Trump wants to appear in handcuffs if he’s charged in NYC: report
NY Post ^ | 03/22/2023 | Bruce Golding

Former President Donald Trump has reportedly said he wants to be hauled into court in handcuffs if he’s slapped with unprecedented charges in the “hush money” case involving porn star Stormy Daniels.

Trump, 76, told advisers of his plan, saying that if he has to go through the ordeal of getting arrested and arraigned, he’d prefer making it a “spectacle,” The Guardian said Wednesday, citing unidentified sources close to him.

The ex-president — who’s seeking the Republican nomination for a third White House bid in 2024 — also wants to avoid any special treatment that could make him look weak, the sources reportedly said.

OK - while it does sound very much like a typical Trump publicity stunt... this part makes it pretty well false: citing unidentified sources close to him

The blanket of "citing unidentified sources" line is getting old and worn-out...

Everybody from Chris Rock to Mike Tyson understands what a PR disaster that image would be for the Democrats. But the Democrats and their Deep State handlers are convinced they have sufficient control of election systems to make better use of the image to justify mathematically inexplicable ballot totals than their opponents can to bring in new voters.

Yep... all you have to do is look at South America, where they actually lock up their political opponents regularly, to see how often those opponents get out and then win the next election. It’s a very regular occurrence.

Agreed.. If/When they do this. I am sure the Ds will demand the cuffs and perp walk. In front of as many cameras as they can.

Then, when this blows up. And the case is dropped. or When DJT is found innocent. Those cuffs pics, will look very bad.

Elian Gonzales (FBI agent with MP5 shouting at 5 year old bad). or worse bad.

Its a VERY smart PR thing to do.

Trump wants to prove the deep state is real. If you are running against the deep state, what better way to prove it than having them handcuff you?

Also, who wants to be responsible for putting the first US President in handcuffs, especially over a misdemeanor?
