Trump Shares Post Calling For Civil War On Truth Social

Over the weekend, Donald Trump shared a post calling for a Civil War in the United States from someone on Truth Social (a post that was responding to another post that said the United States was crumbling from within.) This is the kind of rhetoric that his base lives for, and we've already seen what they're willing to do without him explicitly telling them to commit acts of violence. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses how dangerous this simple post it.

Just a couple of days ago, Donald Trump shared a post on truth, social calling for a civil war here in the United States. So here's what happened on truth, social Fox news personality. Laura Logan shared a post from, uh, the president of El Salvador that said that the United States is falling so fast due to an enemy within then a pro-Trump account on truth. Social saw Laura Logan's post retre retweeted it, which on truth. Social is called RET truthing because they're not very creative with the names, but he reintroduced it and wrote civil war. Then Donald Trump himself came back, saw that post and reintroduced civil war, civil war here in the United States due to an enemy within, according to the president of El Salvador, shared by a Fox news host. That's the point we're at in America today where the former twice impeached president of the United States actively calls for civil war because you can't frame that any other way.

Somebody suggested civil war. Donald Trump shared it with his millions of followers. That is an active call for civil war. And a good prosecutor could probably bring Donald Trump up on charges of sedition, conspiracy, right? Things like that. Treason, maybe, but as so many other things happen with Donald Trump, this one just kind of gets ignored. Yeah. The media picks it up. People talk about it. We talk about the outrage we talk about. Of course, the dangers of this. We have seen Donald Trump's crazed fanatic cult followers do horrendous things. We have seen them literally kill people just based on lies that Donald Trump tells them. But so far he had not gone as far as to say civil war. Well, technically, now he has he's reintroduced it. So what happens now? What happens when his deranged followers take this as a marching order? We have already heard testimony from far too many of the capital riots that have gone before judges in this country. And they have said that Donald Trump told us to do this problem is Donald Trump did not explicitly tell these people to do this. They just thought that that is what he was implying. He wants us to go and do this. So how would those same people interpret this truth, where he calls for civil war. We know exactly how they would interpret it, folks. Yes. This is dangerous. Yes. This is sick.

Yes. This is disgusting. Yes. This is borderline sedition, but nothing will happen. And that's the worst part of all these stories. Nothing ever happens. Now, if I were to get on truth, social or Twitter or any other social media app and call for any kind of violence, even rhetorically against any elected official in this country, the FBI is going to come knocking at my door. That's what happens when you're not a powerful person, even joking, right? If you were to joke about a member of Congress, you know, getting an incurable disease and succumbing to it, you're going to get a visit from authorities. But here the former president of the United States is RET true things. Somebody calling for civil war and I'm willing to bet there won't be a single authority paying him a visit. Nobody asking him to clarify this. We all just accept it as Donald Trump doing what Donald Trump does while we sit here and wait to see if any of his deranged supporters take him literally on that.
