It’s only illegal if you get caught. It’s airtight MAGAt logic.

Is he though? Seems like the latest “oh my god he’s going down” only for him to be out campaigning like a week later.

There is a disconnect between his legal situation and his behaviour because he’s too way stupid to realise he’s screwed.

He did a terrible job of hiding the evidence of his crimes in many cases he straight up boasted about them on Twitter. He’s misbehaved towards various judges on a number of occasions and threatened the jury. So not only is he absolutely screwed, he’s making the situation worse.

The reason he is still campaigning is because he’s really really really really thick. As are his supporters who think he has even a snowball’s chance in hell of getting away with this.

It’s old really because if he believed it’s his own rhetoric, then there’s some kind of evil vendetta against him bey the evil left, in which case he should know he’s not going to get away. Extreme cognitive dissonance.

I think somewhere in the back of his mind he knows he’s screwed from a legal perspective, but he also knows that if he acts like everything’s ok he might have a chance to be president again. He might be dumb but he knows the kind of power he has in his hands.

Or he’s banking on getting re-elected before the case can conclude.

He’s used to this, first he does something blatantly illegal, then he makes the case take so long and cost so much that it’s not worth pursuing anymore.

Actually just wait, it’s probably far worse.

I’d bet a paycheck if he gets reelected the first act as president will be to pardon himself. If you don’t think he’ll do it, you weren’t paying attention during his first term.

All the more reason people need to get out and vote for whoever is running against him.

The wheels of justice turn very slowly in the USA. His legal team’s strategy to keep him or if prison is to slow then down even more. Iirc his first criminal trial starts either this Monday or the following Monday.

He will be found guilty. He committed multiple crimes in plain view of the public, those crimes were recorded on cameras, he’s made multiple statements admitting that he committed the crimes.

The real question is, will he be found guilty before he dies? He has enough money to put up bullshit delay tactics for the next 10 years.

He could also become president again, that’s his plan. He’s trying to run out the clock on all his legal troubles. Once he’s a presidential candidate I’ll bet you every one of those Republicans that turned on him after Jan. 6 will suddenly start saying it’s unconstitutional to charge/prosecute a presidential candidate.

Well that’s more to the point. If he’s able to keep out of jail for another year and a couple of months (easy enough for these kinds of cases) he can easily be within a shot of the whitehouse. Not ideal.

I think it would be good if he did have to deal with the hell of the court system until he dies, burning the wick of hope until the very end. It would honestly be a relief if he finally went to prison and was able to make peace with his situation in his final years.

He would never make peace with being in prison, though. He’s a spoiled child who never had to face the consequences of his actions. He would lose his goddamn mind if anyone dared to punish him for his crimes.

He’ll be elected and transform the government into a dictatorship of successors.

Honestly I don’t care what happens to T as long as I can finally stop seeing his fucking name seemingly every other day. I was so happy when joe won because I thought 'my god, I won’t have to hear about trump for at least another four years! Finally!" Well I guess that clock finally ticked down and were back to talking about the most…interesting ex-president alive today.

Anyone else remember when Bill getting a blowjob was earth shattering and impeachment-discussion worthy? Really puts things into perspective.

Im simply tired of hearing his name and seeing his face. Whether he gets jailed forever, gets away with a wrist slap, or dies of old age/gets epsteined before either, I couldn’t care less as long as he finally gets out of the spotlight permanently.

My money is on a wrist slap but we’ll see. The rich and politically well connected are notoriously known for getting away with just about anything in the U.S. Y’know because they built the system and rigged it to be in their favor. Fairness is the philosophical tooth fairy, it doesn’t exist. I won’t be clutching my pearls about how justice in america is dead if he slips away with a few hundred mil in fines and 200 hours community service before he gets booted out to live the rest of his days on one of his private islands in bumfuck nowhere atlantic ocean.

Starting to think he’ll never go to jail, and most likely he’ll get re-elected.

He’ll probably die before seeing his jail cell.
