All-caps rants on Truth Social are definitely a signature move for Trump, and his latest rant about how persecuted he is fits his format perfectly.
Trump insisted that his potential prosecution for mishandling classified documents is unfair, and that he should not be prosecuted—calling the potential trial a "witch hunt."
Trump's rant on Truth Social contained several of his usual talking points, and a lot of finger-pointing.
"How can DOJ possibly charge me, who did nothing wrong, when no other president's [sic] were charged, when Joe Biden won't be charged for anything, including the fact that he has 1,850 boxes, much of it classified, and some dating back to his senate day when even democrat senators are shocked."
"Also, President Clinton had documents, and won in court."
"Crooked Hillary deleted 33,000 emails, many of them classified, and wasn't even close to being charged!"
"Only Trump - the greatest witch hunt of all time!"

\u201cLawyers got the bad news. Roll out the indictment. Hide the ketchup.\u201d— Ron Filipkowski (@Ron Filipkowski) 1685983592
Many assumed the timing of Trump's tantrum had something to do with his attorneys' trip to the Department of Justice offices.
The visit was observed earlier today by CBS reporter Rob Legare and reported on Twitter by CBS' Robert Costa.
\u201cSources tell @CBSNews that Trump\u2019s lawyers are expected to raise concerns about how prosecutors have handled atty-client questions during the grand jury but there is no sign the special counsel is going to waver from how he and his team have handled the crime-fraud exception\u2026\u201d— Robert Costa (@Robert Costa) 1685973911

People sensed fear was major motivator.
\u201c@RonFilipkowski I guess someone just spoke with his lawyers after their visit to the DOJ. He\u2019s understandably scared.\u201d— Ron Filipkowski (@Ron Filipkowski) 1685983592
\u201c@RonFilipkowski I gathered, from this morning, if Robert Costa (CBS) said an indictment might happen this week, then something was gonna get good. Yay. \ud83d\udcaf\u201d— Ron Filipkowski (@Ron Filipkowski) 1685983592
\u201c@RonFilipkowski @BlackKnight10k Either he has gotten some bad news or he's just being his ornery pleasant self this afternoon.\u201d— Ron Filipkowski (@Ron Filipkowski) 1685983592
\u201c@RonFilipkowski @joncoopertweets All I hear from this tweet is how SCARED Trump is. \n\nAnd he should be.\u201d— Ron Filipkowski (@Ron Filipkowski) 1685983592
\u201c@PresidntTicTac @costareports @CBSNews @RobLegare He knew he was breaking the law; he didn\u2019t care.\u201d— Robert Costa (@Robert Costa) 1685973911
\u201c@costareports @RpsAgainstTrump @CBSNews @RobLegare The double-standard for rich white men in our Constitutional Republic is exhausting and infuriating. Any other American citizen who took classified documents would have been arrested immediately without question. But the NY conman remains free when all of the public knowledge\u2026\u201d— Robert Costa (@Robert Costa) 1685973911
Many people were just delighting in Trump's frustration and discomfort.
\u201c@RonFilipkowski I've got beer and popcorn. Let's go\u201d— Ron Filipkowski (@Ron Filipkowski) 1685983592
\u201c@RonFilipkowski But but but... the emails! \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\u201d— Ron Filipkowski (@Ron Filipkowski) 1685983592
\u201c@RonFilipkowski @joncoopertweets THIS news, a gift from above, thank u God!\u201d— Ron Filipkowski (@Ron Filipkowski) 1685983592
\u201c@RonFilipkowski Not a witch hunt if you\u2019re a witch.\u201d— Ron Filipkowski (@Ron Filipkowski) 1685983592
While Special Counsel Jack Smith has not yet announced Trump will face trial, it certainly seems like he assumes he will be prosecuted for mishandling classified documents.
