What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

Trump indicted on 7 counts in South Florida.

The move to Florida emerging on Tuesday and the 2nd Grand Jury has been totally out of left field.

If I had to guess at what DOJ's play is here? It's going to charge the documents case in Florida and the insurrection/J6 case in DC.

Good hunting to Jack Smith!

When you think about it this is his last best shot: Miami, mar a lago, where many potential jurists will be pro trumpers, many even jan 6 'truthers,' and incidentally also coincidentally southern florida is a once thriving LGBTQ cultural center, which has been the target of terrorism since before and after Pulse Nightclub, up to and including state laws being passed to scare the **** out of LGBTQ and even minorities and other anti-Trump people so they will flee the jurisdiction, leaving an even more densely red jury pool. As a foil to the Bragg case in NYC, Trump couldn't ask for a forum more corruptly stacked in his favor, up to and including the federal circuit and the supreme court which is about to oversee this clusterfuck in history.

So if he loses this, he ain't got **** all else to say.

Ah sur, at least he was right about the golf I suppose!

All his life he’s gotten his way. Whilst he’s no stranger to court, this is a different game.

He is looking at very serious charges and if his solicitors lay it out that he’s in big trouble then I wouldn’t be surprised if he gritted his teeth and took a plea deal.

Imagine if he flees to Russia…

😂😂😂

No but he can whinge and moan about it from his golf course instead of a cell. He’s never been in this position before.

You’d have to imagine the evidence would have to be pretty overwhelming for the DOJ bringing a case like this against a former president. Getting ahead of ourselves here but if his legal team tell him the writings on the wall, I could see him him taking a deal.

Yeah this is a man who espoused as far back as 2016 that he never settles cases, while repeatedly settling pretty much every case eventually.

He'll fight and drag it out for as long as possible with bullsh*t excuses and time delays, but there's a good chance he settles and agrees to plead guilty to some of the lesser charges if the bigger ones (espionage act especially) are dropped. Then he'll claim publicly he was forced to plead guilty, isn't guilty, corrupt DOJ, biased judges, donate here, whataboutBiden, donate here, crooked (insert relevant name), no seriously please give me money, I can do what I want I was President, give me money and I'll match your donation by giving 5x that amount to myself which actually doesn't mean anything because it's already my money but just give me more of your money for reasons I don't care just give me your money, something something Clinton, MAGA!

I love it! Sounds like Molly Bloom's stream of consciousness.

His followers are going mad on Twitter, Biden gets 5m from Ukraine and Trump is indicted over a few documents, Trump had the power to declassify, its a political with hunt to stop Trump, electoral interference etc etc . Wouldn't put it past him to drop a few hints that maybe its time to hit back. He'd phrase it that its unfortunate that ordinary decent people are pushed into action because of a Marxist fascist government.

Trump has no chance of the Rep. nomination, with all the legal accusations his support is slowly being erased and when it comes down to the choice he will loose.................but expect Trump to cause as much disruption as possible!

You'd absolutely want trump to face all these charges and be on the ticket.

It'll be the biggest defeat in history, and a fantastic send off to an abject political failure.

So just a quick tally of Trump's "achievements" since 2015 (I'll definitely miss a few but just off the top of my head):

-Lost the popular vote twice.

-Lost the House and Senate during his term in office.

-Failed to get his two main policy announcements done during his 4 years (wall and repeal of Obamacare)

-Impeached twice

-Left office with a massive increase in national debt, having said he'd get rid of it within a few years.

-Incited an insurrection

-Found to have sexually abused E Jean Carroll by a court of law

-Indicted twice after leaving office, once under the Espionage Act.

And yet the "party of law and order" is still nailing its colours to him for 2024. The guy is a proven and continuous loser, I cannot understand how the GOP can still be standing behind this guy when it's pretty obviously that in the long-term, he'll ruin both the party and the country. Just shows how his politics of lies, misinformation and division have destroyed the American public's belief in their institutions.

This is the same party that after Nixon made it their main priority to never get 'caught' again.

Calling Republicans law and order party is akin to calling the North Korean government democratic

Grift grift grift...
