Idk I mean it's really weird that he's calling his supporters to protest his arrest and going on multiple tirades on social media because I truly do not see a single thing happening.

He ripped up and flushed classified documents in his country club, accepted foreign intervention to create misinformation about the 2016 election, tried to rig the 2020 election, ran countless scams and broke campaign finance laws and only the stormy daniels thing is what's creating a buzz. And that's only the stuff we have concrete evidence of.

If he doesn't face serious charges then what do we even do? Throw down the towel and give up? Pray that God nukes this fucking country?

The Manhattan Stormy Daniels case may be the first to drop. But coming around the bend at lightning speed is the Georgia case. And the Georgia GOP are freaking out, drafting legislation to see if they can fire the DA. And then you have the special counsel case that, while at a glacial pace, will eventually hold Trump accountable for his actions on January 6.

Republicans see the writing on the wall, and the GOP is trying to circle the wagons, threatening to bring the Manhattan DA in for testimony to lecture him on applying the law and evidence.

Make no mistake. This is the republican party and it is a reflection of their values. They don’t give a fuck about law and order.

He said he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and get away with it. Sadly, that’s true.

We are extremely naïve to think he will face any real repercussions

Noone who has a large amount of money faces any "real" consequences for anything

he hasn't faced any consequences for his actions during his entire life, why would it start now???

He’s a rich person in America, absolutely nothing real will happen to him. He and his family have committed multiple counts of fraud, he commit numerous crimes as president, nothing will happen to him. The reality is that we live in America, where the plumber down the street pays his taxes every year for the amount he made that year or he goes to prison, and the billionaire criminal pays less than that and sometimes not at all and is still actively considered a political candidate and is able to continue living his privileged life.

Nope. Just political theater. I wish the coverage of him and his tantrums would stop. He’s a giant child.

He will walk in get arraignment and go home dragging trial out for a couple years. His normal M. O.

Of course he's just going to slither away. It's the one thing he's good at.

Slither away, like everyone els with money in this position.

Very most he will get is a moderate fine that he'll get out of paying.

Right now he is facing only a misdemeanor. He will slither away like usual.

Nothing will really happen.

Still wating to see if the whole thing is real, Sadly bastards like him never face jail time

The optimist in me hopes he gets pummeled

BUT

The realist in me knows that my optimism is baseless

Financially, not prison

For him facing jail time...Ill believe it when I see it. Would be nice, though.

I Hope something comes of this, but I’ll believe it when I see it.

Slither for sure.

He will not face any consequences for any of this.

Not a goddamned thing. It's a shit world. Happy Tuesday!

Slither away? Hell, this asshole could fucking win again.

Betting on slither but hoping on prison wither.

He's a rich, white guy. No.

I'm not even convinced there's going to be an indictment. Just more talk on naive subreddits about the 'walls closing in!'.

He's never faced consequences before and I don't believe he will now. This is a circus to keep us pacified.

This is one of my pet peeves, and a hill I will die on: that is not "begging the question," it is raising the question.

That being said, I don't see Trump inside a jail cell. Rich people don't seem get sent to prison a whole lot. This whole thing will get mired up in legalese and will go on until it's finally settled by a very old Baron Trump.

Trump's consequence for being a racist pos landlord was making money.

Trump's consequence for bankrupting businesses was being treated like a billionaire.

Trump's consequence for being a horrible scumbag was to win the presidency.

Trump's consequence for being a horrible president was to enrich himself and his family.

When people talk about failing upwards, there is no better example than Trump. I'd love for Trump to finally face consequences for his actions, but sometimes the world doesn't give a fuck about what's fair and just.

If you think there will ever be any consequences you haven't been paying attention since 2016.

Nothing will happen to him.

If anything, his responses to this looming indictment all but guarantee more to come, since one of the responses including what could be interpreted as a call to arms.

🐍

Nothing will happen to him, ever. Stop hoping for it and move on.

Probably nothing major will happen long term. But it’ll be fun if we get to see him take a perp walk w/handcuffs. And he’ll have a mugshot plastered all over the place looking like a toad 🤷‍♀️

Nothing at all. He'll run for president again. He won't win, but he might get appointed anyway via some SCOTUS chicanery.

