    Yeah, but unfortunately with how charged everything is if he gets anything he will claim political persecution and try to be a martyr ( his campaign has claimed they already raised 55m since the conviction). It’s why I think he didn’t get really anything bad when he violated the gag order so much.

      He did that when he won.

        Yeah, all the hand wringing about how he might twist anything punitive into a positive is moronic since Trump whines when he wins too.

          I agree that’s his shtick but his base votes more with emotion and bad things are easier to sell to them than good things.

      He’s doing that now. He will do it if he is sentenced, and ALSO if he doesn’t get jail time. Appeasing him gets you exactly nothing.

      ( his campaign has claimed they already raised 55m since the conviction).

      His campaign claims a lot of things, none of them true. It would be surprising if this turned out to be the first time they weren’t lying.

      It’s why I think he didn’t get really anything bad when he violated the gag order so much.

      I think the judge was going overboard to give every benefit of the doubt to Trump so there would be no basis for appeal. I hope that’s the case.

      Agreed 100% but to be fair, he’s already (been) doing that.
