    He literally has to win this race to save him from prison. I don’t think people understand how motivated he is…

      He’s not going to prison. He’ll get fined. Those fines will be paid off by his friends. The remaining charges will be dropped. And then he’ll go back to grifting rubes with Trumpy Bears and NFT trading cards, before going back to the political bundler circuit in time for 2026.

        Trump would get a fine, if he hadn’t violated the judge’s orders and been held in contempt multiple times.

        Trump burned through all of his rich white guy privileges with judge Merchan. Delaying the sentencing until after the election was a way to make sure that Trump gets prison time.

        See, if the sentencing had been before the election, then the Supreme Court could have held an emergency session to keep him out of prison.

        They will not hold an emergency session for a two time loser.

        The main worry now is if Trump flees the country.

          Im not worried about that, they wont let him, as a former president and current candidate, he has a secret service detail until he gives it up. Given the unique situation he is in, I dont think they would let him do that until everything is resolved.

        I hope you’re wrong, but it’s possible. Dude has so many very serious felony charges still pending against him. We cannot have a functioning justice system in this country if the rules don’t apply to billionaires and popular politicians. I’m going to be contacting my representatives non-stop, assuming Harris wins.

          He’d hardly be the first billionaire/political elite to evade the justice system.

            Yeah people have lost their minds if they think we will ever get control of Musk, Zuckerberg or anyone else worth more than $50 mil. Will never happen, especially with lemmings still willingly voting for Republicans.
