The fact that Donald Trump could be arrested at any moment is not something that worries the former president, according to information to the New York Times. 

He is at his luxury resort in Florida.  

There he spends his days driving a golf cart, DJing and practicing how to pose during the actual arrest.  

The clock is ticking for Donald Trump who, according to his own statement, could be arrested at any minute.  

But while police and the FBI's counter-terrorism unit are gearing up for potentially chaotic protests in New York - the former president is at his luxury Mar-a-Lago mansion in Florida practicing how to pose in handcuffs upon arrest.

An event that he wants to see immortalized in pictures by photographers and journalists, after which he wants to highlight to the public that he has nothing to hide or that he is ashamed of the accusations, according to information to The New York Times.

According to people from Trump's inner circle, the former president does not understand the seriousness of the criminal charges against him. 

Instead, Trump is said to have stated that he is excited by the public's reaction to the arrest, describing the whole thing as a "fun experience."  

- He has been seen driving around in a golf cart at his resort in Palm Beach. The other night he DJed at a party where he played his personal Spotify playlists, which consist of everything from music from the Rolling Stones to "The Phantom of the Opera", says an informant to the newspaper.

Calls for protests  

The Background to a possible arrest is the  investigation into porn star Stormy Daniels and the money from the president's campaign coffers that she received before the 2016 election to keep quiet about their alleged affair. Something Trump firmly denies. 

An announcement from the grand jury in Manhattan is expected shortly. And according to The New York Times, there are many indications that the jury chooses to proceed with the charges against Trump.  

But according to the controversial former president, he describes  the  accusations  as a witch hunt and has called on his followers on his own platform Truth Social to protest. 

"Protest, take back our nation!" Trump wrote on his own social platform Truth Social.
