when jail?
Two possibilities:
- The judge finds him guilty of contempt and orders a short jail term as punishment. Could happen any time now that he's heard arguments, but the prosecution didn't request it, so a $1000 fine is much more likely unless he keeps on violating the gag order.
- The jury convicts him, and he's then sentenced to a significant term. This won't happen until the trial is over, several weeks hence
Reality number 1: He avoids all responsibility. Avoids all punishment.
He has so far had a 100% success rate in avoiding jail time or any consequences. I hate the guy and wish that hell was real (I'll even go there too if it meant these kinds of people would) but I would never in a billion years bet against him avoiding punishment.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but this is the case for everyone before they go to jail.
I don't think anyone has as long a track record of committing obvious jailable offenses and staying out of jail though. At least not that we have record of
The first step is to get charged, the second is to be convicted. There are plenty in Trump's shoes, who have only been criminally co evicted once and got a slap on the wrist. The smart ones pull the correct strings and don't even get charged, and certainly don't have their misdeeds reported in the media if they can help it.
My original point, that he won't spend a second in jail or ever be punished for any of his crimes still stands..
With the way he's organized his fundraising and his Trump Co stuff. He stands to make billions by losing the election. Winning will just make him emperor.
He will die fat and rich and orange in Florida ranting on truth social while taking a shit and snorting Adderall
That's certainly possible, and I'm not very optimistic that he will see jail.
They should just gag him during trial and only take it out if he needs to answer. Then sell the drawings to the highest bidder.
Maybe gag him out of court as well, and take his phones and computers. And spank him a little.
