Trump Refuses to Rule Out Capitol Riots-like Violence if He Loses 2024 Election, Alleges Election Rigging

Former US president Donald Trump has once again stirred controversy as he refuses to rule out the possibility of Capitol riots-like violence if he loses the 2024 US elections. In an interview with Time magazine, Trump expressed confidence in winning the election but left the door open for potential unrest if the outcome is not in his favor.

When questioned about the potential for physical violence in case of defeat, Trump cryptically responded, “It depends. It always depends on the fairness of an election.” This statement comes amidst his repeated claims of election rigging and interference.

Taking to his social media platform Truth Social, Trump accused Judge Juan Merchan, who is presiding over his hush money trial in Manhattan, of “rigging” the 2024 election. The judge recently ruled that Trump violated a gag order by posting on social media, leading to a $9,000 fine for multiple violations.

In a bold move, Trump has increased his stake in Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the company behind Truth Social, to nearly 65%. This development comes as Trump continues to assert his influence in the media landscape ahead of the upcoming elections.

As the political landscape heats up, Trump’s controversial statements and actions are sure to keep the public on edge. The stakes are high as the former president seeks reelection, setting the stage for a contentious and closely watched campaign.
