Former President Donald Trump has been lashing out at every top official investigating him for several potential crimes. And, of course, Trump sycophants Rep. Jim Jordan and other Republican leaders are demanding that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg go to Congress to testify why he was indicting Trump.

Today, Trump broke out in an all-caps rant to lash out at Bragg on Truth Social. The one-term President's closing two sentences appeared to call for violence -- again.

"HE (Bragg) IS JUST CARRYING OUT THE PLANS OF THE RADICAL LEFT LUNATICS," he said. "OUR COUNTRY IS BEING DESTROYED, AS THEY TELL US TO BE PEACEFUL!"

After that, Lumpy posted a link to an 'article' from National File in what Media Bias describes as "an extreme right Tin-Foil Hat Conspiracy website based on the promotion of unproven/debunked claims and a Strong Pseudoscience purveyor based on using junk science to support claims."

We can add violent to that description. Trump posted the link that includes a photo of him holding a baseball bat next to a photo of Bragg.

If anything happens to Bragg, it's on Trump. We know what his followers are capable of. He's backed into a corner. Narcissists don't like to feel humiliated, so they lash out.

Trump likes to portray himself as tough, but he's not. He sends in others to do his fighting for him. And when they get in trouble, that's just too bad. National File describes Bragg as "notoriously corrupt," and that's not true.

"Notably, Bragg has indicted War Room broadcaster and former Trump advisor Steve Bannon for the crime of trying to secure America’s southern border," the shithole site falsely said.

Trump is the worst propagator of fake news.