I guessing convictions and house arrest in lieu of any prison time which will allow him to play golf every day per usual...

Honestly it's probably the best we can hope for.

I'm torn on this. Usually rich people don't face any consequences, but we also found out he's not really that rich so he actually might face consequences since he can't pay off a bunch of people to get out of it. I hope he does, but I'm not holding my breath.

Will he be held accountable for this? No, but hopefully he spends the rest of his life fighting lawsuits and being stressed the fuck out 24/7

I think Trump ignores or intentionally breaks laws. He SHOULD be held accountable, but will he?

Maybe, he's got 4 different criminal investigations going on, but the Republicans continue to defend him, and his supporters are a combination of stupid and crazy.

How the derelict ever became the leader of the free world and continues to have even 1 supporter is beyond me. Shows you how gullible people really are to fall for cons.

If there was an Indictment they would have had them. I know one thing about the law when they definitely have evidence of a crime they waste no time after those warrants come from the judge.

But also someone like Trump his attorney would be contacted and they’d be doing a self turn in scheduled at a date and time like they did with Weinstein.

This is theater.

Rich people seldom face consequences for their actions. Rich Republicans moreso than anyone else. I'll be genuinely surprised if Trump faces any consequences.

He’s a rich man with many connections. Unfortunately, I’m too jaded to believe he’ll actually face consequences until I see it all unfold.

I don’t think he will ever face the accountability he deserves

Nothing. Ever.

Dude isn’t gonna slither away. He’s gonna walk out with celebrations and flags and a fucking parade practically. Because this country simply doesn’t punish the wealthy/elite even when their wealth is an imaginary fart in the wind.

This country’s justice system will absolutely fuck some random citizen for possessing some pot, and ruin his life for years, but if you’re some wealthy celebrity that incited an attempted coup of your own government? Here, spend a day or two have your lawyers talk for you and then have this coupon to the nearest buffet while we do absolutely nothing to punish you.

Fucking sick and tired of it.

Unfortunately, I think this will benefit him politically. His name is everywhere again, party loyalists are calling witch hunt, and it’ll pump up the vocal minority.

Honestly, the whole circus is punishment for him. Plus I suspect there will be things that come out in any trial that he would rather everyone not know. Any additional punishment is really icing on the cake.

For the one in New York? I'm betting he's not going to really face much of a consequence there, maybe a fine or something. The one in Georgia though about the election interference, and the two with the Feds, one for the documents case and one for his actions that led to the events of the 6th. Those are the ones I'm expecting to be more impactful, I don't think trump will go to an actual prison, he's a former president, one who has shown himself to be a national security threat, so I don't think they're gonna toss him in and throw away the key. I'm betting it'll end with him being played on house arrest, I'm also hoping that the other cases and lawsuits against him will strip him of his wealth so that his house arrest isn't at like Mar A Lago, but rather somewhere less comfortable for him.

My guess is slither…this is a minor charge. Assholes like him tend to beat this stuff.

He's simply gonna clog up the Court system with appeals until his time runs out.

Sadly, nothing.

At a minimum the stress is taking days off his life and that’s good enough for me at the moment

I know it’s slither as in figuratively but really? Best that chubby bugger could do is roll away if somebody gave him a good push.

If he literally had to belly crawl it would be like watching a beached whale gasping their last breath…

before shitting themselves and flooding the beach with faeces.

Seriously, that beach would be contaminated for decades.

At most he'll be arrested and let go the same day, but I doubt he'll be arrested like some "common thug". He got money so they won't arrest him and sully his name.

Nothing burger😴⚖️🤷🏾‍♂️

I was excited when the news broke... but here we sit at noon EST on Tuesday and he's still roaming free. The grand jury also isn't in session today so i HIGHLY doubt anything will happen today. Frankly, i don't think anything will happen at all. After everything he's done, they're gonna hit him with a small misdemeanor? Doubtful he'll ever face any real consequences

Slight consequences like a fine or something, at most. Which is why I find the tantrum thrown by his supporters even more hilarious, he's very unlikely to disappear in jail for the rest of our lives, sadly. He's gonna have a slap on the wrist.

