7. Trump faces zero criminal legal jeopardy

People are delusional if they think Trump will ever face the threat of jail. It's not going to happen, ex President do not go to jail in the US, period.

The NYC cases will amount to some fines and sanctions at most.

People need to stop fantasizing, Trump does zero time in jail, unless you want Obama to go to jail too. And people will scoff at that, because Obama has committed no conceivable crime and Trump has, but they have to realize for about 40% of the country, Trump going to jail would be just as offensive as Obama going to jail is for us. It would rip this country apart.

If Trump was jailed, the Reps would invent crimes by Obama or Biden and send them to jail somehow too.

No more than it already is. That isn't any more likely an assertion than Trump fleeing the country.

We would burn this country down. If Trump is hauled off to jail, you will see thousands dead in the streets.

These civil war fantasies really need to stop. It's just rhetorical bullshit and we need to stop feeding them.

Besides, comparing Obama to Trump is a false equivalence. Their potential legal liabilities aren't even in the same universe.

But this isn't reality, this is America. If Trump was put in jail 100 million Americans would look at it as a 100% politically motivated imprisonment, they'd view him as Nelson Mandela. And there's a 100% chance if the Reps got Congress and the Senate they'd invent charges for Obama and or Biden and find a way to jail them.

This is what we are living with, the other side would feel the same way about a jailed Trump as we would about a jailed Obama, we have to acknowledge that.

People must remember that repubs no longer(if the ever did) live by 'the rules', or the law.

They would throw Obama et all in jail in a heartbeat for 'trumped up' charges, whereas we go after them for real reasons.

Don't lie 24/7
Don't shove other world leaders out of the way
Don't fire people by Twitter
Don't suggest people inject toxic chemicals
etc.

I'm not sure what the trusim that, "ex President do not go to jail in the US, period." gets you.

He's going to declare he is emperor god of the GOP at CPAC. He's essentially demanding that the GOP recognize him as the 2024 nominee and has stated that he, not Biden is currently in charge of the US. We really need to work to ensure the GOP does not steal the next elections and that all fascists and white supremacists are let go from the military, LE and and appointed (and ideally, elected) positions in government. I hope people like Cruz and Hawley realize that they will not be running in 2028 if somehow Trump is re-elected, because he will never leave office if that happens. The US will become a dictatorship that makes Putin's seem like a girl scout outing. We cannot let this happen.

There has never been any evidence that he's ever seriously considered it. It's just wishful thinking.

Donald Trump's behavior in causing .."riots" quietly destroyed some of his support in my opinion.
If he flees the U.S., far fewer people will care than before the .."riots." Trump incited a riot,
will be an argument against him that will never go away...His language caused a riot that caused
death.

.... That information will be in all of U.S.History, and it will never go away..And no matter what Fox News says, most people will know that Trump's words caused the riots, and that is the truth.

Lastly, if Trump's flees the U.S., a whole lot of people will just say, "Good Riddance."
