warned that things could get out of hand if the Justice Department kept the heat on him."People are so angry at what is taking place," Trump told Fox News, predicting that if the"temperature" isn't brought down,"terrible things are going to happen."
On Tuesday, Trump spent much of the morning reposting messages from known purveyors of the QAnon conspiracy theory and from 4chan, an anonymous message platform where threats of violence often bloom.
