In case you missed it, Trump is traveling to Waco, TX for his next rally and yes this is the anniversary

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65068125

'The campaign event, planned for Saturday, marks the former president's return to a traditionally conservative state in which he remains very popular.

But his decision to hold the rally in Waco - best known for an armed standoff 30 years ago - has raised eyebrows.

The 1993 tragedy is seen as a landmark event for the American far-right.

A city of about 140,000 people in the heart of Texas, Waco is celebrated these days as host to Baylor University, the Dr Pepper Museum and the home-improvement reality show Fixer Upper.

Three decades ago, however, it was where FBI agents, the US military and Texas law enforcement laid siege to a religious cult known as the Branch Davidians.

The small, insular Christian sect was led at the time by David Koresh, 33, an apocalyptic prophet who allegedly believed he was the only person who could interpret the Bible's true meaning.

Under Koresh, the Branch Davidians had stockpiled weapons in order to become an "Army of God".

Authorities intended to conduct a surprise daylight raid on 28 February 1993 and arrest Koresh, but what ensued was a 51-day standoff that left 76 people dead, including more than 20 children and four federal agents.'


It does make one wonder if Trump is thinking he has an 'Army of God'.

He has always espoused violence and his base heard him. '16 when he talked about 'beat the crap out of them' and the rally where he said he'd pay for legal fees of anyone who was charged with assault.

This week AG Alvin Bragg's office received a letter threatening him that contained white powder. His office has received close to 100 threats to the people who work there.

The J6 mob have tried to use Trump's directives to march onto the Capitol as a defense for their violent behavior. Though the courts have recognized Trump's call to arms they also have ruled that each individual is responsible for their own actions.

What makes Trump's recent pic of the bat as a threat to Bragg unusual is that he is personally threatening Bragg, he's not just calling his base to be violent (which he is) he's stepping up his own direct threat.

From his truth-social postings.

How presidential….him taking a bat to the District Attorney who may charge him.
.
On top of his prediction of “death and destruction” if he is charged.
.
I’m really interested in how his defenders view this…..
