Cosgrove said it is the speed at which Trump can operate that keeps him one step ahead of his political opponents. By announcing that an arrest was pending, Trump created a political storm around Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who almost overnight became portrayed as a national enemy in conservative media. It was also an effective call to arms to rally the former president's supporters to Waco.
Trump has made more than 26 stops in Texas since he took office in 2017, including eight visits since he lost his re-election. But Saturday marks his first time in Waco. Trump's campaign said Friday that it was seeing"significantly" more supporters signing up to attend the Waco rally than past rallies in other states.
Meanwhile, the federal government is investigating his handling of hundreds of classified documents found at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. Those documents include some marked “top secret.” “If they can take him out they’re one step closer to taking you and your freedoms out … and apparently that’s been the plan all along,” Donald Trump Jr. said on social media after the Waco rally was announced.
That event has long been an anti-government rallying call for some on the far right. While the image might fit Trump’s message these days, his campaign said Waco was selected for its central location, not for any larger symbolic meaning.
