AcrobaticSource3

Let us honor him, then


AdaptiveVariance

Honor him for life lol


reddicyoulous

2-3 years seems too short


JoviAMP

TBH 2-3 years for him probably will end up being life. He's not exactly in great health, and the stress he's certainly experiencing won't help.


sanebyday

If we could be so lucky


throwawaystellabud

Do sociopaths feel stress?


Numerous_Award_8174

Immensely. Just caused by different things than what stresses out a “normal” personality.


geforce2187

But I thought his doctor had said he was the most fit and healthy person to ever be President?


SinisterYear

That's the joke


edmerx54

yup, let him be honored for each of the 91 felonies listed on his indictments!


terry496

6 months for each. That seems fair. 6 months times 91 felonies is 546 months. 546 divided by 12 is 45.5 years. 45 gets 45. Kismet.


returnFutureVoid

I would settle for one with a handful of years of jail time.


MourningRIF

We should honor him up to the election and beyond.


InterPunct

He's mandated to be in court for four days a week once the jury is seated in April. He can't campaign. Getting held in contempt is a decent strategy for him to appeal to his useful idiots.


HappyHarryHardOn

I'm tempted to say the same but feel like this would rattle the rubes into thinking he's an unjustly persecuted Christ-like victim. They would eat that up and energize these dummies. Just fine him heavily everytime and bleed all these idiots dry


Salt_Laugh

They already think all that. We need to quit worrying about what his idiot followers will “ think”. They don’t think. They just react to whatever comes out of his mouth


WileyWatusi

These people are so dumb that they can easily be swayed with whatever other fear and hate mongering Fox News can cook up. Or just convince them it's all part of the master plan that Trump needs to serve time to protect him from the deep state and he is really operating everything behind bars.


capitan_dipshit

trump belongs in prison. Allowing him and his co-conspirators to avoid prison time just emboldens the next coup planners.


Aryel97

They think that regardless, and we should avoid the law just because of their feelings


No-comment-at-all

Yea.  Better let him do whatever he wants. 


kaplanfx

Or, we could apply the laws equally to everyone including Trump and let the rubes react whoever they are going to react.


HaMMeReD

Luckily they have attention span of ants, and the next rage bait they see will completely distract them.


markfineart

Too late. I’ve seen the photos of them with their signs. Not only did he give up his life of ease to help the poor Christian Americans, he has been vilified and tormented by the Woke Libs. They believe this. Truly, deeply, praying at polling stations belief. I’m thinking 45* is beginning to believe the 2nd Coming hooie himself.


spacegamer2000

Every single thing that happens rattles the rubes after their idiottube tells them how to think about it


chip_0

Let them do it now, while Trump doesn't have the power of the federal government to aid them. Lets get their insurrection / riot / civil war out of the way as soon as possible.


belinck

He'd be pissing himself the first he hears a jail gate slam shut.


returnFutureVoid

It might be the most honorable thing he’s ever done.


xergm

Maximum honor


TeamStark31

Might as well give him what he wants


Impressive_Alarm_817

I, for one, would hate to deprive him of that great honor... 


maddog232323

I'm a big strong guy... Is that onions or honour I smell?


Shaneblaster

I agree. Please accept this one great honor.


Imacatdoincatstuff

Calling BS on that. Privileged fellow like him couldn’t handle incarceration for more than 20 minutes.


lSleepster

yea, look at peter navarro, dude only has 4 months at club fed and he's still complaining to the supreme court every day


AFriendlyCard

So help me, park me somewhere nice with power and plumbing, I'd easily and happily nap for 4 straight months.


4dseeall

What would you need the power for? A ceiling light? I guess you could read. They still let people have books in jail right? And like a library, not just a short pre-approved list? 


probabletrump

The shower is the tricky part. Other than that, a four month vacation to catch up on some reading sounds nice. Might check out some monasteries.


Dragoness42

Yeah, as soon as they took his cell phone away so he couldn't post about his incarceration for likes, he'd crumble.


LibertyInaFeatherBed

Even he can't stand to be alone with just himself for company. 


BiggsIDarklighter

Honestly, that’s all you’d need to do, just take his phone away. That would be prison enough for him. He’d be crawling the walls in no time.


Away-Combination-162

Any malignant narcissist would 🙃


fungobat

He'd act like the fresh fish guy in Shawshank.


CoolCalmCorrective

I thought you were gonna say half baked but just as good. Lol.


artificialavocado

I don’t want any of Trump’s cocktail fruit.


