Donald Trump said he would accept home confinement or jail time after his historic conviction by a New York jury last week but that it would be tough for the public to accept.

“I’m not sure the public would stand for it,” the Republican presidential candidate told Fox News in an interview that aired on Sunday. “I think it’d be tough for the public to take. You know, at a certain point, there’s a breaking point.”

Trump did not elaborate on what he thought might happen if that point is reached. He is scheduled to be sentenced July 11, four days before Republicans gather to formally choose their presidential nominee to face Democratic President Joe Biden in November’s election.

Asked what Trump supporters should do if he were jailed, Republican National Committee Co-Chair Lara Trump told CNN: “Well, they’re gonna do what they’ve done from the beginning, which is remain calm and protest at the ballot box on November 5th. There’s nothing to do other than make your voices heard loud and clear and speak out against this.”

    Stop playing the ‘both sides are the same song.’

    The ACA was based on Mitt Romney’s Massachusetts plan because Obama wanted to make it easy for the GOP to swallow it.

    If the US is in trouble it’s because one side has been trying desperately to screw the other and doesn’t case if the public suffers too.

      Seriously. I’m so tired of seeing this “I hate Trump, but…” bullshit. Because that’s what it is – bullshit. Yes, we have problems, MUCH OF WHICH IS CAUSED BY THESE MORON CONSERVATIVES AS WELL AS THEIR GODKING!

        Remember, Trump would never have won if the GOP leadership had done their job back in 2016. They were happy to follow him and even now they bow to him. The analogy I’ve been using goes like this; Trump’s the football coach who fed the team steroids and meth to win games, and the GOP leadership is the rest of the faculty trying to deal with the fact that the students are burning down the school.

      The “both sides” argument is a cheap cop out to having a real talk.

      Yes, the GOP is the primary obstruction, but the Democrats aren’t helping much either.

      I vote D all the way down to dogcatcher, but I certainly don’t look to them to solve anything.

        primary obstruction,

        So, wouldn’t it make much more sense to deal with the main problem first?

        People literally died in Trump’s coup attempt.

            Literally my first comment.

            You don’t like Joe and the DNC? Wait until after the election to say anything negative.
