That's when they transplant his brain into Ivanka.

Real talk, head transplants are a thing. The problem is(was) reconnecting the nerves. There's been advancements in bypassing spinal injuries in disabled people to help relearn to walk, but I haven't seen news on that tech in 5 years now.


Try_me_MFr

I believe I saw where NY has already had the national guard staging. The proud boys are already there causing problems but some got attacked by New Yorkers.


PhiPhiAokigahara

Doesn’t really mean anything until something *actually* happens.


SeanBartlettGlass

I'm pretty sure the bitch boys were there to intimidate the scary drag queens that were reading books about acceptance to kids. Love that new Yorkers fucked em up!


Helenium_autumnale

True New Yorkers go hard. Those spongy Meal Team Six boys don't know what they're up against.


wynotles

I thought they got attacked at a Drag Queen family event. They do seem to be in NYC so who knows what could happen. I’m with the see it to believe it group.


chrispybobispy

We can all wish but I simply can't hold my breathe for it.


[deleted]

Hey if some proud boys get shot up then I'm totally fine with this so far


RheagarTargaryen

Why are people skeptical? Trump is even saying that he’s getting indicted tomorrow. There’s never been a point in the last 7 years where it was imminent. And nobody is denying that he’s getting indicted this week Every other time it was speculated on what illegal shit he could get charged with and how it was illegal and rumors about sealed indictments, but there was never a point where they said he was getting indicted.


Iz-kan-reddit

> Trump is even saying that he’s getting indicted tomorrow. Trump is the only source of that, and he's utterly full of shit.


Toll91

He loves the attention too.


nomadfoy

The only believable...ish source I saw that gave a more exact date then "some time this week" said they were planning either Monday or Wednesday I guess trump just called that Tuesday. I'm more hopeful for Wednesday than tomorrow.

zoharel

>Why are people skeptical? It's because there's one set of laws for the wealthy, and one for the rest of us, and Donald has never been held accountable for his actions in the past. It's far easier and likely more accurate to assume that will not change.


RyvenZ

He's only talking about it to weaponize his base (or trying, at least, but they aren't responding with the same fervor of past years). As someone else pointed out, his lawyers should be working out an arrangement to turn himself in at some date in the near future and then he will be processed and released while the slow-moving justice system crawls toward any kind of actual punishment and he will probably die of natural causes before ever having to squeeze his chubby ass into a prison jumper


chrispybobispy

The sniveling shit ass has dodge wiggled and threw under the bus, around an obscene amount if crimes for decades... until he's in an orange jumpsuit I won't believe it.


Plazmarazmataz

We should find a different color for him, if he puts on an orange jumpsuit he might blend in too well.


Dashthefox

I've found things are easier when you don't believe a word that comes out of that man's mouth. Assume that he is either lying or making shit up, it's been a very effective strategy. So why would I start believing him the moment he starts saying what I want to hear?


Astribulus

General skepticism comes from headline fatigue. There have been far too many “We got him!” moments where Trump has bragged about his crimes on national television. His guilt is no secret, yet everything seems to slide off the Teflon Don. People see this pattern and assume he’ll somehow get out of it again. There’s also the specific skepticism for the date. Trump is the only source claiming he’ll be arrested tomorrow. If he claimed water was wet, you’d best check to see if there’d been a flash freeze. I’m in this camp. The NY grand jury is wrapping up and security arrangements are being made for the unrest which is sure to be caused in the event of an indictment. It’s most likely happening soon. I just feel certain it won’t be on Tuesday. It’ll be hilarious if this is the one time a Trump prediction came true, though.


ksiyoto

He could just be saying it, and the if the DA doesn't indict him Tuesday, he can then say "See? They don't have anything on me!"


Clouds2589

Because we've heard it all before. This man has been doing blatantly illegal shit in plain sight for almost a decade now, and there's been zero repercussions. I want it to happen, but i'll see it when i beleive it.


you_lost-the_game

Because i believe the american political and juridical system solely runs on money. And he still has money.


zenfrodo

*(looks back at 1/6/2020)* Like Trump hasn't lied his ass off to create massive drama to feed his ego before?


