Avoiding prison is the real reason why he’s running. Unfortunately, win or lose, Trump won’t go to prison. He will soon need “Assisted Care” 24/7.

Win or lose, #DonOld isn’t going to the White House, neither to prison.

Trump is going to a Long Term Care Facility.

1. I thought one went to prison after being convicted of a crime nt

[Lonestarblue]

2. Even if convicted, this SC will find an excuse to help him avoid prison.

4. I wouldn't be so sure about that. He would no longer be in a position to do anything to or for them.

3. Why is no one (outside DU) discussing that the most disliked VP nom is the REAL R candidate for President?

How is this not even a discussion point?

9. It is being discussed on black twitter

5. Not acceptable

They are lovely. He will have his phone and can spend all day and night posting lies and misinformation to his cult. In fact, not much in his life will change except possibly his diapers, more often. House arrest seems more likely than actual prison, but again without his damn phone or computer. I agree that if he wins, which he won't, he will not be in the WH. They will 25th amendment his ass out of there immediately and install Vance.

6. I assume if Trump loses

His lawyers will try to use a non-mentally competent defense to keep him our of jail.

7. As much as it galls me, Trump may very well not be competent to stand trial anymore

It would be so fucking disgusting for Trump to evade full punishment that way. But even if he's institutionalized rather than jailed, it could well be argued that it's a national security risk for a former president with insufficient control of his faculties to be allowed unlimited communication with the public, as he might leak confidential information.

13. LOL -- But competent to run for president. What a country . . .

That is all.

[RidinWithHarris]

16. It's ironic, but, in a way, it would be stranger...

...to make candidates for office submit to a mental health evaluation before they could run for office. Even if such a requirement could be implemented without dangerous pitfalls, it would take amending the Constitution to make it work.

18. Would he be desperate enough to make court appearances in a wheelchair?

Authoritarian types don't like appearing weak, but he's also familiar with the stereotype of the aging mafioso facing a jury from a wheelchair, plaid blanket over the legs, and on portable oxygen. Would Donny put in the extra effort?

8. Fine with me. Then Jarvanka

10. TFG will flee the country if he losses

TFG is running for POTUS to stay out of prison

TFG last night discussed fleeing to Venezuela if he losses

Legal experts jumped on Trump suggesting a trip to Venezuela, especially given his status as a convicted criminal awaiting sentencing.

“Trump is a convicted felon to be sentenced in a month and he’s talking about fleeing to a country that refuses US extradition requests,” observed MSNBC legal analyst Kristy Greenberg, a former SDNY Criminal Division Deputy Chief. “Anyone else would be in jail. Trump is showing yet again that he isn’t amenable to Probation’s supervision and must be sentenced to jail time.”

There are countries where TFG could flee which do not have an extradition treaty with the US

If TFG loses, TFG will do what he can to avoid jail.

12. He might try his luck in Uncle Vlad's country.

Of course, if he goes there he may catch the gravity flu.

11. The campaign ads keep making themselves

for Harris/Walz!

14. Is that supposed to be a threat? Or a promise? nt

17. I'm Kamala Harris and I approve this message
