If you think Trump sounds crazy now, wait until it gets closer to the election.

His one horror is going to jail and he knows that one of his convictions, which seems all but certain, will send him there. So he'll do anything to stop it. He'll play performance politics to the hilt. I personally don't think anything he'll do will work.

1. His legal issues do not benefit from his "crazy Donnie" show as much as political goals do. Although they are linked.

His hope is that getting nominated, and hopefully for him, re-elected, will be a get out of jail or at least be a four year delay the consequences play. That won't work for his business fraud trial, but may for the Federal charges and maybe even suspend GA process. Given that, he'll say whatever bats**t crazy stuff he has to for the votes he need.

2. Just listening now to Ruth Ben Ghiiat on

Authoritarianism. She calls deathsanta Fascist Ron. Said banning books on the history of how blacks were treated because they don’t want the kids to feel bad is ridding the kids of having a CONSCIENCE! And that maltreatment of others is OK. We are going down a really rough road. VOTE

3. I believe he'll be convicted of multiple crimes

... however I'm not certain he'll be sentenced to prison. I believe that any judge who has leeway on sentencing will think twice, or even three times, before sentencing Chump to prison. He's more likely to work out some kind of "house arrest" deal, I think.

I just want him completely gagged forever - off the airwaves, no more interviews, no more newspaper stories, no more tweets, no more rallies. That's it, he's done. The first violation means he goes to prison for real.

4. I don't know. He only has the one act

This is essentially the same material as 2016 just recycled. I don’t think it gets crazier because he isn't smart enough to think of new material.