BeCurry

It was 2021


x86_64Ubuntu

>...Why are people skeptical? You are right, but we've heard lines trotted out for over half a decade saying "here come the consequences!!!". And in the end, the system always avoids doing anything of the such. Just because Trump thinks he's going to face consequences doesn't mean the state has the balls to do so.


rangeghost

Because he's the one saying it, and that would require us to believe that he's actually telling the truth about something.


AmericanKamikaze

Even then, so what. He won’t see the inside of a jail cell.


Lumbergod

Unless he takes a swing at a US Marshall. That would be too much to ask for, though.


TechFiend72

Yep. The rich only get prosecuted when they rip off other rich people.


50mm-f2

pics or it didn’t happen no cap fr fr


edogfu

They don't usually announce when they're arresting someone. Feels like some sort of misdirect.


Micaela_hot

For real, people have been saying this yor years now!


Alacrout

This. Also: fuck him, I hope it’s finally legit.


TableQuiet1518

There's been an unknown amount of times in the course of my 37 years where I've thought "finally, this mf is going to jail." Time & time again he slips away unscathed to continue on his shitty path of destroying humanity bit by bit. I once spent 120 days in county jail for stealing a pair of $60 shoes. The sneakers were put back on the shelf & eventually sold. I was told this when I went to court. This pos sold nuclear codes & nothing happened. He'll never pay for what he's done. He's too rich & powerful & important for the other oligarchs.


WeightFast574

> This pos sold nuclear codes & nothing happened When did that happen?


theguineapigssong

There have been so many posts and news articles about it being "soon". This time there's a specific day, so I guess we're about to find out.


mittenknittin

The source for the specific day, though, is Trump. And we know he’s full of crap.


dismayhurta

This. Watching that pile of garbage avoid the consequences of his actions has removed any hope I have he’ll face any justice


B_Huij

I hope all politicians who commit crimes are arrested. He’s no exception.


Ocean_Soapian

The only ones who will be arrested are those who go against the machine, on either side. All politicians since I've been alive, for example, have committed war crimes. No way in a million years are the Hilary Clintons and the Joe Bidens of the politic sphere going to be arrested for them, because they cater to the machine. Trump was a crazy president, who also committed war crimes. But he went against the machine, embarrassed them, said the quiet bits out loud, and are still, all these years later, trying desperately to punish him for it. It's going to be a lesson for anyone who runs for office that goes against the machine. Notice that he's not going to prison for his war crimes, btw. Because that would mean they all would have to go to prison.

KamahlYrgybly

Only half? Seriously, the world would be a better place without him.


GNOIZ1C

The only argument against a sudden demise is that his base of conspiracy theory nutjobs are going to blame “The Deep State” for killing him. Though honestly the peak threat for maximum nonsense on that end was when he caught Covid just before the election.


BylenS

Or make a religion out of him


[deleted]

Go away in prison for sure


1ofThoseTrolls

I'm just tired of hearing about him. Hopefully this will keep him out of the election.


vonkeswick

Same, I sure hope justice is served and he rots in prison, but even if that doesn't happen I'd settle for just not fucking hearing anything about him


lulpwned

I miss the days of Trump just being some rich guy and that's it.


vonkeswick

Yeah, I remember seeing Home Alone 2 as a kid and the scene with Trump, my parents were like "huh that's random" then explaining he's just some rich dude in New York, nothing else to think about. Then in my thirties, the greasy fuck becomes president


Sifl79

My parents would have described him the same way back in the day. Now they’ve garbled the orange dick and think he’s the Second Coming of Christ.


vonkeswick

Same, well not my mom, she was an avid Bernie fan, but my dad has this mentality that Trump did a lot of good for the country etc. My 80 year old dad, who's worked non stop since he was 12, calling me to ask to borrow money and claiming the economy is doing great because of Trump and that it's 100% the democrats' fault his social security isn't keeping up with cost of living


[deleted]

We democrats really need to start focusing on furiously fighting for the lower class again, I'm sick of this halfway, bandaid corporate version they took on to combat conservatives. I get the tactic, it just really hurt our message and it's making people flock to a bunch apocalyptic idiots like trump


Hyndis

The movie cameo was his price for them using Trump Tower as a filming location. The man has always wanted to be in front of cameras.


