Given the number of times Trump is legally fucking himself..... OAITW r.2.0 Apr 18 #1
Well; clearly this Incorrigible will get another pass. MagaSmash Apr 18 #2
He's got to end up there sooner or later, this trial is going to last weeks and he's already violating the gag order Rhiannon12866 Apr 18 #4
I don't believe that he will get a free pass this time, Uncle Joe Apr 18 #9
He's said he wants to go to jail, but I think it's just words to further incite the deluded Rhiannon12866 Apr 18 #20
They probably will only give him a $1000 fine. Big Whoop. Won't change a thing. MagaSmash Apr 18 #21
You'd think they would have learned by now that fining him doesn't work Rhiannon12866 Apr 18 #22
Weissmann sure got our hopes up. Basic LA Apr 18 #3
Will jail be the result? The judge already threatened it... Rhiannon12866 Apr 18 #5

They've said there's a cell through the door at the back of the courtroom for incarcerated defendants waiting for trial Rhiannon12866 Apr 18 #7

GMTA! ❤️ littlemissmartypants Apr 18 #13
He needs to be shown, once and for all, that he is NOT "above the law!" Rhiannon12866 Apr 18 #14
He'll never get it. He hasn't been held accountable for one thing his entire life. littlemissmartypants Apr 18 #16
As I said earlier, an attorney on MSNBC said that his lawyers should plead "diminished capacity" Rhiannon12866 Apr 18 #17
Keep the faith, Basic. ❤️ littlemissmartypants Apr 18 #15
OK, I'm trying. Thanks! Basic LA Apr 18 #18

This has been spelled out to him over and over, but he still believes he's "above the law" Rhiannon12866 Apr 18 #12

they will fine him.

If he keeps doing it, they will most likely put him in jail, that's what *rump wants because he can't campaign for shit anyway and he can play the "victim" card.

It won't help him even if they do put him in jail, *rump is melting in the public eye at an accelerating rate.

Believing one's not beholding to the law is a primary hallmark of the psychopathic APD person. That's why they keep breaking the law.

The wiring in their brains is so contorted that it's difficult for a normal person to understand how twisted they are.

Nothing will really work to make him change. It would be delightful to see him locked up and really, really, really pissed off though. It might trigger a cardiac event and I'm so here for that!

Which would result him being placed in another facility than prison, but he also said that they'd never go for it - so he's continuing to take his chances.
