He hasn't been officially indicted yet so maybe there will be more after that happens? Hopefully it won't be like Jan 6 at all.

Doubt it. It's hard and expensive to get into downtown NYC . Anyhow, I know he's trying to make a yuge deal out of this to fundraise off of it and martyr himself, but, honestly, I think even his hardcore supporters don't have much appetite for being arrested for him at this point. This exactly. I also think there's a difference between protesting to save your country when you believe the election was stolen vs protesting what appears to them as a unfair arrest. I just don't think there's a lot of motivation or passion for his supporters to save him from being arrested. The supporters that might think about it are probably thinking twice given the fact that Trump has not done a thing or given money to help supporters arrested for Jan 6. eta - Just read this and she articulated my thoughts much more clearly. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/march-20-2023?r=1f0orz&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=emailAs a number of people have pointed out, Trump rallied his supporters in late 2020 around the idea that a key election had been stolen. His supporters are likely to find the idea that he must be protected over financial crimes committed in New York, possibly related to a sexual encounter with an adult film actress, less compelling.
And then there is the issue that those who turned out to support him in January 2021 found themselves on the hook for crimes, all on their own, without his help. Just today, a jury found four more people affiliated with the Oath Keepers guilty of conspiring to obstruct an official proceeding, conspiracy to prevent an official from doing their duty, destruction of government property, and civil disorder. The jury found two others guilty of entering and remaining on restricted grounds. Meanwhile, Trump spent the day “truthing” on social media.
