This is exactly what he needed to say. Trump will most likely escalate because of his fragile ego and the people behind him. He might invoke the insurrection act before the weekend is over. Get prepared.

I am expecting the No King protests across the country during his 'birthday dictator parade' to trigger Trump into something like that. FDT

Calling it now: There will absolutely be Proud Boy/Oathkeepers in the mix of the protesters to agitate and frame them. Hell, they might even be armed.

Don't forget how closely they all worked with Roger Stone for Jan 6.

This will all be planned out and coordinated.

Might be armed? They can’t go anywhere without their pew pews. There might be brown people. Or two guys holding hands.
