Youre delusional if you think trump is going to face jail time. I sympathize though. Don't do this to yourselves

Whatever about jail time, it's a realistic possibility that he will face enough legal battles to keep him in court for much of the rest of his life, potentially damaging his businesses enough to ruin them.

The difficulty is that once a president leaves office they are a private citizen. There is no easy means to restrict their travel. If Trump says he's off to Scotland or wherever to play golf, who's going to stop him? Once he's there, who's going to stop him travelling on to somewhere else?

Personally I think the idea of him running to Russia would be a fatal mistake on his part and result in him dying of totally natural causes several months later, but if he really wants to do that, it's something he could quite plausibly achieve.

The cynic in me doesn't believe he'll go to prison. But it's what he (and his inner circle) fucking deserves.

Seriously, explain to me how a Trump trial doesn't end in a hung jury every single time. His base is too large for their to be any world where at least one hardcore fan doesn't make it onto a jury every time out.

Yeah a complete fairytale. Also these "TRUMP IS TERRIFIED OF" x articles are always just liberal clickbaiting. No way in hell does Trump believe he will ever set foot in prison.

we know this because Trump is reportedly soiling himself in fear over what he might be prosecuted for, and maybe go to jail over, after he leaves office.

So I keep seeing people say if he loses he'll flee the country, but what I don't get is like how exactly do they think the usa will let him? I mean sure he could but I imagine he would have to do so while still president before biden takes over, because I would have to imagine the moment biden takes over they would have to have the secret service refuse to let him even board a plane out of the country, don't the secret service travel with former presidents for a set number of years after they leave office? I can't imagine that the secret service or any government entity of the usa is gonna let trump run off to Russia or wherever after biden takes over, not just because of the crimes but because trump has already shown he can't keep secrets or not brag about stuff he knows, it would be stupid for america to let a former president wanted for crimes, fly over to Russia and be in the hands of putin or whatever other country wants to use trump to get top secret usa info he may know.

I'd imagine if that was even close to happening, he'd have travel documents cancelled the moment he tried to leave the country, I mean if not then america is maybe the dumbest country in the world for letting him walk off to enemies like that knowing they already manipulated him easily.

I mean look how easily they managed to stop Snowden traveling when he was already outside the usa on the run, you really think it would be hard to stop trump leaving on a plane? It isn't like he is an unknown person that can disappear into a crowd or whatever.

Hehehehehe AHHEHEHEHE aheh aheh aheh...phew ok.

I wonder if he will resign after the election results. Presidential flight first, then resignation? Well, let's see how this pans out. It's not like he is shy about trying his damndest to escape responsibility.

Not automatically. People who are being protected by the Secret Service can decline that protection, with the exception of the current President and Vice President.

Does anyone see the irony of using this gif in moments like this? The characters portrayed are essentially fascists mocking "bugs" (to which the film alludes that the organization is essentially responsible for their aggressiveness).

Sorry Tokyo_Funk, I don't mean to put the spotlight on you specifically as I've seen others use this gif. I had to get that off my chest.

Otherwise, out of context, it is very fitting.

Edit: As several users have pointed out, many gifs are used out of context, so don't mind me. 😅

To be fair, there are many gif reactions used out of context, so yeah I'm probably being a sensitive snowflake.

I hope you don't feel like that way. 😶 (Unless you're joking. If so, whooooosh, don't mind me 😅)

Zero because Trump will either resign under the promise of Pence pardon or, failing that, try to test the potential legality of a self-pardon.

But Biden won't pardon him anyway. It didn't go well for Ford. Biden probably won't be pushing for indictments either, though. I think he will leave it to the discretion of the Justice Dept.

I know a lot of people say nothing will happen to him because former presidents are never prosecuted to avoid setting precedents. But Trump defies all precedent. Previous presidents didn't have tons of people who were willing to try jailing them as soon as they were out of office.

New York wants the fucker buried six feet under the jail. They've got a whole theme park lined up for him.

Yeah I can see that happening and that makes sense. I just think we have a history (as a country) of being like "ah well they're no longer president" and subsequently lionizing former presidents as if they never did anything wrong. But I can see Biden just letting the State Courts do their thing while he ignores the subject altogether.

And have to deal with the geopolitical disaster from it? Just the thought of sanctions finally being enforced already have Putin distancing away plus not to mention he would probably want to be on everyones good side when a vaccine to covid is found and share in a world economic reconstruction.

Duh lmao. Joe Biden is literally running on a platform of unity and coming together. If Trump does end up getting charged with a crime then Biden will pardon him as an olive branch to the maga people so the country can focus on "healing." The playbook couldn't be more obvious.

Do former Presidents get secret service protection while in jail?

That'd be such a weird assignment.

I wonder what kind of a threat the resulting unrest would be to the country, and if they choose not to pursue it because of it.

This is the reason from now until January is going to be hell. Literally a man with nothing to lose and a sizable number of his GOP allies are fucked if he goes down too. He will not leave office willingly unless he flees and you can bet he's going to be crying election fraud from now until forever.
