ON SATURDAY MARCH 18, 2023, DONALD TRUMP POSTED TO TRUTH SOCIAL CLAIMING HIS OWN IMPENDING ARRESTED ON TUESDAY MARCH 21 FOR HIS ALLEGED ROLE IN A HUSH MONEY SCHEME DURING THE 2016 ELECTION. A SERIES OF POSTS URGED SUPPORTERS TO PROTEST AGAINST THE IMPENDING ARREST.
BETWEEN MARCH 18 AND MARCH 21, TRUMP LOYALISTS AND SEVERAL PRESUMED TROLLS ON 4CHAN AND PATRIOT.WIN (A POPULAR PRO-TRUMP FORUM) HAVE DISCUSSED METHODS OF PROTEST AGAINST THE ALLEGED IMPENDING ARREST. USERS ON BOTH PLATFORMS HAVE SUGGESTED LAUNCHING A COORDINATED BANK RUN. FAR-RIGHT INFLUENCER JACK PROSOBIEC ALSO TWEETED THE SUGGESTION TO HIS 2M FOLLOWERS.
INDIVIDUALS IN THESE FORUMS BELIEVE THAT THE ONLY WAY TO “PANIC” THE GOVERNMENT IS TO THREATEN THE STRENGTH OF FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS. TO THESE INDIVIDUALS, THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION'S RESPONSE TO THE COLLAPSE OF SILICON VALLEY BANK AND CURRENT INSTABILITY OF OTHER REGIONAL BANKS DEMONSTRATED A SIGNIFICANT, EXPLOITABLE POLITICAL VULNERABILITY.
NOTE: AS OF 10AM EST, NO INDICTMENT HAS BEEN ISSUED AGAINST DONALD TRUMP AND HE HAS NOT BEEN ARRESTED.
