Former
president Donald Trump warned that if he were indicted on a charge of
mishandling classified documents after leaving the White House, there
would be “problems in this country the likes of which perhaps we’ve

"The likes of which" is one of its favoritist figures of speech.
Trump,
speaking Thursday to conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, added, “I
don’t think the people of the United States would stand for it.”
Hmm, some! lol
Hewitt, who is also a contributing columnist
for The Washington Post, CHIEF! What, did Ann Coulter turn you down? then noted that critics would describe the
comment as inciting violence, and he asked Trump to respond to the
claim. “That’s not inciting — I’m just saying what my opinion is. I
don’t think the people of this country would stand for it,” Trump said.
When pressed by Hewitt, Trump said he thought there would be “big problems, big problems.”
