    Bad news, being jailed doesn’t make running for office impossible. Of all people he’d be able to turn it into an election positive for his followers.

      Well he’d be hindered in campaigning, raising funds, giving speeches and interviews, and making back-room deals. I can’t imagine that would help his chances. Knowing Trump it would give him someone else to blame, as he seems incapable of accepting responsibility for anything.

        Perhaps some of that. Let’s do an experiment and put him in prison to find out what changes.

            You might be right. Look at how many people who helped him had a smiling mugshot, like they completed some kind of checkpoint in life.

            Yeah, let’s ignore the law, because people who don’t care about lawfulness and would vote for him anyway might vote for him.

              I don’t think you read my comment in the intended tone.

                My bad, it is hard to guess the tone from the text. I am still upset that if I just did fraction of what he did I would be in jail for a long time and he looks like he might still walk away from it somehow.

                It looks like he is mostly worried about the civil case in NY where he might lose money than the criminal cases.