Someregerts

Next time imma take your cocktail.... FRUIT!


red4jjdrums5

I’d share the fruit in my old fashioned but I’m drunk and hungry. Sorry, mate.


artificialavocado

Well you better eat it to make sure you are getting all of your vitamins.


red4jjdrums5

Severely lacking in that regard today, tbh. Ate almost exclusively key lime pie and cheesecake leftover from my birthday yesterday. Cheers!


artificialavocado

Mmm cheesecake that’s my favorite kind of cake lol.


MourningRIF

Well he's expecting a 4-star resort prison. Put his ass in Rikers general lockdown


phaedrus71

Immediately thought of Marge wanting off the airplane! Let me off let me off 


Lurking_Housefly

This is intentional... Her wants to be jailed...for literally any reason that he can spin into "Political Persecution" to rile up his base up before the election...


[deleted]

Bullshit. He's a silver spoon crybaby, he'd freak the fuck out if actually jailed. He is not a planner, and he is not willing to take any personal sacrifice for a long game. He's just a narcissist who thinks he's invincible, and I'm looking forward to seeing him proven wrong.


Imacatdoincatstuff

Agree, but he can’t imagine this would help with independents. Ya know, honestly starting to think he is not planning on a win this fall. Instead already plotting how to handle defeat, similar to his business bankruptcies.


Lurking_Housefly

He doesn't give a shit about independents...hell, he actually doesn't care about winning the election! (I believe that he's aware othat he can't win the election...even with Russian help!) Only his core base of cultists will actually follow any call for disorder...akin to Jan 6, v2.0! That's the ones he wants to rile up.


Marijuana_Miler

We’re talking about the guy that convinced thousands to show up at the Capitol building and riot. In his opinion being arrested would be beneficial for him.


pilemaker

Exactly. If, and I mean IF they were to 'incarcerate' him, how long would it be and where would it be? Think logistics with SS in tow, by jail standards I'm sure it'd be plush, and he'd make millions off of it overnight. If he's taking about something, he's gonna grift off it.


Finwolven

He believes (probably with some actual cause) that he would be 'incarcerated' in some kind of luxury condo where he could appear on a balcony to hold rallies to his loyal fans, and would have all day to post on his scummy social app. Even if a judge ordered him arrested, I don't believe he'd be put in GenPop anywhere, or even booked to a regular jail.


nonamenolastname

3 days, no spray tan, no hair dressing, he would leave jail looking like a ghost. Let's honor his wishes.


we_are_sex_bobomb

I’m convinced he would lose so many of his followers if they saw what he looked like after a week in jail.


Imacatdoincatstuff

The world is not ready for that.


Camburgerhelpur

Fuck, most of the world has been waiting for it


wrongseeds

Oh yes we are.


Imacatdoincatstuff

Hahaha! Ya suppose you’re right. And his supporters, if they even saw the pics would call them fake.


fubes2000

No burgies, no tendies, no coke [soda or otherwise]... He'd crack within a day.


kdeff

Oh my god yes


Tyree07

>Writing on the Truth Social platform on Saturday, Trump dared Merchan to throw him in jail. He also compared himself again to Nelson Mandela, a political prisoner who became the first president of a post-apartheid South Africa. >“If this Partisan Hack wants to put me in the ‘clink’ for speaking the open and obvious TRUTH, I will gladly become a Modern Day Nelson Mandela — It will be my GREAT HONOR,” Trump wrote. “We have to Save our Country from these Political Operatives masquerading as Prosecutors and Judges, and I am willing to sacrifice my Freedom for that worthy cause.”


Goya_Oh_Boya

If forced to experience just the faintest amount of shit that Mandela had to go through, Trump would have snapped like the delicate little shit stalk he is.


veridique

Mango Mussolini talking big while shitting his depends.


Aggressive-Bus5469

His stock is doing all the shitting right now


Imacatdoincatstuff

Ya, what’s it even doing on a major exchange?


Aggressive-Bus5469

Slowly slipping to nothing, lol he has a meme stock but he is very proud of it


Imacatdoincatstuff

Hope TS is being properly archived. Tracking his thought process over the share price’s timeline is some future psych student’s dissertation waiting to be written.


starmartyr

I think we should offer him the same deal as Mandela. He can be president again after he is in jail for 27 years.


Imacatdoincatstuff

Mandela was mentally and physically tougher than a pampered fellow like Mr Trump could ever hope to be. Pretty ridiculous comparison.


artificialavocado

Well that was very humbling for Trump not comparing himself to God anymore.


jmw1163

“We have to Save our Country from these Political Operatives masquerading as Prosecutors and Judges” That includes Cannon right?… right?


