Trump deciding “I’ll go to jail for the right to continue to harass and threaten everyone involved in my trial”

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago

That's the rub.

trump probably believes if he does go to jail for it, it means he can keep doing it because he's already been punished.

It will never come to that, this is just him running his mouth.

But conservatives tend to view punishment like that, as a trade off for doing what they want.

He won't see the punishment as consequences for what he's done, he'll view it as a price and think that since he was punished once for saying shit like this, it would be double jeopardy if he gets in trouble later for doing it again.

These idiots are ridiculously predictable.
