It seems very, very unlikely that Trump is ever going to spend a day in jail. But if there is any judge who might put him there, it seems like this might be the one to do it.
The judge is a genius for saying he would be arrested for not showing up in court. Now he won’t be able to do camping events. I thought he would lose before that, but now it’s pretty obvious he isnt going to beat Joe. 🥰
As long as he comes out of this a convicted felon, it’s a win. I doubt he’ll ever spend a day in jail but I’d be ok with Mar O Lago becoming his own prison or something similar where he has no internet access and no public interactions
So.. this is pretty much a documents case when you come right down to it, and the prosecutors have those documents. They really don’t even have much more of a case to make than “look at this” “Then Trump did this and this” Here’s why that’s illegal.
The defense doesn’t really have the option to challenge the facts of what happened. That’s established. The majority of their defense is what you see here. Trying to pick jurors who will not vote to convict Trump. Filing endless motions to delay. Trying to get the case thrown out on highly questionable grounds… etc etc.
But they have to do all of that in front of this judge, who clearly is not interested in any flavor of bullshit they have available.
Good luck Donnie.
He’s not gonna see prison time. I’d love to be wrong, but I just don’t think it’s in the cards. But I would be shocked if he isn’t convicted on most of the counts. And in the meantime, he’s going to be stuck in this courthouse 4 days out of 7 every week for months. And a large double digit percentage of Republicans and Independents have said they won’t vote for Trump if he’s convicted.
Time for maga to man the keyboards and whine, complain and make threats because the “two tiered justice system” that shielded trump for decades isn’t bending to his wishes.
It blows my mind that these people who support him through thick and even thicker have no sense of not only who they are supporting but what he also did, when trump said
“they are coming after you, i’m just in their way, i’m being indicted for you and if it can happen to me, it can happen to you”
they were simple enough to buy into that bs.
For the Q delusionals trying to understand the deranged buffoon’s courtroom sleep cycles:
*”Donald John Trump”* rearranged yields *”Nod. Nap. Jolt! Duh.”*
Rinse repeat.
The answers are all there if you know where to look.
I approve of this judge.
Keep up the losing streak Donny. We know you are really good at it.
Sorry but not optimistic about justice. 1/2 of the people in America are still worshipping this PutinJrtrump orange Jesus. Think about the people from coward conservatives to republican voters who’s agenda like not outlawing assault weapons are still around
This is going to take 4 months for jury selection alone. I’ll lose all my hair by then.
“What he meant, Blanche clarified, was that the GOP presidential candidate is opposed to having this historic trial in the middle of an election year. But Merchan was having none of it. He warned the Trump team that he’d already chucked aside those complaints—and that they shouldn’t be brought up again.”
If famed defense attorney Jerry Gallo can be held in contempt for improper attire, Blanche could be held in contempt for ignoring a judge’s ruling.
This may be as close to justice served that well see. I have little faith in the justice system prosecuting and incarcerating him so I’m glad hes in court . Second best place he could be.

> “We aren’t even even supposed to be here,” Blanche said in the last few minutes of the day
Weirdest Clerks sequel I’ve ever seen.
His health and stress levels will not allow him to last the duration of this case (some very good people are saying).
You won’t sit at the defendants table in a criminal court if you just OBEY THE LAW. Asshole.
He only needs one person in the jury right? I don’t know how it’s possible that there isn’t one Trumper in that jury.
Still waiting for any actual consequences to come out of ANYTHING…. Any day now.
I don’t think he’s going to survive sitting in court 4/7 days of the week and trying to campaign on the off days.
I fully expect him to get away with it just like every other trial, only way to win is defeat him in the polls.
For a moment I thought the graphic red background was the result of a Trump tantrum by throwing his Spag Bog and tomato sauce lunch at the courtroom wall… as in his old White House days!
The judge is absolutely playing until he is sentenced.
Imagine you’ve convinced yourself that you’re the Emperor of the Universe. You walk around like you’re some Sith Lord come to life. Then one Monday you are remanded to a stuffy little courtroom that’s smaller than one of your golden toilets. And you can’t leave. You’re back at school with an annoyed teacher telling you what the rules are. You’ve spent your entire life coloring outside the lines but now you can’t.
Ha ha. Cheer up Donald. Actual prison will be worse.
Day 2: Trump confesses on live TV outside the court house.
>I was paying a lawyer and marked it down as a legal expense. Some accountant, I didn’t know, marked it down as a legal expense. That’s exactly what it was… So check it out. It’s called legal expense
This is an open and shut case, Johnson. Predicted to be one month long, then a week or so for conviction, and even if there’s no jail time, court must find that he broke several federal laws, which would/should make him ineligible to run for the highest office in this land.
He’s a coward. So he’ll commit suicide, run like Diddy, or die cuz he’s a fat pharmaceutically -enhanced slob 🤞 ill take any of the above
I don’t have any faith anything will come from this. I hope to be pleasantly surprised, but at this rate, I’m expecting them to hand him a piece of paper that says “slap on the wrist” and ask him very nicely to self administer while he advocates for stochastic terrorism on every judge, jury, and typewriter and their families. After someone dies, there will be some extra handwringing, and then, still, nothing else will happen.
I’ll believe it when the jury actually votes him guilty. He has weasled out of punishment his entire life
Well trump, there’s always 2028….if you are still among the living of course
I hope he flees the country and ends up with his buddy Putin. They make a lovely couple. The baboon in Siberia and Putin in Moscow
