Video of Donald Trump Being Told He's Going to Jail Viewed Over 1M Times

A video of protesters chanting "Donald Trump is going to jail" filmed as the former president was in New Hampshire to file for his presidential primary has gone viral on social media, where it has been viewed more than 1 million times.

The footage was originally filmed by the conservative Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN) and later shared by several accounts on X, formerly known as Twitter, where it collected hundreds of thousands of views and hundreds of comments.

The clip, filmed live, shows Donald Trump leaving the statehouse in Concord, New Hampshire, and getting into a vehicle as protesters gathered on location chant "lock him up" and then "Donald Trump is going to jail."

Groups of protesters yelling chants like "lock him up" have been following Trump around for months now, as the embattled president faces at least six different criminal and federal trials. Five have already been scheduled.

The former president is accused in four indictments and two lawsuits which include the mishandling of classified documents after leaving the White House, the payment of alleged hush money to former adult film actress Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election, inflating the value of his assets, and a conspiracy to defraud American voters.

Trump has denied wrongdoing in all cases.

Newsweek contacted Trump's 2024 campaign by email for comment on Tuesday.

"Chants of lock him up and someone on a megaphone saying 'Donald Trump is going to jail' as Trump departs," wrote on X the senior digital editor at the liberal MeidasTouch, Acyn, receiving over 870,000 views. Before becoming a news company, MeidasTouch was a political action committee founded in 2020 with the purpose of stopping the re-election of Trump. The PAC no longer exists.

In another clip from the same event, protesters can be heard still chanting "lock him up."

"Wow. Trump's handlers just rushed journalists away after people started chanting 'Lock him up' as Trump arrived in New Hampshire," wrote progressive political host and podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen in a post viewed more than 690,000 times.

No other candidate in U.S. history has faced a similar legal battle ahead of the presidential election—and yet Trump is still the Republican frontrunner for 2024. As of October 23, Trump had the support of 57 percent of Republican primary voters, according to FiveThirtyEight. Backing for his immediate rival, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, has dropped to 13.5 percent.

Trump compared himself to Nelson Mandela on Monday, saying he was the victim of federal and state prosecutors going after him for political reasons.

"I don't mind being Nelson Mandela because I'm doing it for a reason," Trump told his supporters in New Hampshire. "We've got to save our country from these fascists, these lunatics that we're dealing with. They're horrible people and they're destroying our country."

Many more candidates are expected to file for the primary in New Hampshire. Trump won both the 2016 and 2020 GOP primaries in the state, but later lost New Hampshire to Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden in the general elections.