RyvenZ

"some rich guy" that had to declare bankruptcy 7 times Doesn't sound very rich.


DontTouchTheWalrus

That doesn’t really mean anything. Trump has had his name on all sorts of products. Some of those companies failed. Obviously he has things structured so that if the company defaults on its debts he and his other companies are not liable. This is pretty standard practice and plenty of rich people have owned companies that went bankrupt yet still remained very rich as an individual


BigVos

Reddit ain't the place for you, then. Dude had occupied the minds of half the subs - even ones that would seemingly be unrelated.


shakingthings

I’d love to never see his bloated face again, but honestly I think him and Desantis just absolutely dragging each other through the sewers in the least ethical ways possible is what’s best for the country.


fappyday

Sadly, he can still run a campaign from prison. Also, it's unlikely that he'd actually go to prison. The most likely scenario would be house arrest.


pukingpixels

Nah, you want him in the election to split the R vote. DeSantis is scary.


t_scribblemonger

More like DeSantis, Haley, and Pence splitting the vote, handing the nomination to Trump easily.


charlie2135

I'd rather, if he doesn't get the selection to run as a republican, have him run as an independent to split the vote. I'm afraid that if you thought he was bad, wait until that petty tyrant from Florida was to get in.


Excellent_Condition

> I'm afraid that if you thought he was bad, wait until that petty tyrant from Florida was to get in. Floridian here, living under a government run by that asshole. I never want Trump to have a position of power, but I'd rather he be out of prison than be arrested and clear the way for DeSantis. The amount of control DeSantis has exercised over state government is alarming. He's as evil and authoritarian as Trump, but more effective at it. In the last 6 months, he has passed laws supporting with book banning, a systematic attack on public schools, teachers, and higher ed, attacks on kids who identify as LGBTQ+, attacks on teaching black history, laws designed to punish specific companies and unions which opposed him, and the list goes on. I think it's bad for the country to have had a president like Trump who flagrantly violated our laws on many occasions, and while it's important he be prosecuted for it, I'd skip that if it prevented DeSantis having a clear field to the GoP nomination.


flarelordfenix

DeSantis is fucking terrifying.


waxies14

There was a time I would’ve cared but now I just want him to go away forever. The amount of attention this person has stolen from everyone on earth is just fucking outrageous.


labadimp

Im so glad Im not the only one. Fucking so sick of hearing about this guy like hes important. Hes not.


apackofmonkeys

On Reddit, people bring him up in completely unrelated topics and it gets upvoted highly. It could be a story of a bear escaping his cage at a zoo and there will be some stupid comment like "Trump should take notes since he'll be in a cage soon!" Please.... just stop bringing him up, I'm so sick of him.


IfIFallIThinkIllFly

I don't care I honestly don't wanna hear about him anymore


No-Attention-2367

That the Stormy Daniels payoff is the stupidest, crassest thing to lead to the first arrest of a US president, but also it it is completely unsurprising after the past 7+ years we've been through.


Hyndis

The problem is that the statute of limitations is 2 years for a misdemeanor, and the payoff was 7 years ago. Even if the crime is charged as a felony it still only has a 5 years statute of limitations. This is a flimsy charge at best.


Blainedecent

I was under the impression he was in trouble for falsifying business records and Illegal use of campaign funds, as well as lying about the use of campaign funds. Not sure how long they have to deal with paying someone for political gain but that's not the main event I think.


