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.
In most jails, "protective custody" for endangered prisoners like ex-cops and child molesters is 23 hours a day solitary confinement with one hour of exercise in a segregated area. Three days of that would crack Trump like an egg.
with one hour of exercise in a segregated area
trump going to sue for human rights violations if they make him exercise...
They're saying he exercises better than anyone, ever. All the exercise experts and scholars.
I was going to be pedantic and explain that 'exercise' just means time out of the cell in an open yard, but heroically restrained myself.
Walking the 100 feet to the yard tho...
He's gonna demand a golf cart.
Remember the first G-8 conference Trump went to, where the rest of the leaders took a nice little stroll and Donnie needed a mobility cart?
I was getting into it with a MAGoo and was told that Trump not walking was a power move that impressed all the other leaders.
His people are nuts.
Just for the exercise
Reminds me of when Bannon said: ‘They’re going to crack Don Junior like an egg on national TV’
Anyway, I think you’re right, Trump Sr. would absolutely lose it in solitary.
I wonder how they handle diapers in jail.
he deadass wants to go to jail. best campaign move ever
Sells albums.
Sells presidencies?
And then cry about how unfair it is.
