Related: About this forumTerrified Trump Is Asking His Lawyers How Bad Prison Will Be For Him - Farron Balanced
According to a new report, Donald Trump is terrified of going to prison and has been repeatedly asking his lawyers questions about how bad jail will be for him. He's asked if he'll get to go to "Club Fed" or if he'll have to wear one of those orange jumpsuits. This is a stark contrast to his claim last week that he "doesn't worry" about going to jail. The man is clearly frightened, but he has only himself to blame for his situation. Farron Cousins explains what's happening.
====================
*This transcript was auto-generated. Please excuse any typos.
According to three different sources close to Donald Trump who spoke to Rolling Stone recently, the former president is in fact terrified of the prospect of going to jail. And in recent weeks, he has been peppering his lawyers constantly with questions about what life in prison would look like for him. And I'm not saying he's gonna get life in prison, but what would his life look like if he goes to prison? Now, this is obviously a stark contrast to what Donald Trump told, uh, meet the press host, Kirsten Weer just a few days ago when he was like, ah, I don't really think about going to jail. I'm wired differently, he said, and that is literally the quote. He goes, I don't even think about it. I'm built a little differently, I guess. Sorry, built differently, not wired differently. So he is like, I'm not even thinking about jail.
And then those closest to him told Rolling Stone, like, this guy is literally constantly thinking about what's gonna happen when he goes to jail. Here are some of the questions that he has allegedly been asking his attorneys. Would the authorities make him wear one of those jumpsuits in prison? Would he be sent to a club fed style prison or a bad prison? Would he serve out a sentence in a plush home confinement? Would government officials try to strip him of his lifetime secret service protections? What would they make him wear. So apparently his biggest concern is like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What's the dress code here? Like, what am I dealing with? Is it gonna be an orange jumpsuit? Are they gonna like, put me in one of those old timey, you know, black and white striped outfits? Am I gonna have the little hat?
Like, what, what does it look like? I need to know what I'm gonna have to wear. What kind of shoes are they? Are they like standard issued tennis shoes? Are they crocs? Like, what's going on here? with my potential prison sentence, noticeably missing from any of those questions is, how long of a sentence do you think I will have? Like Donald Trump is more worried about the logistics than the length of time. Like, is it gonna be a club fed? You know, maybe I get to leave for a couple hours every day. Is it gonna be a bad prison? Like, am I gonna have to bulk up out in the yard? Am I gonna have to beat up the biggest prisoner my first day in jail to assert my dominance? Like, how's this work if I go to jail? And again, the reason this is so funny is because publicly Donald Trump is of course, attempting to project this image that I'm not worried about it. This is all hoopla. I'm not ever gonna get in trouble. I did nothing wrong. But behind the scenes, he is clearly asking his lawyers like, dude, what's gonna happen to me? Where am I gonna go? Like, this is bad. I know how bad it is. And I understand
That the possibility of going to prison is in my future. That is what this story means. So every time we see Donald Trump out there, whether it's with a post on truth social, whether it's in one of these little fluffy interviews that he gets to do all the time or at a rally, and he says, oh, they're coming after me. It's a witch hunt. This is proof. He knows it's not a witch hunt. He knows that there is a very real possibility that he gets convicted. And I mean, hell, if you just look at by the numbers 91 felony charges, the, the thought of him getting away with 91 felony charges, like that's just not believable. The law of averages is gonna tell you if you get hit with 91 felony charges, you're gonna be convicted on at least a couple of them. Maybe it's smaller ones, right?
Maybe smaller ones where they're like, Hey, 20 hours of community service as your overall sentence, go out there with a, you know, stick with a nail on the end of it and pick up trash along the highway. Maybe that's all he gets. Maybe he gets decades in prison. We won't know until all of these trials have concluded. But that's why he has so many questions. He knows how much trouble he is facing. He knows there's the possibility of prison. So no matter what he tells us in public, please remember that behind the scenes, he is a terrified, panicked, elderly man who is scared the death of going to jail.

No golden toilet. Just one for many men, and you get your water from the top. Enjoy.

The partying will be different than what you are use to.
You will not like it, but many will like you being there and it will make you a new and different man.
32 months and counting.