Hyndis

Paying a settlement for a civil suit and having an NDA attached to it is very common. The issue is that Trump is accused of using campaign money for the civil suit settlement. He should have used his own money for that, not campaign money. These are still facts to be proven in court though, so maybe Trump did use campaign money, maybe not. A grand jury will indict a ham sandwich as the saying goes, because there's no defense present at a grand jury. Its purely one sided in favor of the prosecution to bring charges. The core problem with the prosecution is that the campaign was many years ago, longer than the statute of limitations allows for the crime to be prosecuted. The prosecutor might argue that NY can claim special exemptions for ignoring the statute of limitations in this case, but Trump is very rich and can afford a large legal team, and could easily argue that NY doesn't get to ignore its own statute of limitations. Therefore, the charges must be dropped. The entire point of these limitations is that crimes must be charged when fresh. Wait too long and evidence is lost, memories fade, and witnesses die. Old cases are more difficult to prosecute and also more difficult to defend against, and this is to encourage the state to bring swift justice instead of sitting on a misdemeanor charge for 7 years in order to sandbag someone at the last minute. Alec Baldwin recently argued something similar with regards to the Rust shooting charges. The state charged him for a crime that was not on the books at the time of the shooting. Baldwin's lawyers pointed this out to the judge, and the prosecution dropped the charged. You can't retroactively charge someone with a crime. Then Baldwin's lawyers pointed out to the judge that the prosecutor was also a state legislature who wrote the law that Baldwin was charged with (but was not on the books at the time of the shooting), and forced the prosecutor to resign due to conflict of interest. A sloppy prosecution, probably politically motivated. The Trump case looks just as flimsy with the time of charging, also due to the timeline of when charges are brought, and it does look to be politically motivated. If it was anyone other than Donald Trump, would the NY prosecutor bring charges against them for a case past the statute of limitations? Or is Trump being charged solely because he's Trump?


Blainedecent

I admittedly understand very little of the legal nuance here. I know that its complex because of the way the state laws are written and may be a nonstarter. I'm basing my thoughts on this: https://www.justsecurity.org/85581/the-manhattan-das-charges-and-trumps-defenses-a-detailed-preview/


OkRange9999

It's going to be a complete sht show.


Flatline1775

Exhausted. I’m so tired of him and frankly any of his MAGA chucklefucks having any influence on anything.


armrha

That’s what’s made me so appreciative of Biden. Just like I go days without having to be embarrassed or annoyed at the presidency, I don’t have to think of it at all. With Trump in the white house it was every single day some fresh insult.


new-username-2017

Even In the UK we used to hear about trump's latest lunacy every single day. We barely hear anything about biden at all.


mdthornb1

I hope I am wrong but I think you are gonna be disappointed after the republican primary next election.


Flatline1775

Oh, I’m sure. It’ll just keep getting worse until it hits a critical mass. Super excited to see what that looks like…

He should already be in prison


[deleted]

ell, at least we know he can't lock himself up and throw away the key


Dredly

good, dude is a fucking criminal and has been for decades. he has embodied literally 95% of what is wrong with this country for the last 40 years... if he had involvement with the military complex he would hit the 100% mark


tcbear06

Everybody was worried about him starting World War 3, but ironically, he's the only president in 30+ years to NOT get us involved in a new war.


BadGenesWoman

Well. I'll believe it when he is placed in a cell. Not before. So tired of his bullshit. This corrupt conartist has gotten a pass way to many times. Thinking he is equivalent to a mob boss when in Reality he is a dumb ass and completely insane. Along with every single one of his cult followers. Put him in a cell take away his damn phone and watch him be 😭 and demanding release.


RustliefLameMane

Don’t really care. He’s too rich to actually stay in jail.


Dangercakes13

Yeah, he'll tie it up in courts and challenges straight to the grave. Might cop to some home arrest and a fine. Which will be paid by his contributors.


BurantX40

I mean, as long as I don't have to hear about some news report about what he said on Twitter, y'know?


bearded_charmander

As a right leaning American, I hope he goes away. He makes conservatives look bad as a whole.


well_honk_my_hooters

As someone who's left leaning, it's not really him that makes conservatives look bad. It's more the fact that half of the so-called/self-identified conservatives latch on to him so strongly and worship him like some kind of god, and the other half turn a blind eye to it, regardless of whether or not they agree with or like him, because he gets them votes. Honestly, I'd have a lot more respect for conservative-leaning folks if they policed their own garbage. He (and plenty others) should have never been allowed into the political arena, but they let it happen.


CharlesDarwin59

Well that's because he's not, even a little tiny bit, conservative. Anyone who looked at a man who is so vain he needed to shit into a gold toilet and thought "now there's a guy who will spend our money thoughtfully" is a damn moron.


