George Conway retweeted both of those, just so we keep context up to date. Today, Trump is in Manhattan for a deposition in the civil case brought by NYAG Letitia James. Even the local news didn't bother to show up; neither did the crowds. Last time he went to Manhattan, to be arraigned, there was a crowd: mostly Trump opponents. Empty G tried to talk for about 10 minutes, and left in a New York minute.Utterly deranged post of the evening, #2: pic.twitter.com/gWiienqFtB

I'd like to say giving Trump more oxygen by tweeting out posts he puts in Truth Social are a no good, horrible, terrible, very bad idea. But I can't quite do it; because nobody's really paying attention to Twitter anymore. At least not the Trump supporters most likely to organize armed resistance.
They're all in jail; or in trial; or waiting for the FBI to knock on their door. Sometimes, the system actually works. Including the First Amendment.
Even Trump isn't going to take over government in a putsch and suspend the Constitution. The system is a little stronger than that, and we certainly aren't Germany in the 1930's.
Besides, exposure is actually working:
Yup; massive crowd.Looks like those whackjob "investigations" and making ranting loons like Marjorie Taylor Greene the face of the GOP is working out splendidly. https://t.co/o12SAV8oQg
