Trump's false expectation of arrest

I guess it's no surprise whatsoever that Trump's announcement that he was going to be arrested on Tuesday was actually baloney. He wasn't arrested and he still hasn't been arrested and for all we know he may never be arrested. But for a time it gave Trump what he loves most, big headlines, rousing support from the Republican hierarchy and his adoring fans and huge publicity round the clock. What he based his "I'm about to be arrested" social media statement on we don't know but it was hinted there had been a leak from the office of Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan district attorney who has been investigating Trump's alleged involvement in paying hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels. Bragg has now come out and dismissed Trump's claims as false. It appears he was not on the point of arresting Trump. It doesn't mean he won't. But Trump succeeded in preempting him by getting maximum coverage in an attempt to boost the sympathy vote. What a farce! It just shows how social media can play a leading role in creating stories that literally take over the whole country. Every American has been waiting agog for the moment when Trump got marched off in handcuffs. Trump by all accounts was looking forward to it. Anyway nothing has happened and Bragg will no doubt now bide his time and wait for a better moment to pursue the former president. The winner out of all of this? Well, Trump of course. All that free publicity.
