Report: Trump is Terrified About Going to Prison After Losing The Election, As He Should Be
- Thread starter Crossing Eden
- Start date
we know how this works, even if he lose, no chances he'll go to prison, and i'll be surprised if he somewhat ends up in prison
I mean, sure, but I cant take this super seriously when their choice of copy is "hes reportedly soiling himself"
Like, no, hes not literally peeing his pants, Vanity Fair. If you want me to take you seriously, have higher editorial standards than the high school newspaper

I think he is only worried about money, like other people are saying, he will appeal shit to the grave, what he really fears is losing his business, his assets, being poor and I think there is a good chance he loses most of it once the authorities look into things and his dodgy income is watched like a hawk, that's the end of him, he can't money launder or commit fraud anymore so he is up shit creek with debts to fulfill and failing businesses that don't make money that have been propped up by scrupulous actors trying to sway favour with the POTUS and money laundering. That ends when he gets kicked out and the magnifying glass is on him. That goes for him, his kids and Kushner who is up to eyeballs in debts too with favours that no longer apply. Can't wait.
Is the electric chair still a thing? If not, a metal mixing bowl, some wire, a plug and a couple of alligator clips will do the trick.
This is what I see too. He'll run with piss-soaked pants to Russia either on or before Jan 21st, and never come back.
Nah, he'll live his life in freemdom while golfing and sending mad tweets about future presidents.
Realistically, is there anything a US president can do to end up behind bars? Short of actual murder live on tv?
I just think its a line that no politician will cross, even if it is Trump. If they open that door its open season for any one of them to go to jail. Similarly, even though it is Trump, it isn't a good look for a Us President (former hopefully) to wind up in jail for America's image on a global scale.
The evidence will have to be pretty damning.

Exactly. There's no way an ex-President will spend a day in jail
Considering he's also going to have several debts come due within the next four years, that's a very real problem with him.
He'll likely need to start liquidating his assets to help cover debts and legal expenses since he won't have the DOJ around to represent him. Which in turn would put his family in considerable financial stress.
Throw in a potential terrible showing during this election, the mystique of the Trump name that the family has coasted on for decades could very well be destroyed.
Speaking of which, but can Republicans actually somehow start the impeachment process for Joe Biden as soon as he is sworn in? You, know, because of the laptop etc.? I mean, I know they can't get it done without the house majority, but can they even go through the process and cause another enormous waste of time? Or does this require to have the majority in appropriate house committees? Because if they can start the process I'm betting that they will, simply to be annoying and cause obstruction because that's the only thing they know how to do.

edit - nevermind, I may be wrong about whether the minority party could start impeachment hearings as a nuisance (i hope not, but I'll edit until I find a better article to reference)
Even if convicted he'd just end up going to a posh Club Fed resort like (Halden Prison), probably sharing a bunk with Bernie Madoff.
If he loses the election, is it a realistic possibility that he resigns and transfers power to Pence to get a pardon?
I don't think anything will happen because Biden will pardon him to prevent the potential outrage from Trump's followers.
Putin has no use for a broken toy. Besides,Russia is the country where suspicion businessman get killed in saunas, Trump won't be there.
A pardon for everything.
But he has to be found guilty to get a pardon.
That might get Trump out of any federal charges, but it wouldn't impact states prosecuting him. New York has lots to charge him with, and if they decide to they won't go lightly.
It's an admission of guilt. You don't actually have to be found guilty to receive a pardon.
He'll probably have some court cases, but it's highly doubtful he'll face a day in prison/jail.
And I'm not sure why people are thinking he'd flee to Russia. After he's out of the White House (god willing, this January), he'll have outlived his usefulness to Putin.
Correct. You don't even have to be charged with anything in order to be pardoned.

That recent supercut that Vic Berger did for Vice reminded me just how obsessed Trump is with "shooting traitors like in the good old days" and the death penalty in general.
I'll go check it out. I like Vice content. Yeah, Trump would love to execute anyone who disagrees with him. He's such a scumbag.
I fully expect them to raise a very loud stink about it, yes. Without a majority in the Senate, though, it will go nowhere. Just more media circus.
There should be a way to punish crimes committed by a president, yes. If that's uncomfortable, maybe don't elect a criminal.
Trump will not go to jail no matter if reelected or not. You are delusional if you think otherwise.
Yeah, if he is ever tried and convicted, he will get a fine and that's it. Don't get your hopes up on this one.
Trump is never going to jail or facing any real consequences for anything. The ultra wealthy already barely face legal consequences, let alone a former president. Nobody with the authority to do anything will actually do it. Absolute best case scenario sees Trump at least looking at some mild financial penalties.
Seriously, everyone expecting the law to actually function and Trump to go to jail are just setting yourselves up for massive disappointment.
Most likely result is Biden and Dems pull the "it's time to heal, leave the past in the past. Unity!" bullshit while Trump lives out the rest of his days in wealth and luxury.

This reads like so many other articles over the past four years that play directly into some sort of fantasy of Trump suffering greatly... But he's not suffering. He's gotten basically everything he wanted out of his four years.
Exactly, it reads like the same kind of delusional schlock we endured during the Meuller investigation when everyone insisted that he would drop the hammer on Trump and he'd be going to jail before the end of his term.
TPM was musing about this a couple months back: https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/the-law-is-coming-2 (sorry for the paywalled link)
There is no way in hell a former US president is ever going to spend a single day in prison. Trump will live out his wretched life in luxury unimaginable to most of us, gobbling down burgers and shitposting on Twitter until the day he finally keels over. Please keep your expectations in check.
Honestly this reads like yet another fluff piece based on wishes and rainbows. Every day since 2016 there have been articles about how Trump is peeing his pants or how the mob is coming to collect his debt or whatever else. Everyone here and everyone in Washington knows that Trump will never spend a day in prison.
We all know about the media telling Republicans what they want to hear, but there are also outlets simply telling you what you want to hear.
