    There is exactly zero chance he ever sees the inside of a jail cell even if he’s not re-elected as president. He’s white, rich, and too well connected.

      I’m not sure your last sentence is entirely accurate. He’s white-ish (orange would be more accurate), rich-ish (highly overleveraged), and connected-ish (those that are not in prison are jumping ship).

      Willing to concede the white/orange portion, but for a man who allegedly is worth billions he’s having trouble scraping together enough money for bond. Those connections wouldn’t even step up to post it for him or loan him the money to post.

        FYI, after the Truth Social IPO fraud, Trump’s net worth is once again over $6B

        Once again, Wall Street is doing its level best to support #fascism.

          That 6b is vaporware though. It’ll have mostly disappeared before the 6 month hold expires.

            There’s not going to be a six month hold. Trump crammed the board of the shell company with cronys who can vote to waive the 6 month hold. Trump’s plans are to unload the shares ASAP and just collect whatever they go for. Even if the stocks lose 90% of their value as a result, he would walk away with over half a billion in cash while the rest of his cronies are once again holding the bag and shocked when they realize that yes, the leopard will eat their faces too. Just like everyone else that came before them.

            Then Truth Social will shutter and he’ll be right back on Twitter complaining about how the radical left censored and cancelled him and Biden needs to be thrown in jail for it.

      I don’t care if he spends the next 20 years drinking daiquiris on the beach; I just want him to go away.

      He won’t be in a prison cell because of national security issues.

      Trump will instead die in confinement in a shitty military barracks. There is already precedence for this with Nixon’s lawyer (not the dying part).

          If that house arrest doesn’t prevent him from social media there’s no real point.

      Tell that to Mr. Epstein who was ostensibly more wealthy and who did not commit suicide in a jail cell.
