump in a Sunday interview warned of a public “breaking point” if he is sentenced to house arrest or jail time following his conviction in the hush money criminal case in New York.
“I don’t know that the public would stand it, you know? I don’t —I’m not sure the public would stand for it,” Trump said in an interview on Fox News’s “Fox & Friends Weekend,” when asked about the possibility of house arrest or jail time.
“I think it’d be tough for the public to take. You know, at a certain point, there’s a breaking point,” Trump added.
Trump, the presumptive 2024 GOP presidential nominee, was convicted last week on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to cover up a scheme to conceal potentially damaging information from the American public ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
Judge Juan Merchan set Trump’s sentencing for July 11, four days before the Republican National Convention, where Trump is set to officially become the party’s nominee. Trump’s legal team has vowed to appeal the conviction.
Trump said in the Fox News interview he is “OK” with jail time, noting his concern is about the public’s reaction.
“I’m OK with it,” Trump said. “I saw one of my lawyers the other day on television saying, oh, no, you don’t want to do that to the pres — I said, don’t, you know, beg for anything. It’s just the way it is.”

I never heard anything wrong or threatening in President Trump's Jan. 6 Speech. BGB, please point out any threatening words used in Jan. 6 speech of anything threatening in this blog you published. (USA)
From the House committee probing the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol:
"Based on false allegations that the election was stolen, Donald Trump summoned tens of thousands of supporters to Washington for January 6th. Although these supporters were angry and some were armed, Donald Trump instructed them to march to the Capitol on January 6th to 'take back' their country."
I listened to President Trump's speech from Jan. 6. I never heard him tell his supporters to storm the Capital. The quote you have isn't from President Trump. It is an accusation by Democrats in the House. I will continue to disagree with you on this matter. (USA)
America was founded by felons. Every single person who signed the Declaration of Independence was a felon. The United States is severely divided. The recent President Trump criminal trial was a sham. He is now a convicted felon. Do you put your trust in our existing federal government?, The DOJ?, or The Executive Branch? You have published a speech from members of a Democrat infused congress. I hope you really do not believe President Trump ordered the attack on the US Capital. (USA)
