I think trump is double-dog-daring the judge to send him to jail

[captain queeg]

In his deluded mind his minions will rise up and revolt. He doesn’t care about anyone else or America. He’d burn it all down to save his own ass. I hope she does put him on the slammer because I don’t think there’ll be anything like open revolution. He’ll be greatly disappointed.

I also think he believes he can get his case in front of the Supreme Court. I think that is also delusional but his low rent strip mall lawyers aren’t able to rein him in.

[republianmushroom]

1. Yep

[brush]

2. I think she'll grant a protective order then if he keeps it up, a gag order, then house arrest.

[riversedge]

3. If this gets to trial-he may scream MIS-trial

[Kid Berwyn]

4. Plus the publicity is boffo for fundraising.

What a showman, that traitor trump.

[2naSalit]

18. Milking it for all he can get out of it.

Pathetic and desperate.

[Kablooie]

5. I expect there could be violence.

But there will be only isolated events and the perpetrators will be arrested.

[Walleye]

6. He can't get it through his head that his liberty is in jeopardy

I think that possibly no one in his life has ever made him do something he didn’t want to do. Not as an adult anyway. And now he can’t even imagine it

[PortTack]

8. Nailed it!

[2naSalit]

19. Most certainly.

[Emrys]

7. If Trump ever gets into a jail as any of us understand the concept,

I give him a week at the outside before he has to be committed to a secure psychiatric institution.

Deprived of Adderall and whatever else he's using to float his boat, with no 24-hour TV for company and no social media as a safety valve, he'll implode.

If he is indeed double-dog-daring, I'd be careful what he wishes for if I were him.

9. FAFO /nt

[dem4decades]

10. He is willing to tear the whole system down, he's a mob boss, with a mob of millions.

As far as I'm concerned, put the motherfucker in jail, if it causes the end of this country so be it, it was over anyways then.

[Midnight Writer]

11. I think he is baiting the judge to react in a way that he can appeal: further delay.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

12. I think you're right,

he's attempting to goad the judge into a decision made in anger, thereby giving him a reason to challenge her impartiality, unfortunately for him, she's far too smart to fall for his childish antics.

[Kennah]

13. Maybe the judge will breach etiquette and triple dog dare him to act up

[Frasier Balzov]

14. He's confusing bombast and recklessness.

If he doesn't understand American institutions well enough to refrain from games like this, then it (1) underscores his lack of fitness to head a governmental institution, and (2) demonstrates his determination to activate those of his followers who are anarchists and vigilantes.

[doc03]

15. I think if he gets sent to jail it will backfire big time. There will be some protests, but Trump

supporters are basically losers, bullies and cowards. When MAGAs see how little real support he has they will
drop him like a hot potato.

[captain queeg]

21. Yep. That's what I think to

But like someone else said she’d probably start with a gag order (following granting the prosecutors current request) before jail time. If he ignores the gag order I don’t see where home confinement would do anything.

[Hortensis]

16. "Homeland Security experts believe he remains a clear and present danger."

How's that for an assessment of an ex- president?

Gag orders seem very doable, and I'm wondering what advantage there could be for HIM in that. His attempts to incite violence are reportedly getting increasingly concerning response on line.

Agree with the rest, though never sure how deluded he is, or how frequently rages take him over. He's shown a great deal of competence at nation-burning demagoguery, thank goodness erratic.

17. FIND OUT time looming in multiple locations and this isn't red flag to the base: 1st class brainwash

TFG gave the worst of the worst the Medal of Freedom!

I saw that FAQ Cheeto Bandito and FIND OUT time is looming Mr. 7-7

He is passed the promised tomorrow threshold!

[milestogo]

20. And she should do it.
