I was trying to imagine what Trump would be like in jail.

[Kablooie]

He’s been able to give orders and be the leader his whole life. He’s never had to take orders from anyone, except possibly his dad, before. He lies and brags constantly to impress people and it usually works or even if it didnt he probably thinks it did.

What would it be like for him to suddenly have to take orders, demeaning orders, and not have anyone to brag to? The whole foundation of his being would be ripped out from under him. I wouldn’t be surprised if he went stark, raving insane, losing what little grasp of reality he now has.

[Sedona]

1. This instantly brought to mind this scene from Gaslit

and G Gorden Liddy.

[BigmanPigman]

3. I think tRump would pull an Epstein

before eating a rat.

[rampartc]

20. more likely to get a sweetheart deal like epstein's florida sentence

if it is one of those privatized prisons he can buy the prison and hire ivanka as warden.

i'm also thinking of the fundraising possibilities and the inevitable comparisons to mandela.

he is already in with the prison gangs like the aryan nation and such, but he will have to pay to be molested.

[vlyons]

2. a lot to imagine with that

being told to strip and bend over at his intake search
TFG without his morning make up artist.
after a mandatory 5 min buzz cut in the prison barber shop
getting his 1st morning meal of a bowl of oatmeal - no sugar
getting his 1st lunch - balony on white bread - no mayo
getting hist 1st dinner - chipped spam on white bread - aka shit on a shingle
his weekly communal shower with the guys
getting a work assignment
sitting on his bunk with nothing to do
big tears rolling down his cheeks

4. That's assuming prison officials would not include those sympathetic and thus deferential to him...

I'd imagine it would be hard to ensure ALL staff treated him like any other. Quite a few might think there would still be $$ in it for them, given Trump's manipulative history of convincing those around him to do his bidding.

Not saying it would be anything but an unpleasant experience for him, but I'm not convinced all (or even most) would treat him as any other inmate.

[JHB]

8. Not to mention the likely percentage of MAGAts among prison guards.

[vlyons]

9. prison guards being nice to him would actually be a bad thing

too many other cons would think him to be a snitch.

and in prison, a snitch ends up as a bitch in a ditch.

that being said, I'm really looking forward to seeing his mug shot. Won't that be a hoot?

[Novara]

5. I doubt he'll ever see a day in prison.

Oh, he belongs there and I believe he will be prosecuted. Likely convicted. But I also believe he'll cut a deal to stay out of prison. Maybe that means never ever running for any public office ever again and some sort of restitution (which he will never do). Or he will skip the country if it looks a slam dunk conviction.

It's comforting as hell to imagine him in prison but I bet it won't happen. Maybe I'm wrong and it will be a cushy Club Fed prison. But it won't be like the Shawshank Redemption.

[jimfields33]

7. I think at most he'll wear an ankle monitor at his home in Florida

It would cost a fortune to have him in a jail.

[Liberal In Texas]

12. I think you're probably correct. They will at the most send him to some country club confinement but

given the security problems will probably work out some deal where he is confined to Mar A Lego and not allowed to travel, which will drive him nuts, but he won't have to be in some hard time prison. Fair? No. We have two sets of justice in this country.

[Walleye]

6. He is terrified of being in jail. Even for an hour.

[Thtwudbeme]

10. I don't think he'll ever go to prison, even in a Maddoff like environment- but-

I do think he's going to have a "bad ending" if you will. His health both mental and physical are not good. We already know that he is delusional- and the very people that should be helping him are still just sucking him dry. Ivanka and what's his face don't seem inclined to help him age in place- they are distancing themselves from him as fast as possible.

Eric the Lesser really doesn't seem to understand what is going on. He would have done well to study historical architecture and get a job.

Don Jr. is going to implode somehow. He looks like a hard core druggie to me in his videos- that usually doesn't end well either.

No- I think that we are going to see a family go down the tubes. If I could write well I would already be working on the novel.

[Buns_of_Fire]

11. He'd hit the weights, of course.

In a few months, he'd be tanned, fit, ripped, and even more manly-mannish than that photoshopped "Rocky III" poster.

He'd become a legend among the other inmates because of the enormous amounts of contraband he could smuggle in, tucked safely in his mammoth glutes.

He'd start a new prison gang ( "The Plump Boys" ) and be a feared warlord within the cellblock and in the exercise yard.

He'd be the star player on the prison baseball and football teams, known for his take-no-prisoners attitude on (and off) the field.

Ha. He'd sit there like Jabba the Hutt and everyone would mostly ignore him because all he wants to do is talk about the election. The other prisoners do have standards, you know.

[MiHale]

13. Exile him and family to a remote Pacific atoll...

With enough MRE’s to last maybe 5 - 6 years, no communication allowed, monthly “wellness” checks by the various women in his life he “offended” …like Stormy or Hillary observed by a helicopter fly-over communicating by megaphone out the door…”Hey Trumpy everything ok?
Good, see ya later”.

[no_hypocrisy]

14. Not good

He’s a germaphobe. Jail is minimally sanitary.

Will hate the food. No Big Macs.

He doesn’t smoke or drink or do drugs. What’s he going to get for barter?

He’ll have to wear issued prison garb.

And perhaps the most frightening to Trump: A rogue photo of him in prison.

All that being said, RHONJ table-flipper Teresa Giudice seems to have bounced back after her stint in federal prison.

[BlackSkimmer]

15. Dream on. nt

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

16. He would have to join the Aryan Brotherhood for protection.

Get some nice swastika tattoos, shave his head, etc

[Kablooie]

17. If he shaved his head...

He could make big bucks selling snippits to MAGA fools.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

18. The cult would consider them holy relics, and put them in shrines

for his worshipers to kneel and pray before.

[kentuck]

19. If he were, they would all be in his cult within a week...

...because he appeals to the criminal mind.
