And then he'd launch into a rambling diatribe that explains nothing, wastes plenty of time, and leaves everyone around him feeling stupider for having to hear it. Which is pretty much his response to everything. But his lawyers would argue that, well, it didn't prove violent intent, so that counts, right?
At which point any judge worth their gavel would hold him without bail until the trial due to his long and well documented history of inciting violence. But, y'know, old famous white guy, so we'll see.

Oh yeah, we'll see.
We'll see him walk out of a courtroom with a very stern warning that he will completely ignore. We'll see him continue to issue threats and commit crimes that would land LITERALLY anyone else in jail pending trial, have extra charges slapped on, and have warrants issued for their arrest.
We'll see that even though trump is being blatantly criminal, the fear of his base will keep him free. Because cult leaders are like that.

If I'm the judge, I'd put him in a cell overnight just to show him what it's like. Let him out the next day and dare him to keep it up. Next time he does it, I'll put him in for a week. Think I won't? Try me.
If he shuts up, he loses face. If he doesn't, he goes back in. Either way, he loses.

Wouldn't being put in a cell help reinforce his martyr claims with the base?
That's the only reason he shouldn't be locked up the entire time between now and his trial. Just give him a taste and then let him decide if he wants to keep pushing his luck.
If getting thrown in prison is a benefit to his status in the cult: then he will do it. He's going to keep pushing his luck because he cannot lose face to the cult, it's all he has left.
Then I can't wait for him to hug around and find out.
Ideally, the cult's reaction wouldn't be a factor, because trying to appease them, aside from being impossible, is basically negotiating with terrorists. But this is the world we live in.....
Their bargaining posture is highly dubious.
You know, since they're going to react badly no matter what happens.

Sadly, it's entirely a factor because (oh, and the ******* irony.) they'll take it as an action of authoritarian government. It's entirely not, it's respecting and acting by the law as written. Will the cult once again attempt to commit acts of violence against... hug anyone they can blame. It's absolutely negotiating with terrorists; and if the cult gets fired up enough (and literally imprisoning the messiah in religion will do that.) if there are enough attempts at violence: statistically some will succeed.
I guess the real problem is that, in the face of this much threatened violence and upheaval, we suddenly need all our leaders to be willing to literally take a bullet for their country. And I don't think any nation has ever been so privileged as to have such stoic, selfless people in charge. We'd be lucky to find even a handful these days, and if they did run for office, the public would probably be weirded out by it. "You're telling me I ought to vote for some fanatic with a death wish?" they'd probably say.
He's also now blaming Biden and wokeness for.....the US Women's Soccer Team losing to Sweden.
I'm not stupid enough to make that up.

I mean, clearly one guy is.
This could have gone in the Twitter thread, I guess, but Twitter had to turn over all Trump's stuff to federal prosecutors, and was fined $350,000 because they delayed turning it over.

It will be interesting to see if any of Trump's DMs end up in evidence.
US special counsel obtained search warrant for Trump’s Twitter account
Social media platform delayed complying, court filing shows, prompting judge to hold Twitter in contempt and fine it $350,000

I don't expect them to be too useful because the man has no filter and probably just posted most of the worst publicly for attention anyway.