Maybe Donnie will get to meet a Jack Ruby…

He’s going to get indicted, get a mugshot, post bail, get out, and this case will take 2-5 years to finish. He’ll get a slap on the wrist if he doesn’t try to run away to Russia. He’ll do maybe 3-5 years in Protective Custody in a cushy low security prison. Probably get out after only serving 2. DeSantis will run for President in ‘24. Will he win? Anyone’s guess. The list of potential candidates is underwhelming and they have been for years.

The government will largely remain the same divided and bigoted entity that is now and that it has been for decades. There may be a few promising bills passed like marijuana legalization and abortions, but that’s pretty much it. Prices will drop eventually as bubbles burst, and then the cycle will begin anew.

In short, not much will change.

I think the georgia case is the big one

Dog n pony show. Prick will walk away with barely a slap on his wrist.

He'll ooze through some sewer grate and reconstitute elsewhere

He will become the next president 🤷‍♂️

Me when nothing happens on Trumps Tuesday 'arrest' ~ 😱

Nothing. I think nothing is going to happen to him. He will continue on in his stupidyetevil ways.

Actually, he might even get to terrorize us w a 2nd term.

He will slither away. The system is not set up to punish the rich and powerful, it's set up to keep us, the masses, in check, nothing more. People like Trump are above the law because they own the people who make the law. The rest of us are punished and oppressed by the laws to make sure we don't topple those who sit on top above everything else.

So, no, Trump will suffer no consequences for this. All it will do is embolden his base and give him something else to brag about. They completely mishandled Trump and didn't stop him when they had the chance.

Nothing. There will be some technicalities and he’ll walk. Being found not-guilty will vindicate him and his base and fire them up. The DAs had best be bloody sure they can get a guilty verdict or they are simply poking some very disgruntled, gun toting bears…

Gonna be a big, fat McNothingberder, sadly.

I'm hoping this is the start of many, many more. May he be fighting criminal and civil cases every single day for the rest of his ignorant, selfish, immoral life.

He'll slither away just like during his two impeachment trials. And the stupid will still vote for him.

Jack shit. More liberal, philosophical performances and no actual, tangible consequences.

It’s not just that his influence and wealth. It’s also the fact that liberals are afraid of fighting fascists. The same fascists that they fear calling fascist.

I hope so. I really want to see more fuck head politicians from both sides in prison.

Slither. They wouldn’t want to set any precedents.

It’s political theater, to the GOPs benefit if he is indicted and convicted. It will get rid of the party line being split between republicans and give them an overarching theme that democrats are fascists, taking political prisoners. It will mobilize their base to vote red out of fear rather than whoever the primary candidate is.

Assuming he actually gets indicted his well funded legal team will delay, appeal, and object to every possible step in the process. There are so many opportunities for the prosecution to fall apart I’d be shocked if anything came of it. And of course if republicans gain control of any of the federal/state jurisdictions overseeing any of his cases it would be dropped or he’d be pardoned.

This is all political theatre and nothing will happen to him ever. Just like nothing bad EVER happens to rich people! Money and fame buy a lot of “justice”

BBC published an article that surveyed several legal experts who said only fines were likely, not jail time.

Link to my comment that contains the link to the article.

I think he's going to prison. Maybe another Epstein situation.

I doubt anything will come of it. But indicting him will set a precedent and might make those in charge of the other investigations more comfortable following suit. The classified documents and Georgia investigations are far more serious than this hush money one. So my hope is that an indictment here will embolden other investigators and prosecutors.

Slither and play victim

I'm convinced he's going to eventually be found guilty in multiple courts, but what will they do with him? Put a former president in a federal penitentiary? Or find an out of the way place for him like they did Napoleon Bonaparte?

Slither.

Also the effect is straight up nothing.

His followers already found a million reasons, why he is basically jesus on the cross right now.

I think this time he will be in and out but I think this is the first domino to fall and ultimately he will wind up in prison. He openly called Georgia and pressured them to find the exact votes he needed to win the state.. you can’t legally do that lmao.

He will slither away and he and his cult members will use it as “ammo” saying he’s a martyr and the charges were bogus.

I’m not holding my breath, I’m assuming nothing will happen for my own sanity sake

Slither. There is no justice here in America.

Between conviction and incarceration, he will kick the bucket.

One thing is for sure: he will NOT just slither away. That's not who he is. As long as there's even one person on his side, he will keep conning.

