80. If he goes to jail now or if he ends up getting convicted
Tue Apr 2, 2024, 09:40 PM
Apr 2024

in one of the criminal trials(if he finally has to go on trial), some of his freak followers will riot no matter when it happens. So does he get away with everything he did just because everyone is too afraid of what he will do?

Even if we win the election by a landslide do we think he and his mob just going to go away quietly and not cause trouble then too?

At some point someone has to gather the courage to draw a line in the sand and declare enough is enough and confront this head on.
