I prefer that he gets locked in syndrome for a few years. A taste of hell before he goes to the real one.
Personally, I'm hoping we can strip the family of enough wealth that they're all left destitute. Anything less will just encourage copy-cats.
Copy cats? Trump is the copy cat. The original was born in 1889 in Austria.

I'd happily settle for a massive stroke with aphasia and a droopy face.
How would we know?
Like what happened to that dude from Metallica's "One"

Saying this on Reddit would literally get you a ban. Wild. I love Lemmy.
I’ve seen comments removed for saying this here on lemmy. I think it depends on the context and the mod.

I mean, duh.
He should have dropped out when he was found to have raped someone.
Hell, he should have dropped out when the "grab them by the pussy" tape came out. How did that work out?
Go vote for Biden if you can, is my point here.
Walking into dressing rooms because they "just let you"
... of children.

Yes, but he’s not going to.
This article is a waste of electrons.
alternative title: career criminal should have integrity
Believe me👐, the best campaign managers have told me, everybody's saying it👆, they're, saying, "Donald, drop out of the race". 🖐That would be an absolutely beautiful election move. 🤚Just terrific. 👋It's true! ✊️Nobody could drop out of a race better than I could☝️
Not bad Trumpspeak, but you’ve got one glaring error in there. Any time he quotes someone, that totally-not-made-up person calls him “sir.” Nobody would dare refer to the god-king by his first name!

We’d like that. Something tells me that both people who read Washington Monthly aren’t going to inform his followers.
He won't. His goal at that point is to avoid the consequences of his actions and abusing presidential powers is the best chance he has for that.
If you think that the last election was a mess, wait to see the next one. Trump has nothing to lose anymore and will reach new lows in hopes to save his own selfish ass. He has demonstrated again and again already that he lacks the moral capacity to do otherwise.
I'm waiting for the whole "Our founding fathers were criminals, and we elected them to represent us, so what's wrong with me" type of argument.

Downvoted not because I disagree, because this might be the most pointless set of words ever written.
LMAO. That's not going to happen. I would love it but there's a better chance of snow in August.
Anyone remember Al Franken?
Al Frankens political career got fully William Wallaced in public view for nothing while Donny Two Scoops raised millions after becoming a convicted felon.
I hate this country most of the time these days.
Yup. And Franken stepped down for merely being accused of something.
Was he accused of anything other than a silly prank photo where he was pretending to grope a woman?

Does anybody remember the 1980's being the "Al Franken decade"?

The irony is if either candidate steps aside...
Their party is almost guaranteed to win.
If it's not trump, there goes the most convincing reason to get people to vote for Biden as president since 1988.
If it's not Biden, and literally anyone else who hasn't been openly pissing off his voters as much as Biden himself has lately, trump doesn't stand a chance.
If either one of these 80 year old powerful white men put the country above their own ego, the other is fucked.
But it'll never happen.
They're both running no matter what
Hah. No.
There is zero way that a different Dem candidate would win this if Biden dropped out. Zero. The MAGA goons alone would be hammering how much of a disaster they are and bragging about it all the way to the White House. And that's before you have to deal with the right wing media.

What?
You think they're not saying that about Biden right now?
No one that will ever vote D gives two shit what right wing media says.
But Biden is actually funding a genocide..
He is pushing for trump's border policies to be modified into the law...
And then all the things voters do want that he says he can't do.
Anyone not named Joe Biden doesn't have that substantial baggage, while maintaining Biden's biggest selling point: not being trump.
But regardless of who it is, rightwing media will say they're the devil. Which is why no rational person takes what they say into consideration
Anyone not named Joe Biden doesn't have that baggage by way of not being President at this very moment. Trump would have that baggage, for sure. So would any other Dem.
And yes, whatever arguments right wing media are using against the Dem candidate do matter. Outside the tiny, itty-bitty bubble of leftist social media, where people who actually decide elections live, that is a thing that happens.

And money should grow off trees! And monkeys should fly!
He can't. It's his only chance of staying out of prison.
Donald Trump has never once in his life put anyone else's needs ahead of his own greed.
He cut his own nephew off from medical care.

He should have dropped out 8 years ago. He didn't then and he won't now.

Grifter gonna grift. He'll use this to his money making advantage till he is forced out.
This guy ain't gonna let go of anything and will happily drag the entire world into the fire just so he has something to sit on while he burns. You, personally, are his absolute last consideration
It would be hilarious if he does get elected from prison. All of his meetings with foreign leaders would need to be by Zoom or equivalent, and that's if he's able to get special privileges to do so. If not, he'd have to do it all in a 15 minute phone call once a week like the rest of the prisoners. And he might have to eat Nutraloaf lol.
At least the cost of running Air Force One would go down to zero.
according to 538 he's polling ahead of Biden: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/ why would he drop when he's ahead.
Those are polls from before the verdict. We'll know if the conviction changed minds in a few days.

Why would he? His followers keep throwing money at him. He got richer because of the conviction.
Precisely why he won't
