No one's ever won from a jail cell before. There was a guy who ran while in jail but he didn't win.

What a choice, from such a vast country. A criminal senior and a senior with questionable mental capacity.

Both candidates are criminals

Boom! Prison next, I hope!

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 30/05/2024 22:33

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'll still be president

Yes

This will boost his popularity

Awful man

Biden not much better

That's three cases lost - Jean Carroll, business fraud and now Stormy Daniels.

Cheer up Donny, only 10 trials to go!!!

Trouble is, this is all still proving his "importance" in the world .
He's a narcissist (obviously) and all this will do is make him feel even more important and even more dangerous and I do suspect he will still get elected.
The only good thing is the Libertarians booed him off stage. Many of them would have been his core voters so I'm glad they have seen through him.
Still though he will stoke the fire, manipulate his supporters and feed into their fears into thinking this ruling means "they'" will be after them as well.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 30/05/2024 22:30

Looking back at his presidential term, it's like a fever dream. He'd say or do something outrageous in the morning and by afternoon that would be forgotten because he'd said or done something even worse.

So we have the election here on the 4th, and then Trump sentencing one week later on the 11th. I may have to start drinking and smoking again.

I’m not a fan of T

Just finding it funny…

Isn’t it a discrepancy that some other high profile person was investigated for over 10 years by the FBI who could not find evidence and was declared not guilty by the court but still a lot of people think they are guilty and the system is rigged?

Double standards?

US Supreme Court Justices? Maybe Amy is on mumsnet. They are a disgrace. Separation of powers my arsehole.

Whenever I think about what he did to the Court, I want to cry, seriously

I don’t really see the appeal of Trump, even to the right-wing lunatic fringe. He’s utterly charmless. He’s the total opposite of a magnetic demagogue. He can barely string a coherent sentence together.

There is a lot of serious basis for considering MAGA a cult, not a regular political movement. If you think of him as a cult leader, it makes more sense. I mean, not sense, but it helps explain why someone who seems so ludicrous to everyone else can attract this fervid support.

ChannelLightVessel · 30/05/2024 22:27

Ratsoffasinkingsauage · 30/05/2024 22:27

He is not even vaguely charismatic. Not one iota. Who is the frilly heck finds him relatable or persuasive- idiots and liars.

Cottagepiefortea · 30/05/2024 22:27

Delighted, but I think it’s a hollow victory.

He’s not going to prison and will be in the white house before the end of the year.

Willyoujustbequiet · 30/05/2024 22:26

Absolutely delighted.

I dare to think there is hope for America yet. Well done those brave men and women of the jury.

Agreed. He is unspeakably loathsome.

I dunno how I feel about it. So many bad things could still come out of this.

Seems like the jury considered the case carefully and I wish them well.

Don't forget there are other political leaders who have been tried and convicted, jailed, and even executed.

Gandhi
Hitler
Mandela
and I hate to say it... Jesus Christ.

They all had good hair though.

HarryPottersScar · 30/05/2024 22:24

If he does become president, can he pardon himself?

He is very unlikely to go to jail I would think. They are low level felonies and he's old.

GordonBlue · 30/05/2024 22:23

FrogandTrumpet · 30/05/2024 22:22

It’s nice to see he’s taken it on the chin though.

Lol.

He really is a whiny wee cock, isn't he.
