Trump supporters are begging Ron DeSantis not to extradite the two former presidents to New York.
Threats to surround Mar-a-Lago and obstruct traffic if he does not call out the National Guard have prompted demands for him to do so.
The ex-president issued a call to action for his followers on Monday, urging them to “resist, protest, demonstrate” before his scheduled arrest on criminal charges the following day.
Some of Trump’s backers have even suggested building a “MAGA moat” around Mar-a-Lago to keep Bush Sr. safe from capture. New Yorkers are demanding that Trump be extradited, and the governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, is under intense pressure to oppose the request.
The former president has stated on his Truth Social platform that he anticipates being arrested on Tuesday for the hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels.
He screamed “protest, protest, protest” in one of his numerous irate tweets. They retaliated by holding a demonstration in front of his Florida mansion, complete with boats, flags, and leaflets.
Now, members of the M.A.G.A. coalition are pressuring DeSantis to hold off on turning Trump over to a “Soros DA” until the conclusion of the inquiry in Florida is reached. For Trump’s safety, some have urged Florida Governor Rick Scott to deploy the state’s National Guard.
But his fellow Republicans have been eager to demand that the arrest be rescinded, DeSantis has been silent on the matter.
Radio hosts like Stew Peters and Mike Cernovich agree that action is required in the political realm.
When DeSantis asked for advice on extraditing the former president, Cernovich argued against the idea. He also provided the governor of Florida with a statement for public consumption.
He made it clear he would not send a presidential contender to a district attorney’s office funded by George Soros if that office allowed dangerous ex-convicts to go free. Extradition might occur if the law allows it, but it generally won’t.
Joey M., a former radio personality and political pundit tweeted that DeSantis’ political career was over. The worst thing since Pence.
The thinking is that if he doesn’t sign them, he’ll either reconcile with Trump and run as Trump’s running mate on a unity ticket, or he’ll become a hero to MAGA and wind up as the nominee in 2024.
A tweet from Peters reads, “If Ron DeSantis is the conservative hero he claims to be, he should REFUSE to follow the arrest order for President-in-exile Trump and send the Florida National Guard to Mar-a-Lago to defend Trump.”
If he does not get a majority of the vote, DeSantis is lying about his chances of becoming president.
To stop the ex-arrest, some have suggested surrounding Mar-a-Lago or blocking roads. Protesters have begun to assemble at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club, and more are expected at Trump Tower in New York.
According to DailyMail.com, they contacted DeSantis’s office to find out where the lawmaker stands on the issue.
