Ted Nugent, a controversial US singer-songwriter and activist and an avid supporter of former President Donald Trump, has advised Trump's supporters to remain peaceful if the ex-president is arrested.

Trump is reportedly facing charges related to a $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016. Nugent, speaking on his news commentary series, The Nightly Nuge, urged Trump's supporters to stand strong, carry a lantern and shine a positive, loving, patriotic light on the darkness.

He advised against protesting or rallies, saying people should participate in non-violent forms of protest instead. Trump himself has called on his supporters to protest and take back the nation should he be arrested. Nugent, however, reiterated that any protest should be peaceful.