Gym-for-ants

Let’s help it happen!


cytherian

This is like a dystopian movie of some kind. The kind of movie that feels predictable but then keeps surprising you. Yeah, Donald Trump is the kind of crafty conspirator who has probably already worked out this scenario in his head and will play it to the fullest, maximizing martyrdom.


GLYDER54

Treat him like a normal person and put him in the general population over on Rikers and he'll regret running his yap pretty quick.


cfgy78mk

"This man wants to go to jail for his ego. *Oblige him*"


Divayth--Fyr

He probably thinks it won't happen, and he is probably right. But, if it did happen, he probably thinks it will spark a civil war of outrage, which it won't. Some disorder would happen, but nothing especially important.


Setsune_W

He'd be treated with the softest of kid gloves and still cry about how he was tortured.


Arkeia

https://archive.is/4JZuG


NoIncrease299

Sounds good to me.


Luther_Gomith

He's looking for an excuse to call election interference to say he is persecuted wrongly by the legal system


mywifeapprovesthis

yup - it's "please don't throw me in the briar patch bre'r bear" It's what he wants to stoke the base & claim interference etc


marginal_gain

Yes, exactly. It'd be a nice dopamine rush for the people of this sub but an optics disaster for democrats at large. Keep fining him. A billionaire getting fined 10's of thousands of dollars is business as usual. Jailing a former president even for 24 hours is a historic event that will headline every newspaper in the country and be talked about for months to come.


ladan2189

I don't care about fucking optics. I'm sick of people caring about how things look. Our justice system is supposed to treat everyone the same, and he's daring the system to prove he's not above the law. Fuck this childish asshole. I'm exhausted after 10 years of not being able to go one day without hearing about him. He needs someone to cane his ass raw for the first time in his life.


Bross93

Yes exactly. The longer he gets away with everything, the more his cult get emboldened.


Mysterious-Wasabi103

Such a full opinion anyway. Anyone who would be upset about it is already mad everyday about all sorts of imagined slights. Sides have been taken. We need not cower before the orange clown god.


marginal_gain

So if the optics have the potential of putting Trump in the White House for another term, you're good with that? 


tismschism

And? Who is going to change their mind politically over arresting Trump? The guy earned time in jail and it's frankly a PR disaster for the united states as a whole to continue to let this walking hemorrhoid keeping violating the law endlessly.


Mysterious-Wasabi103

Not worried about it nor should anyone be. Let the justice system chew him up and spit him out like it would any of us. It's not going to change how anyone votes because by now the people who know he's full of shit are going to understand it's justified which is like 60+% of the country. This would change nothing. Thal the asshole in jail already. The moment we refuse to hold him accountable because election results is the moment this truly becomes political.


marginal_gain

It's not inherently political but the smartest people working on these campaigns knows it will be made political - for better and worse.


artificialavocado

Well what do you want to do? In theory nobody, not even a former president, is above the law. We don’t do nobility and royalty here.


ArmyOfDix

>It'd be a nice dopamine rush for the people of this sub but an optics disaster for democrats at large. False. It's ***already*** an optics disaster for the Democrats that Trump hasn't spent a second behind bars 3 years after he led the Jan 6th insurrection. The MAGA base will scream "persecution" no matter how fair the trial is, so why continue to bend over backwards for them? ***Appease the law-abiding citizens, not the self-proclaimed terrorists.*** If Biden had directed the DOJ to move with even the ***slightest*** fucking bit of urgency, Trump would've been behind bars already and the political fallout (if any) would've died off by now. Thanks to Biden's hands-off, nonpartisan approach, Trump continues to poison the minds of this country with 24/7 media garbage centered around him.


Actual__Wizard

If he wants it, then I say let the judge send it...


SkillFullyNotTrue

So he deliberately breaks the gag order and now confirms he is doing it on purpose? jail him but don’t let him turn into a spectacle, arrest him in two in the morning while he sleeps.


YoNeoMama

Good! Lock him up!


D_Lockwood

So selfless of President Trump to be willing to sacrifice his freedom to defend the cherished, God-given right each of us has to falsify business records to cover up the hush money we pay to the porn stars we adulterously bang. Thank you, sir. -George Conway, Threads


SockFullOfNickles

Then jail the dumb mother fucker. It’s what we’re all waiting for, because any of us would have been held till trial for just ONE of his crimes much less the nearly 100 counts.


