I know it's painful, but to know what Trump is really up to, you must read his "Truth." And yeah, true indeed is that he is now explicitly calling for violence.
I say explicitly, since "as they tell us to be peaceful!" is as implicitly subtle as an Alex Jones broadcast.
Trump was no doubt offended and just plain put out by Kevin McCarthy's comments about how the lunatic fringe of roughly 74 million Americans should react to the Manhattan district attorney's arrest of the foremost loon: "I don't think people should protest this ... Nobody should harm one another ... I do not believe there should be any violence," said he.
A real party pooper, McCarthy is. For days, Trump had been inciting the nutter crowd to do serious injury to somebody, anybody, in violent objection to the rule of law. But he sort of danced around the whole concept of a J6 redux. Then comes do-gooder Kevin with his goo-goo gibberish about no carnage — not even a protest.
Thus Trump was compelled to redouble his revolting efforts by s-p-e-l-l-i-n-g i-t o-u-t for the earnestly minded, ethically pliable and easily swayed: an all-caps, "They tell us to be peaceful!"
If Trump is indicted, and if protests follow, and if those protests are violent, I should hope that "radical left Bragg" adds a charge of incitement to riot to Donald's rap sheet. For his Truth Social post is of no difference from his incitement of January 6th.

Update: Sometime between 1 a.m. and 2 am. today, Trump also posted that "death & destruction" could follow in the wake of "such a false charge" filed by the Manhattan district attorney, a "degenerate psychopath."
Let us, as Richard Nixon always put it, be "perfectly clear" about this. Speaking of degenerate psychopaths, Trump is willing, even eager to see people die if he's arraigned on a charge for which he'd never do so much as a day's time in jail.