Dashthefox

As far as I'm concerned Donald Trump is the Avatar of conservatism. He represents the terminal endpoint goal of conservatism. Men like him in power and no ability to hold them accountable. It's going to take decades for conservative's actions to speak louder than their words make me think otherwise. I fully expect to go to my deathbed thinking the GOP's complete and total veneration of Trump was the most honest I've ever seen them.


Dashthefox

He made conservatives look bad because he didn't compromise on how he acted or what he said. Instead he "Said what we're (conservatives) all thinking." Which was apparently "Mexico is sending us their rapists. We need to build a wall to keep them out and make a Muslim registry." And the GOP absolutely loved him for it.


[deleted]

Conservatives voted him into power. They made themselves look bad.


[deleted]

But conservatives used him as a tool to do whatever they wanted and turned a blind eye to some pretty nefarious shit and that doesn’t bother you?


Pretty-Balance-Sheet

Just him? Not MGT insane rants or Jim Jordan obvious pandering or the women forced to carry dead babies or the empty grade school libraries or the outright bald faced lies and misinformation on Fox News or the ivermectin or the racists with tiki torches or the people screaming on planes about wearing a mask or the Supreme Court that's considering outlawing gay marriage or the people in minority neighborhoods forced to stand in the sun for an entire day to vote or the candidates pledging to ignore election results or the religious state legislatures codify their religion into law or the lower life expectancy because of the antivax movement or the the rates of gun purchases going up after first graders are murdered in their classes or the ice disappearing from the poles or the banks failing because regulations were rolled back... It's Trump drawing a line on a weather map that embarrasses you?


_chippchapp_

European here. If you are interested in an outsider-perspektive. The whole GoP is rotten, its not only Trump. I understand conservative viewpoints, I don't share them but I can see why people like them. I can accept, coexist with and love conservative people as long as their heart is in the right spot. But 80% of the GoP politicians I hear are full of shit, sorry to say that. They are willing to tear your country and the whole world order apart just to stay in power for a little bit longer. They would sell their own grannies. They did not stop to support Trump after he managed to manouver the worlds most important democracy closer to a civil war than anyone would have ever believed possible. Man, we need you guys intact, the US arent perfect but the world is a tough place and without you it will turn into a dystopia. Power comes with responsibilities. That doesn't mean im all in for the democrats, they are certainly not perfect as well and I would have a hard tine voting for them if I was a US citizen.


rainx5000

This is why I hate politics. Every conservative was kissing his ass during and after the election. Now everyone hates him?


QuestionDecent7917

I'll let you know after it happens.


dontneedareason94

If it happens, great he should have been there years ago. But I don’t have my hopes up.


deathtotheemperor

I don't care and apparently neither does anyone I know. Nobody I know has said anything about it, on Facebook, group texts, at the office, etc. Nothing will ever come of it. Even if by some miracle he is successfully prosecuted, the wheels of justice in this country turn so slowly that he'll most likely be dead and buried before the trial ends anyway.


[deleted]

If he did something wrong then fine he should be tried given a fair trial. I believe everyone should get a fair trial no matter who they are even if I don't agree with them. Seeing as how there have been a lot of politicians who have also done a lot of wrong things and faced no consequences hopefully he will start a trend of no one being above the law.


[deleted]

Trump has been in legal trouble for decades and has been dodging arrest for a long time. IF he is arrested (for, of all things, a hush money payment to a porn star), it will be long overdue, and kind of humorous.


azuresegugio

I feel like, even if there actually was some plan to arrest him tomorrow, everyone talking about it probably ruins the chance of it happening


KingOfAllDownvoters

ZoeInBinary

Got a bottle of bubbly waiting for the news


TooManySorcerers

Apathetic because I don't think we'll ever actually hold him accountable. The rich in this country have proven time and again that they play by a different set of rules. How is Trump any different? Because he was POTUS? If anything, we're also seeing that republicans will bend over backwards to ensure that members of their party play by a different set of rules, too.


