Summary
Should he win, Trump would become the first convicted criminal to hold the office, granting him access to the nuclear codes, while defeat could lead to more trials and possible imprisonment.
Throughout his life, he has often evaded legal consequences—from discrimination lawsuits in the 1970s to recent fraud cases and the dissolution of his charitable foundation. Accusations of sexual misconduct and a history of falsehoods have marked his personal and political life.
Despite these challenges, Trump portrays himself as a victim of a corrupt system, turning legal battles into rallying cries. This election may bring a reckoning that even he cannot escape.
He will run to Russia. I have zero doubt about this. Hopefully he takes his cronies and followers with him.
He won’t need to. And there’s not enough fried chicken over there anyway. The guy has been absolutely untouchable. He’s not suddenly going to get spooked. It sucks, but if we are lucky enough for a Harris Victory, the world will move on and I don’t think there will be strong efforts to punish him. He will become irrelevant which may be the greatest punishment of all for him.
Yeah, but what a story that would be: Trump wins/steals the election, gets sentenced to prison time, then leaves the country.
Talk about chaos.
I just hope and pray he immediately finds a window to fall out of!!
But he’s not useful to them in Russia, so they might just let him hang and prop him up as a martyr.
Nah, they have a playbook for this. They’ll put him on house arrest and trot him out every couple of years to make a speech about how terrible and corrupt the US is.
I’ll tell you the same thing I told the other guy in this thread with the same prediction (https://lemmy.world/comment/13226562):
He really only needs to see that he’s going to jail, and then he’ll flee. He won’t see it as fleeing, but that’s what it is. Flight from prosecution.
