Do you think we will ever see Trump in jail? Any other Trump?

Think about what an incredible amount of will it will take to put a former president behind bars. He'll be screaming "banana Republic" at the top of his lungs. Exhaustion will take over.

His kids could get in trouble, but likely not for anything remotely political.

Get him out of office as a failure, watch his fake businesses crumble, and the like, are good enough for me right now.

Isn't he already an unindicted co-conspirator in the hush money case that landed Michael Cohen in jail? Violations of federal election law are punishable with jail time. Ask Michael Cohen.
