Will they match the jumpsuit to his skin tone?

They are determined to stop him winning the election It's perfectly obvious.

KnickerlessParsons · 30/05/2024 23:10

The important thing is that he is now a convicted felon so less electable

Some would say that would make him more electable.

It's my understanding that although he is now a convicted felon he will be unlikely to face any jail time and this won't impact his run for presidency. I am quite surprised by this. I honestly would have thought that being a convicted felon should then make anyone ineligible to occupy any position of power, much less the presidency of the United States. I am even more astounded that anyone would then go on to vote for him knowing that he is a convicted criminal. Is anyone on here in the US and can you tell us more about how ordinary American people feel about what is happening.

The founding fathers could never have imagined needing such a statement in the constitution and, until today, it wasn't necessary.

I'd be far more concerned about the hunter Biden laptop and what that has uncovered. Dealings with Ukraine that means the Bidens would have profited from the warm that's actual blood on their hands, but rather than the media exposing it or it being taken seriously, Trump is hounded for this which is nothing in comparison.... bit strange aye.

I suppose a senile man is a better puppet, and preferable to those who pull the strings.

He hasn't escaped prosecution the case is still waiting to go to trial. The wheels of justice turn slowly particularly in the US

Thanks, hadn't grasped this. Given the seriousness I assumed criminal proceedings would already have happened.

Do the MAGA crowd genuinely think he didn't sleep with Stormy?

PuttingOutFirewithGasoline · 30/05/2024 23:02

Good news but we don't know what his punishment will be and he will appeal.

I've just watched his awful post verdict speech and I think this is going to end in wide spread violence

Sadly, I think you may be right. Look at what happened when he lost the last presidential election!

The riot at the Capitol should have been the end of him. I don't understand how he escaped prosecution for inciting the insurrection, and I don't understand how his core supporters didn't see through him for not turning up in person and leading the charge.

He hasn't escaped prosecution the case is still waiting to go to trial. The wheels of justice turn slowly particularly in the US

Anyone thinking Biden is a bad choice next to Trump and what he's got in mind for his second term needs their head examined frankly.

Come on! Hurry up with the other trials already! So many delays!

dapsnotplimsolls · 30/05/2024 22:53

I think he'll get fines rather than jail time. Hopefully the waverers will go for Biden now.

feellikeanalien · 30/05/2024 22:53

He's absolutely awful but sadly all his supporters will see this as a conspiracy to stop him running for president. I do have to say that if I was an American I would be totally disillusioned by the choice of presidential candidates.

Gallowayan · 30/05/2024 22:50

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 30/05/2024 22:16

He could run from a jail cell. Could he serve from a jail cell? Strange times.

He's unlikely to be given a custodial sentance for a first offence, although there are three other criminal trials pending, including the incitement, which lead to storming the Capitol.

The important thing is that he is now a convicted felon so less electable.

I don't think it will help him win the election. Despite what his campaign say, elections are won and lost by the middle. Existing Trump lovers will love him all the more. Floating voters will be turned off.

If the Republican Party chose him as their Presidential candidate, more fool them.

This is correct

Sure his diehard followers don't care but polls showed something like 25% of Republicans would not vote for him if convicted
