Trump will be fine. He will likely face significant legal consequences, this isn't a video game where your favourite character always wins I have my doubts about him serving time, despite his behaviour, but he is co-conspirator in a crime that sent another man to prison, and while being rich in America can help you evade justice for the most part there are limits. He will likely be consumed by legal issues. And he knows it. I don't expect his fanclub to twig that yet.

Could it just be that everything he has done has been on purpose. Every speech every action. Even 'alleging' a rigged election which he predicted in 2018 ironically. Let's not forget that he also said that the 2016 vote would be rigged - until he won - then he promptly forgot all about that. He actually tells people what he's going to do. "I'll accept the election results if I win" People paint his comments as a joke, but he very obviously meant that. There was no eventuality where he was going to accept losing, and so any claims he makes beyond that, should be taken with that in mind.

Edited by BlueJay (08 Jan 2021 4.20pm) Who cares about legal issues....Trump has been dealing with legal issues for decades. The reality is that Trump won't be damaged either financially or serve anytime in jail and all this waffle about 'oh they are going after him, he's going to jail', is just so much lefty wishful thinking. Money is power....To be honest I'd prefer it is Trump actually felt genuinely threatened because then he might start using the power he actually has and what's inevitable would advance more quickly.

Why not re-open Alcatraz and bung him in there for the rest of his hopefully short life. Must have things piling against him should have done a presidential runner, although where could a president go? Not allowed in to Scotland apparently I wonder if he has one of those little putting devices that send the ball back.
Whatever you think of him, wishing him a short life is harsh. Are you saying he has been banned from Scotland? Interesting to know on what grounds he is barred, Scotland do not (at present) have their own immigration policy so he must be banned from the UK, which I very much doubt.

Just seen Krankie is using COVID travel restrictions as a reason but they don’t seem to have banned International flights so good luck with enforcing this ban. How amusing if he pitched up and claimed asylum! Edited by Spiderman (08 Jan 2021 4.52pm)

I wouldn't be so bold as to say that he'll go to jail. There will be meaningful consequences though. He now has serious legal issues to contend with that go way beyond what he's had to deal with before. The man is a grifter writ large. He's certainly powerful, but by no means at the top table. Due to his conduct, he will likely learn his place. Time will tell.

Edited by Stirlingsays (08 Jan 2021 4.29pm) This is probably how it will work out but you have to admit there is a reasonable chance he could get snagged into some legal issues. Might not result in jail time but certainly carry some sort of punishment. Community service would be my favourite. 300 hours litterpicking under a freeway with some Mexicans. Priceless

Possibly.....You know I might actually like that. What I don't like about Trump is that he fires up his base (though that's all it was) and then when the fringe go too far...he throws them under the bus....calling them 'heinous' and telling them they are going to jail. I know what he's trying to do but...which is back out...but those were unwise words and will harm him on his own side. Saying your enemies's words has always been stupid....your enemies still hate you and your side loses faith with you. Still....leaves an opening. Edited by Stirlingsays (08 Jan 2021 5.10pm)

Edited by Stirlingsays (08 Jan 2021 5.10pm) He had to say that and his base know it wasnt personal. A bit like biden saying he will heal america. Both with fingers crossed behind their backs. All that threw trump under the bus really need to consider 2024 in reality. Could be his son and he wont forget. Biden isnt obama so 4 years is going to be just that. The damage the left will cause wont be able to be hidden as soon I reckon right leaning media will get a stage.
