Trump is trying to get thrown in jail. His court appearance donation bumps are slowing, and he can’t campaign or fundraise properly. His only chance to avoid prosecution is to win the election. Throwing Trump in jail for tweeting will energize his base.
Meanwhile, letting him rant on “Failing” Truth Social every night then get fined $1,000 by the judge every morning makes him look petty.
Someone else here on Lemmy suggested community service instead of jail time. It sure would be funny to see Trump in a high-vis vest picking up trash along some road. Maybe one day per gag order violation?
I would happy cry if this happened
It can’t happen though. Community service is an act that requires cooperation. He would need to buy in, which he won’t. He’d wear the orange jumpsuit and continue to campaign from the side of the highway. He’d never pick up a single bit of trash, he’d smile for cameras.
Cool, so then he’s never actually going to complete it and would have to be out there every day doing nothing and looking (more) like a criminal.
I’d still pay to see him forced to degrade himself and be cajoled by DoC thugs to pick up trash. Even if he never did, the damage to his ego would be worth the wasted time.
He’d be looking more like a martyr every day. He’d get constant attention from his supporters and more opportunities to address the public than he currently has now. As much as it could hurt him, It really has as much chance to backfire and help him.
He’d never pick up a single bit of trash
With those hands?
I’ll see myself out
What’s the intended response here, chief? I’m genuinely stumped by your contribution.

He said, unnecessarily
You’re not the person I meant to respond to
Just a reality check.
You were protecting me from a passing fancy. Got it. Thanks for keeping the fediverse safe.
What was the point of this reply?
Just love the idea
40 hours per violation
I’m not sure that it’s true, there are a lot of people who are undecided who have said they will not vote for him if convicted, no matter how energized he makes his base
I can’t even begin to imagine the life experience and mental gymnastics it would take to still be undecided at this point.
His base supporters, I get. They want a dictator. They don’t care how we get there. No amount of criminal convictions are going to change their mind.
But for the rest of the people, how is it even possible to still be undecided. The wannabe dictator has made it crystal clear his intentions to become a dictator.

No common sense and blind faith in The System™?
There are a lot of people out there who do not care at all about politics and live in a bubble
People are always trying to find the super secret plan behind trumps actions. Hes a dumb old fuck who just does things.
Prove it
If only laws applied to the wealthy or connected 😓
“This type of behavior is never tolerated in Barraqua. You talk about judge like that? Right to jail. Right away.”
I’ve seen lots of speculation that Trumbo is trying to get himself thrown in jail for the publicity of it all. It would result in a huge fundraising boost and conservative outrage, even if just for a short while, and no one wants to give him the satisfaction.
Call his fucking bluff.
In jail, no phone, no internet, no interviews. The only way he’d get to talk to the public is though his lawyer, who is accountable to tell the truth when discussing details of the case.
Unsure that would happen… Lots of undecided out there who care about the rule of law and have said in polls if he was convicted they would not vote for him. I think it’s delusion and wishful thinking on his part
Lock him the fuck up already.
Preferably, max security prison, brick over the entrance, cover in sound insulation… more bricks followed by a giant pour of bank vault mix.
This is just to show that the judge won’t put him in jail for any reason at all. Rules don’t apply to the (even fake) wealthy like they do normal folk.
The man is an absolute senile punkass twat
What happens when someone finds out that there are no consequences to ones actions. He’s basically a child!
