Trump has used his conviction to step up his fundraising efforts but has not otherwise sought to mobilize his supporters, in contrast to his comments protesting his 2020 loss to Joe Biden
said he would accept home confinement or jail time after his historic conviction by a New York jury last week but that it would be tough for the public to accept.
Asked what Trump supporters should do if he were jailed, Republican National Committee Co-Chair Lara Trump told CNN: “Well, they’re gonna do what they've done from the beginning, which is remain calm and protest at the ballot box on November 5th. There’s nothing to do other than make your voices heard loud and clear and speak out against this.”
Some Trump supporters have hung U.S. flags upside down in the wake of the verdict. The inverted flag has been a symbol of distress or protest in America for over 200 years. “His base listens to him. They don’t listen to Lara Trump. And this is another dangerous appeal to violence,” Democratic U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff told CNN.“We are the rule of law party – chaos is not a conservative value. We have to fight back and we will with everything in our arsenal. But we do that within the confines of the rule of law,” Johnson told “Fox News Sunday.”
Trump attorney Will Scharf told ABC News’ “This Week” that he does not expect Trump to “end up being subject to any sentence whatsoever” and planned to ultimately take the case to the Supreme Court.
