I am also willing for you to go to jail.

And I’m guessing the judge also plays racquetball or something.

    He really does seem to be trying to emulate Hitler, right down to running for office while in prison for an attempted coup. The only difference was that Hitler was not quite 40 when he did that. If Trump goes to actual prison (and doesn’t get some cushy house arrest), he is old enough that he doesn’t have much time left after that.

      This is exactly it, but he foresees becoming some kind of political prisoner ‘martyr for the cause’ that will ‘surely rally everyone behind him’ for the election.

      Unfortunately I’m not sure he’s wrong.

        Though it’d be interesting to see what happens if he’s put in prison. I say we put him in prison and see.

        I bet lots of ketchup is on the wall in his trash palace just beforehand, but he better learn really quick not to throw food in prison!

      Back in highschool i studied ww2 specifically the Nazis. Was was astonished that anyone could pull that off. Used to think “how the hell was he able to get all these people behind his bullshit?” And “people have learned and hopefully it never repeats itself”. Then trump won and it became clear how hitler pulled it all off.

      He already doesn’t have much time left. Based on his appearance and the news of his eating habits, I’d be amazed if he survives to the end of the year.
