He announced he'd be arrested, Trump supporters are calling for protests outside his apartment.

This has prompted the response of supporters of the former president of the United States of America. Thousands of calls have been made through social networks to organise a protest outside the area where Trump lives.

This has added to the fear that there could be a clash in case the police arrested the billionaire. He would become the first former American president to face charges, writes the “The Times”.

Internet calls to protect Trump from arrest have raised fears of a repeat of the riots on January 6, 2021, when his supporters attacked the US Capitol in Washington in a bid to prevent the Certificate of Joe Biden's election victory in 2020.