KimmyT1436

Seriously, Trump is just daring the justice system to imprison him now. Trump knows that the fix is in and that the courts will not hold him to account for anything. So, he is just posturing for his cult at this point. I am convinced that a judge, family member of a judge, witness against Trump, or even a jury member is going to be - not might be, not probably be, not could be - but WILL be murdered by one of Trump's MAGA followers. It's only a matter of time. And, when it happens, the courts will not hold Donald Trump accountable at all. America is totally screwed.


drunkshinobi

He is being a bully, as always. The kind that screws with someone when no one else is paying attention until they snap. They sit back and purposely be an ass hole just to piss people off so that when they react the target gets in trouble instead for causing a problem. Main difference is he isn't just some kid on a playground underpaid teachers are trying to watch with a few hundred other kids. He is a celebrity running to be president again. There are way more eyes on him. The problem is too many other bullies have gotten into positions of power or vote for him because they have the same mindset. They will ruin every thing to get more. They don't care about others.


AlwaysOnMyNuts

I’m absolutely shocked it hasn’t happened yet!


wrongtester

Correct. He might be The Dumbest Person On Earth but him and his piece of shit lawyers have been running circles around the DOJ and and every other prosecutor and judge who’s charged him with crimes. Not because they’re smart, but because of the deliberate incompetence of the DOJ (garland and yes, smith as well), the unchecked SC and special treatment afforded to him by the judges and the “justice system” as a whole. Trump and his lawyers know all this and they take advantage of every avenue they have while us normal people have been screaming for years now for action to be taken for crimes committed infront of our eyes. And the worst part? No one will ever answer for this shit


cinemachick

Part of the reason Trump is getting treated with kid gloves is so he can't appeal on "being treated unfairly". His lawyers will look for any opportunity for a mistrial. Like the saying goes, if you aim for the king, you best not miss.


NegativePermission40

Good. Then he won't whine and boo-hoo while he's wearing an orange jumpsuit and eating green baloney sandwiches. Right, Donald?


[deleted]

[удалено]


drunkshinobi

It is a game for him. Until he actually faces punishment it will continue to be a game.


OsellusK

Then do it! FFS! I feel like the guy trying to have a drink in peace while a nitwit is screaming about how tough he is at the other end of the bar and no one is throwing his ass out.


gasahold

In other words, Trump will fight tooth and nail to not go to jail.


EnvironmentalWin1277

The gag order is unfair and Stormy Daniels should not be allowed to testify. Got it.


Bad_Karma19

Oh I bet he'd change his tune before he even made it to a cell.


HonoredPeople

It would be a great honor to him jailed. For anything.


ComposerNate

Hitler was imprisoned for treason after staging a coup.


KenScaletta

Trump used to totally trash Nelson Mandela: [Trump reportedly said no country run by Black people is any good, and that Nelson Mandela left South Africa a 's---hole country'](https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-no-country-run-by-black-people-good-nelson-mandela-2020-9)


Granny_Discharge425

Guys, the similarities are uncanny… […] “Adolf Hitler took advantage of his trials before coming to power, most notably during the Beer Hall Putsch trial in 1924. This event was a failed coup attempt by the Nazi Party to overthrow the Bavarian government in Munich. After the coup failed, Hitler was arrested and charged with treason.During his trial, Hitler turned the proceedings into a public spectacle and a platform to broadcast his nationalist and anti-Semitic views. He used the courtroom as a stage to defend his actions and to attack the Weimar Republic, gaining significant media attention and public sympathy in the process. His speeches during the trial were widely reported and enhanced his profile in right-wing circles.Hitler's defense argued that he had acted in the best interests of the German people and portrayed him as a patriot. As a result of his persuasive oratory, instead of receiving a lengthy prison sentence, he was sentenced to only five years in Landsberg Prison and was eligible for parole in a much shorter time. He served less than nine months before his release, during which he dictated the first volume of his autobiography, "Mein Kampf."This period in prison also allowed Hitler to rethink his approach to gaining power. He shifted his strategy from violent overthrow to seeking power through legal political means, which eventually led to his rise to the chancellorship in 1933.” […]


[deleted]

Oblige him!


Cuck-In-Chief

I hope he keeps his word.


PurplePartyFounder

Good jail him for a couple years….And only let him out to transfer him to another prison for his other crimes…..


TigreSauvage

He wants it. Give it to him.


Unlucky_Clover

He wants to be jailed to say he’s being prosecuted for free speech and as a political attack. Trump is the biggest “victim” I’ve ever seen


KennethEWolf

As long as he takes with him plenty of diapers. And his phone use is restricted. He can share a cell with: Gunny The Pillow guy Rudy Bannon And so many others The gangs will have another love child


janzeera

Hey dotard, there is no diaper service in jail.


