In the wake of the FBI’s raid on his Mar-a-Lago estate, Donald Trump has sent a warning to the Justice Department saying that “terrible things will happen” if they don’t take action to lower the temperature in the country following the unprecedented search.
Trump told Fox News that he’s offered the DOJ “whatever he can” to fix the rupture in American society caused by the raid.
The FBI has warned that people have threatened to place “dirty bombs” outside their offices and that calls for civil war have escalated since they executed the judge-approved search warrant this past Monday.
The New York Times reported that Trump, in turn, sent a message to DOJ officials saying: “The country is on fire. What can I do to reduce the heat?”
Trump confirmed that he reached out to the Justice Department.
“The country is in a very dangerous position. There is tremendous anger, like I’ve never seen before, over all of the scams, and this new one—years of scams and witch hunts, and now this,” Trump told Fox News.
“If there is anything we can do to help, I, and my people, would certainly be willing to do that,” he said.
“There has never been a time like this where law enforcement has been used to break into the house of a former president of the United States, and there is tremendous anger in the country—at a level that has never been seen before, other than during very perilous times,” he added.
“People are so angry at what is taking place,” he continued. “Whatever we can do to help – because the temperature has to be brought down in the country. If it isn’t, terrible things are going to happen. The people of this country are not going to stand for another scam.”

Trump alone is responsible for the dangerous rhetoric which I believe is intentional. Neither the FBI nor the DOJ made any announcement of the lawful search warrant of the affidavit which names people close to Trump. Trump and his sons broke the story on social media offering alternative facts.
Under no circumstances are the documents seized allowed to be taken from secure government offices.
“If there is anything we can do to help, I, and my people, would certainly be willing to do that,” he said.
How about stopping with his election fraud claims? Or stepping down from politics?
Would he be willing to do that?
Somehow I doubt his “willingness” to help for the sake of his country would go very far
Jefferson Davis trump offered to turn down the temperature? After causing the greatest upheaval in modern history? He hasn’t as much as told his fanatical fascists not to threaten or resort to violence. He has caused the deaths of several people already. The most evil of ex presidents in history.
Whoever has butter on his head should not go in the sun. He should not have taken national security documents in the first place.
go for it
RT, Trump is no Jefferson Davis. He’s more like Benedict Arnold.
Trump 2024!!!
I can’t wait
Every president takes stuff with him. Letters from other leaders and similar mementos. A negotiation is had about what can be kept in the presidential library and what cannot be.
Here, it appears that the doj and fbi were used in order to flex over trump. A last ditch power move by a weak administration that is crumbling before everyone’s eyes. President Biden promised us stability. Instead he’s taken us to the brink of a societal meltdown.
SaraRifka: As R’ W. J. Clinton so astutely noted, it depends on your definition of “it”. Based on your clearly stated sentiments, If they (the FBI) “go for it”, there is likely to be a well-deserved knock at your door.
Yaakov doe, I hear, but Benedict didn’t wield the power that trump did
Trump isnt like Jefferson Davis or like Benedict Arnold. Hes from New York, not the South or England. Hes more like Abraham Lincoln-a republican, conservative, and (if anyone read the above article) trying to cool the rift.
Trump2024! I also cant wait! XD
Yanky77: Are you also waiting for Godot or perhaps you are not a Samuel Beckett fan???
To all the Trump haters on this site, please be honest:
Do you feel comfortable with 88000 more IRS bounty hunters on your tale? Eric Holder said he can get anyone on taxes!
Do you feel safer with 4000000 more undocumented persons in your country? From all over the world including Muslim countries with zero background check!
Do you feel more secure in your home with BLM and Antifa running wild in blue cities and states while police is being decimated by insane actions of your elected officials? NYPD response time is 9 minutes or more.
Do you feel financially secure with inflation at 40 yrs high? Gas at $4 and will go back up once 180,000,000 berels from SPR are used up.
Are you happy with DOJ hunting down political enemies of our new “royal” family and ruling party?
China threatening Taiwan?
Russia invading and occuping 20% Ukraine?
US forces abandoning Afganistan with thousands of US citizens and Afgan collaborators?
Where is the positive in all of the above?
WHERE ARE WE HEADING WITH JOE AT THE HELM?
