What do you do if you're 76 years old and face 91 indictments? Prediction.

Well, what you don't do is follow the law. You have nothing to lose, everything to gain.

So expect Trump's criminal activity to ramp way up.

Everything from witness tampering to encouraging large scale riots is possible.

And because his back is in such a corner, expect the crimes to be more obvious and egregious.

77. Just saying. rsdsharp Aug 2023 #3
He could still get locked up. I think not committing crimes was one of the conditions of his bail Walleye Aug 2023 #4

I don't think this will happen, at least not as blatantly as you predict, because he knows he would be risking immediate jailing.

...but yeah. I actually wonder if he would pull a Budd Dwyer (was that his name?) with all those cameras on him.

Sure Arjuna was likely younger, healthier, happier, wealthier, a real warrior, but when faced with an existential angst from which one wants to escape, the defendant could not do better than a heart to heart with a god of many names and games.
That the dancing blue gender-bender in a dhoti skirt and a flute is not following the rules is no excuse for any 77 YO to do the same.

Book him, Radhe!

Trump's going to spend the rest of his life trying to maintain his control over the Republican party. If he loses next year he'll just run again in 2028.
