FAIRYTALE, THE FAR REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WAS ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. PROTEST, BACK OUR!,” wrote.

A Trump spokesperson echoed the former president’s social media post, saying, “No notice, other than illegal leaks from the Justice Dept. and DAs office, to NBC and other fake news carriers, that the Radical Left funded by George Soros.

“President Trump deserves to highlight his innocence and the weaponization of our system of injustice. He’s in Texas next weekend for a giant rally. Make America Great Again!” the spokesperson added.
