Will Trump ever spend some time in the future in a penitentiary or any type of "jail"?.. Discuss:

...My opinion...(yes this is speculation) is that Trump will spend a little time in some type of prison...He will get
arrested, than bailed out rather quickly...What will he get arrested for? Don't know...but there is a whole lot
that he could be arrested for. Somewhere, sometime, in the not too distant future, it will happen maybe a day,
or a few hours...but ...I do think that Trump is so sure that he "get away with everything"...that at some
level he will miss one, and NOT get away with it... Not long, but a few hours and then released on bond..

I probably still would pass.

Well, perhaps I'd put in a buck or two, just for fun, but no way would I bet any significant amount on that happening.

Will bring him to justice. The political crimes are hard to prosecute and may be sabotaged by a jury of his "peers ", but no one cheats the IRS on a grand scale and walks free. Just ask Al Capone .

States. I just can't see anyone with the authority to arrest him would do so JUST BECAUSE he's a former POTUS. I still can't believe people elected that POS.

anything with enough money and the right resources. Trump should do time and/or be so heavily penalized he's fucked for life. I do have to wonder how much will actually happen. If this ass gets away scot-free, it sets a horrific example for the future of the US IMO.

He'll spend the rest of his life in a Narcissistic rage, knowing that history will write him up as a loser. It's that knowledge that has driven him completely insane; his irrational statements and actions and delusions are a futile attempt to avoid that inevitable fate. But somewhere in what's left of his mind, his delusions know what they're running from.

He is powerful old, white man who is former President. No priors. No way in hell the establishment is going start the precedent of convicting a former President. Just like impeachment has turned into a political tactic, charging Presidents will too.

...Anything can happen, and often does. For a very long time, I honestly believed that no Afro-American could ever
be elected President of the United States. Well, I was totally wrong. I never thought Trump could be elected, ...
..........wrong again..!!...Wait are we out of Afghanistan?...Yes we are...It happened today

.....Well there is one thing I will never be wrong about.....Trump will not shut up till he dies....Is that correct?..
