Trump supporters aren't coping well after the former President posted on Truth Social that he will be getting arrested on Tuesday. At this point, I'm unsure if it's true or if the one-term President is trying to whip his supporters into a frenzy again. Or it could be both.

Trump supporters, including Ali Alexander, are plotting online how to protect Trump from getting arrested. According to The Daily Beast, one individual even suggested that Trump supporters should create a "Patriot moat" around Mar-a-Lago in South Florida so law enforcement can't enter.

Another individual suggested shooting down any aircraft that might come to take Trump into custody. I'm sure the feds are watching for threats online, so good luck with that, buddy.

The Daily Beast reports:

Earlier on Saturday morning, "Stop the Steal" leader Ali Alexander suggested "100,000 patriots" should "shut down all routes to Mar-a-Lago."

Despite publicly calling for action to take place, Alexander said he wouldn't be participating in such an event.

Likewise, Alexander claimed on Telegram to have spoken to far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones—who also expressed zero interest in organizing another protest in the name of Trump.

"He's not protesting either," he added of Jones. "We've both got enough going on fighting the government. No billionaire is covering our bills."

Of course, Ali isn't going. He's sending other people there. That's not surprising. Back in November, Ali let the cat out of the bag and admitted that he says elections are stolen solely because his feels are hurt that his candidate lost.

"Here is what I would say to Joe Biden: Any election I don't like is stolen," he said. "Any election where you get 81 million tabulations, not votes, is stolen. It's pretty simple. If I don't like it, it's stolen. If I like it, it's not stolen. If you win, it's stolen."

Ali is sending other people to do the dirty work, just like Trump is.
