Donald Trump: Nice country, shame if something was to happen to it.

Trump warns 'terrible things are going to happen' if the country's temperature isn't cooled

Former President Donald Trump warned that "terrible things are going to happen" if the country's temperature isn't brought down, all while baselessly accusing the FBI of a "sneak attack" on his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida and repeating his allegation that "they could have planted anything they wanted."

"People are so angry at what is taking place," Trump told Fox News Digital on Monday. "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."

Trump has been making offers to "help" in recent days while also issuing warnings about the anger he has helped incite with baseless claims about the FBI. Property receipts showed agents recovered top secret and other classified documents during their search on Monday.

The New York Times reported that a person close to him reached out to a Justice Department official because Trump wanted to convey a message to Attorney General Merrick Garland: "The country is on fire. What can I do to reduce the heat?" Some social media users interpreted the message as a veiled threat.

When desperate, he becomes totally unpredictable. He is a sociopath.

He hasn’t done enough damage to this country that I don’t want to say is irreversible, but at the very least will take decades to undo.

So the Orange Buffoon Baboon is offering to broker a peace deal, as it were. Yeah, good luck with that. Are you feeling the hot breath of retribution on your neck? Maybe? Good! . Crybaby

to shut him up and take away his mic, sort out the charges while he is sequestered as a clear and present danger to national security.