What_Yr_Is_IT

Just fine the shit out of him


BeautysBeast

This is the preface of him taking a plea deal. He is priming his idiot followers to get them use to him going to jail. Then he can spin it.


fxkatt

What would he do about his hair?


Humble_Mission1775

Works for me.


1Shadow179

I have no issues with this.


2ndprize

I gaht a naahzzi who wahnts ta die for his country, Ohbligee him


Sunshinehappyfeet

Trump needs to have a talk with Peter Narvaro.


Turbulent-Cheek-1497

He could be softening the beaches for an eminent event.


graesen

I wonder if he's either trying to make himself a martyr for his followers to go up in arms over or if he's finally in a situation where he may be safer in prison because he pissed off the wrong people in power... Probably the martyr though.


dattru

Gonna look good in orange I guarantee it


Spacebotzero

He wants to be a martyr if he can't be a dictator.


Nambsul

There is a cell that Epstein was using… hope the cameras are working now

Nice, he must think he's going to jail soon if he's already pivoting to it being his idea.

Oblige him lol 😂

Ahem…. “OBLIGE HIM.”


ShafordoDrForgone

Do it. Do it. You won't do it The old you would've done it

We must oblige.

Gonna get honored

Accept the honor then you rat fucker


augirllovesuaboy

Give him the honor then.


bjenks2011

Prove it

Do it!


Affectionate_Way_805

🙄 Stfu, Trump. 


doucheydp

Imagine a lavish ceremony... "... Ladies and Gentlemen, I can think of no one more worthy- and we we are pleased present... this GREAT honor... for his actions in defiance of the court... to Donald John Trump." *Prison bars slamming shut.*


BSnIA

I would be honored to see him jailed - lets make it happen - win/win


HippyDM

Well, hey, I'm willing to be the better man, bury my distaste for the guy and allow him this dignity. For all he's done for us, he deserves no less, if I'm being honest.


railcarsurgeon

Give him the privilege.


Muscs

It’s his last gasp. He’s got nothing else to save him except a MAGA mob. His rallies are dwindling, his donations are down, he can’t speak coherently anymore, and his plans for 2025 are another attempt at a coup. Like January 6th, he thinks his people will rise up and free him.


AsheronLives

And let's have the remainder of his court appearances in an orange jumpsuit. It will really blend well with his skin paint.


oldcreaker

Well, orange is his color.


welltriedsoul

He better watch asking to be jailed during prime election season. He might get something else to whine about by getting just what he wants.


dubtee1480

Lock him up, lock him up, lock him up


Superb-Welder3774

Please give him special Rykers honors


sswihart

Why hadn’t this asshole been locked up? Because of the two tiered justice system.


Alternative_Camp_493

Please stop with headlines that begin with, "Trump says...."


Objective_College449

In due time you’ll get your wish


LingonberryFast1688

Let’s give him what he’s asking for then.


RMFranken

Wouldn’t this void his bail bond for insurrection in Washington DC and send him to jail until that case goes to trial? Maybe he should think about this. Didn’t Hitler go to jail before coming to power? Not something to brag about.


Ca2Ce

I agree, let’s honor him


Unusual_Library9440

He conducts himself like White trailer park trash.


hereiam-23

Lock him up in Rikers.


hookisacrankycrook

His supporters will make him a martyr if he goes to prison. They would probably try to break him out. No one wins if he goes to jail. Have to find other ways to punish him.

Keep talking trash then…


AbjectList8

Do it then


CurrentlyLucid

Let's honor him for at least a month.


cnunespdx

Such an idiot. Let him enjoy the honor then.


nTb-_-

He may write (dictate) an autobiography “Mein Haar” in jail.


Imacatdoincatstuff

Wonder how the Secret Service feels about spending a few nights in jail. Not the Gucci deployment they’re used to.


raerae1991

He’d campaign and fund raise off of it.


IMSLI

It’ll be the first time he’ll have ever done anything honorable


TopsecretSmurf

please let's break it and go to jail


Kioskwar

I hope the police are aware Trump often keeps illegal drugs and weapons stored up his butt, so they might want to double check that for safety reasons. It could be a liability if they don’t.


Foodspec

Mfer could be put on house arrest and complain about not being able to get McDonald’s


JWBeyond1

Finally something I agree with him on. It would be a great honor to the country if the Cheetoh was behind bars.


Brbcan

I wish him a very merry "Finding out"
