Gun-toting supporters urged to protect Donald Trump from arrest
Hugh Tomlinson, Washington
Supporters of Donald Trump have called for thousands to join them outside the former president’s estate at Mar-a-Lago after he announced that he expects to be arrested on Tuesday and urged his followers to protest.
Calls for Trump supporters to form a “patriot moat” around the club in Palm Beach, Florida, have appeared on social media since he revealed on his Truth Social platform that he expects to be arrested over hush money payments to women who alleged sexual affairs with him before the 2016 presidential election.
The calls for armed Trump supporters to rally to his defence have raised fears of a confrontation at the gates of Mar-a-Lago if the police try to take him into custody.

Lets send the Marines in to arrest him.
In all honesty, is the mansion dweller in Mar-a-Lago worth all of this? Why won't he just take his pension like everyone else did and shut the 'f' up.
malignant narcissism
Or does he believe he can bring America to its knees and seal victory for autocratic Russia, Saudi Arabia and China?
What a sad commentary, I remember well when President Eisenhower sent the 101st Airborne to Little Rock to enforce the end of school segregation and to force the Arkansas National Guard to stand down.
If these nut cases try to use weapons to stop Trump from being arrested it would, IMO time to send in the real troops.