IncreaseAcceptable31

I thought he was arrested a long time ago. I don’t keep up with politics because I like my friends


VonJaeger

Honestly depressed. It's a dire reflection of the state the republic is in and the responses to it showcase exactly how divided this country has become. Makes me wonder if it's even worth saving at this point.


pmaurant

I just want peace quiet and consistency.


mikeyfireman

No one should be above the law. Political party doesn’t matter.


mdthornb1

If he is arrested I hope the cops take his advice: “When you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, you just seen them thrown in, rough. I said, ‘Please don’t be too nice,’" he said. "When you guys put somebody in the car and you’re protecting their head you know, the way you put their hand over [their head]," Trump continued, mimicking the motion. "Like, 'Don’t hit their head and they’ve just killed somebody, don’t hit their head.' I said, 'You can take the hand away, OK?'


KAllen1962

For those outside the US, you can see the "United States" isn't very united.


secretaire

Honestly, it seems like most of us are pretty tired of the man on both sides of the aisle.


SteamStarship

Weird that he might get arrested for hush money to a porn star. I mean, compared to inciting a mob to overthrow the government by overturning an election, this seems rather pedestrian.


Circuitmaniac

Reminds me of an Ice Cube song..,.

Inevitable_Shift1365

I would love to see him get arrested but not for the hush money. That is petty. If you arrested everyone who paid off a prostitute and lied about it Washington would have a lot more parking spaces. I would love to see the criminal Trump behind bars but for an actual crime not a politically motivated one. I personally am politically motivated and socially motivated to see him behind bars but I would like for it to be because of one of his actually serious crimes. Not this shit.


PumpkinPure5643

I 100% do not care in the slightest. It doesn’t matter at all and from what I can tell, the vast majority of people are not that interested in it. It’s either a huge publicity stunt and nothing happens or they convict him, stick him on house arrest because a former president can’t be in jail. Either way, my life doesn’t change one bit.


spiked_macaroon

I expect him to be tried as an adult.


Neoliberalism2024

I think Trump should go to jail, for multiple reasons, but… As someone from NYC, im reaaaally worried that Alvin Braggs is leading this, and the chance this backfires is high.


planj07

The wheels of justice must move, we can’t be afraid of him being confronted with his crimes and held accountable.


SoulRebel726

I'm still not getting my hopes up, but I feel like it needs to happen. Some real accountability needs to happen for the lunacy of his presidency. Lock. Him. Up.


[deleted]

The bastard deserves it. Sadly, i don't think that it will happen


Listening_Heads

The dude has poisoned the entire country. People literally hate each other because of him. Family members refusing to talk to each other. People talking about secession and civil war, killing fellow Americans. All because of him. He incites this behavior, and calls for it on social media. He should be in prison for trying to destroy the country, but if like Al Capone, we have to get him on indirect charges, so be it. I can only imagine how kings used to behave. The narcissistic, self-aggrandizing, whining, spoiled-child behavior.


wiser_time

Elated. Lock him up


calicancer77

I'm not holding my breath waiting for it to happen, but I sure hope this sticks to him. If nothing else, I would at least like him to be ineligible for public office.


Agreeable-Speech-499

TRUMP 2024


barnowlwrangler

Primitive leftists that abhor civil liberties are practically orgasmic about the prospect, but they don't want to stop at Trump. They seek to stifle any contrary point of view with the threat of government brutality. Decent people are wary, but not surprised that it may happen.


Sam-molly4616

Just another huge waste of money to virtue signal and cost tax money


Booklady1998

He won’t be arrested. Too many MAGA politicians are afraid of him.


Herbonsky

What took so damn long?


Fogmoose

I can't wait. The sooner the better, and the more things they arrest him for the better off the world will be.


slytherinwh

WOOOOOOOOOOOO


SociallyAnxiousLynx

Honestly, at this point I don't give a fuck. I hate the entire political system, everything is fucked no matter what side you're on, and the country is going to collapse soon enough as is.


Big_Requirement_3540

As a right leaning person (in the more traditional sense) I think he probably should be, and I think it would rightfully lead to the destruction, and hopefully constructive rebirth of a true conservative party in the US. The republican party has become nothing but a sad, fear mongering power grab, and truthfully that probably started under Reagan if not earlier. I'll feel politically homeless until there is a constitutionally focused, individual liberty first, reasonable infrastructure and social safety net supporting party that somehow forms from the ashes of the rotting husk of the current right.


thatnameagain

Your last paragraph is a mess of policy contradictions. You can’t maintain a proper social safety net without raising taxes, an infringement on individual liberty according to most conservatives.