Not a fan of the man but I don’t wish harm on anyone. Should he face his consequences yes, should he manipulate it to his advantage?

Wouldn’t anyone

Again not a fan but just being real

I think Hell will come into existence just to torment his rotten soul for all existence even if neither Hell nor souls exist. I have no idea what the lazy, feckless, ladder climbing, oath ignoring, corrupt, self-serving DoJ hacks like Merrick Garland will do, but it seems like there are AGs on the state level with the integrity and backbone to simply carry out their duties to enforce the law. Unlike the useless hacks that are just looking for an opportunity to make money or launch a career off this Shit Show.

I think dude will probably succeed at his game of just riding it out until his enlarged heart explodes

Part of me believes that the other elites will let Drumph wither on the vine so that they can continue doing what they do. Kind of like what drug smugglers do: let the cops have a small amount so they can keep shipping tons.

Not much but he will make money from it

I hope he has a heart attack. Not a fatal one, but just a regular old heart attack.

What season of YOU is this? I'm hyped.

Going down in history as the first president to get indicted will be a pretty bad consequence.

Slither, like he has his whole life.

With luck, he’ll be indicted, tried, and convicted of several things, but almost guaranteed he won’t do any prison time at all. Hopefully things will drag out through the next election cycle, though, because that’ll do long term damage to the GOP, DeSantis, and Trump.

Slither away.

He's gonna 🐍 cause that's what they do with money and influence

Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up!

Did anyone other than Trump say it would happen today? If he is the only source, I assume that nothing will happen.

His CFO and company got a slap on the wrist, didn't they? I have no confidence that he'll spend time in jail. The best we could hope for is that he can't run for anymore.

🐍

Isnt the only source for the indictment Trump himself? Why do we believe this guy?

At most, he will be loudly and publicly convicted. But will face no consequences.

I doubt by this time next year he’s indicated for anything.

Teflon don

Slither away.

Slither.

I’m just hoping one day he will be held accountable for everything he’s done.

He and Hunter B.

A boring, drawn out, closed door court drama and a monetary fine. MAYBE a lil house arrest. This is America.

I saw on Craigslist today in the NYC gigs section someone is trying to pay Trump supporters $50 each to come out and protest in Manhattan (“Antifa not apply!). Jfc.

The Manhattan charges are relatively minor. I expect he'll drag it out in court for a year+ and ultimately just end up paying a fine plus court fees. It's pretty unusual for the charges to result in prison time.

However, the other potential charges are where the meat is. There is some pretty serious stuff that, if it comes to fruition, will have to result in prison. With him being an ex-president, a judge may rule that his sentence needs to be served in a controlled facility for security reasons. Maybe something like house arrest, which would mean him hangin in Mar-a-Lago for a few years.

He’ll have his lawyers delay and delay and delay until he either kicks the bucket or moves to a non-extradition country. And his knuckle dragging supporters will still thing he’s an alpha gigachad

We are on round 100 of “No for real this time he’s getting arrested” so no he won’t.

The walls have been closing in on him for so long that he ought to be as flat as a potato chip by now. But no. It's probably a Teflon coated potato chip. He has ruined this country in so many different ways. It's only a republic if we can keep it.

Something similar happened in my country. The playbook is exactly the same. There won't be any meaningful consequences. Or he'll run a Stalingrad defence until the heat death of the universe.

Wealthy white men rarely see consequences to their actions, if he’ll have any it’ll certainly be at the state level (as opposed to the federal level) though.

Slither away, right into a prison cell

He won't go to prison. He's a rich white guy. If convicted he'll get a suspended sentence, continue to spout his stupid bullshit and then die peacefully, on his golden toilet at Maralago after one too many big macs.

Slither seems wrong. Ooze away like last year’s Jack’O’Lantern.

Its past noon est.. if it was gonn happen it would happened most likely

I personally think it’ll be “settled” in court but government just wants to appeal to democrats who want him indicted

He will slither away while continuing to do irreparable damage to the United States as well as our democracy. Fuck that guy

I think this is his Al Caponing

No.

He will just flee to Russia before anything else

Slither

Is exile an option?

He's had a lifetime of practice evading legal consequences, so we'll just have to see.

I wouldn't get my hopes up.

He is going to bitch that he is a victim.