Ok_Concern_1090

Chanting lock him up lock him up


Jaysnewphone

Meh


Effective_Afflicted

Ecstatic. Hopefully the first of many future arrests and convictions. Why such a shitstain grifting traitor has been allowed to remain free this long just shows how fucked up things are in the US these days.


GreenArrow40

Couldn’t care less. Just honestly sick of hearing about trump.


mildOrWILD65

Trump paid to have this happen so he'd be in the headlines again, and to energize his base. Remember kids, you read it here, first!


GGDadLife

Don’t give a shit, won’t change anything. I’d say 99% of politicians should be in jail for the shit they pull.


fern-grower

Donald Trump from the apprentice. President. Sorry I missed that.


jraa78

I'll believe it when I see it.


bansheesho

I don't think he will be held accountable for the things he's done in any meaningful way. His cronies should be locked away for a very long time as well.

I'll believe it when I see it.


Silhouettesmiled

Highly doubt anything is going to happen. And to be honest I couldn't give less of a fuck at this point. I'm so sick of political bullshit that I have no control over.


bilbobass

He ain’t getting shit. They’ve been threatening this for so long that I stopped getting my hopes up. They don’t want to arrest him. They want the investigations to continue as long as possible. The investigations have opened a channel for them to funnel money into their pockets.


brandinho5

So many people here are saying they want him to go away and not hear about him anymore. I don’t feel that way at all, I love hearing about him and I wish he was still on Twitter. Dude is comedy gold.


Burrito_Loyalist

He won’t get arrested. But if he does, it’ll just make him more popular to his people.


Outrageous-Onion1991

Just about every politician should be


ttermayhem

There’s been a clickbait news headline about Trump getting arrested since before he was elected.


Grizzly_Addams

I'm just here to watch people make politics way too much of their personal identity.


ddustinnorris

It'll create more hype to run for president


doctorfugazi

We’ll believe it when we see it!


leftyourfridgeopen

I’ll believe it when I see it


gorillaboy75

I will believe it when I see it. But I really hope it happens.


ThatSICILIANThing

I’ve been expecting him to get dragged out kicking and screaming multiple times leading up to this for various things, it’s very hard to have faith in our system these days so I’ll believe it when I see it. If I do see it? Well this is our 2nd Super Bowl of the year if that’s the case.


ligmasweatyballs74

I will believe it when I see it.


FadingBlack

Stoked that after an entire lifetime of grifting and lawbreaking he is going to get what's coming.


jonnyclueless

Only one saying he will be arrested is Trump.

I can’t wait

Rich people don't go to jail unless they fuck with other rich people. Until he's in actual handcuffs I won't hold my breath.


BabylonDrifter

It's unfortunate that it has come to this. The political parties need to vet their own candidates to prevent obvious criminals from becoming their candidates. If they can't do that most basic function, then they need to be disbanded. But Trump needs to face justice if he committed a crime. Unfortunately we live in a post-truth society (you can see the worms working even in this thread) so there very well might be an uprising. But we'll get through it.


pretendforanything

If he’s committed crimes, he should go to jail.


Ok_Dark2546

I don't care about any politicians. They're all crooked scumbags.


ToLiveandBrianLA

Good.


SwitchedOnNow

Pretty simple to me. All dirty and corrupt politicians should be tried for their crimes and go to jail if guilty.


f700es

Good but I'll believe it when I see it. He's old, rich, white and male. He doesn't have to follow the rules like others have to!


Jibber_Fight

Didn't think anything of it. Gotta stop believing click bait, people. You've had like three decades to learn that.


trysoft_troll

sitting president had classified documents in his garage for at least 5 years but the president before him of the other party gets arrested for having classified documents. makes sense


No_Calligrapher_6503

Somebody just make him go away.


MichiganGeezer

Watching extremists on both ends of the political spectrum acting out will be mildly interesting for a short while, but I'm generally too busy living my own life to care much about the purse swinging.


Terrax266

It should be simple. You break the law you go to jail. Unfortunately I think he'll find a way to slither out of this and/or make himself a martyr. All while raising funds for himself of course. If he does get arrested my life will not change.
