Mary Trump, a niece of ex-president Donald Trump, has been one of his most consistent critics. She has a family insight into her uncle that many do not. And her training as a psychotherapist means she tends to hit the nail on the head in her evaluations of him.
She’s always been quick to point out examples of her uncle’s fragile ego or delusional nonsense. However, yesterday he said something that she could get behind.
Appearing at a rally in Iowa, Trump said, “I am willing to go to jail if that’s what it takes for our country to win and become a democracy again.”
Mary reshared the clip, saying, “Sounds like a plan.” Others were quick to agree.
I’m good with this.

Trump calls prison a “jail” like he would go for just a short stop. Well, the rest of his life is very likely a short time.

He’s trying to make it look like he’s volunteering to go to jail. Probably to save face.

This is, however, the first real indicator we’ve had that he’s been made aware that he’s likely getting a jail sentence.
He’s finally saying #MAGA slogans I can get behind

Yup. Ok 👍🏻
Others pointed out that Trump ending up in prison had nothing to do with restoring American democracy.
Well no actually you’re going to jail because you’re a serial habitual criminal that tried to overthrow this country

Mary was not the only person to respond to Donald’s claim that he’d be happy to go to jail.
Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who is also in the running to be the Republican nominee for President, called it out.
“It’s a complete lie,” Christie told CNN. “He’s a coward. The last place he wants to spend 5 minutes is in jail.”

Trump’s legal woes continue to mount with each passing day.
Yesterday, a judge issued him with another gag order. It bars him from posting messages or making comments that attack prosecutors, witnesses or others involved with his 2020 election meddling case.
Judge Tanya Chutkan said a limited gag order against Trump was required to prevent “a pre-trial smear campaign.”
She said, “He must comply with his conditions of release. He does not have the right to say and do exactly as he pleases.”

I guess when you try multiple times to sue your billionaire uncle and lose every time you will say most anything.

So we’re all clear, you believe the ex president is not guilty of any of the current crimes he is charged with?

So we’re clear, you believe the current president is not guilty of any of the current crimes he is being accused of?
If so, please explain the tens of millions of dollars being laundered to Biden’s 20 different shell companies on four different continents that nine Biden family members (including his granddaughter) received from foreign entities.
Why would these foreign entities (many of them U.S. enemies) wire laundered money to Biden’s shell companies? What is he selling for all these millions? Widgets!?! What did the Biden’s do to receive tens of millions of laundered money to their 20 shell companies? No one seems to be able to answer that question.

nice try, liar.
her uncle is not a billionaire.

The article we’re commenting on is about the former president, not the current. Suffice it to say the former president has 4 criminal cases against him and 91 criminal charges. The current president has zero. If proof of a crime can be proven, of course I would support it being prosecuted no matter who the defendant. I don’t have a blind devotion to any public figure or politician.

She won the first one and based on a book about Trump and his father, she uncovered new information, which she tried to re-litigate. But the judge thought too much time had passed and that’s why it was thrown out–a technicality. So, in other words: no, she did not lose every lawsuit and Trump has not been vindicated.

Congratulations. Good for you.

Mary Trump sued her aunt and two uncles. The lawsuit was settled in 2001 with Mary selling her interests in the family business. Mary Trump released her claims against her relatives in the 2001 settlement over the estate of Donald Trump’s father, Fred Trump Sr.
In 2020, Mary again sued her aunt, uncle and the estate of her late uncle. In 2022, the lawsuit was dismissed.
In 2021, Donald Trump filed a lawsuit against Mary Trump. Case was dismissed in 2023.

So much interest in a loser.

I am very much in favor of Donald Trump going to jail.
Man About Town
For once I agree with Chris Christie: he’s clearly lying and will not be glad to go to prison.
Which is moot anyway, because no matter how many convictions get thrown at him, I can’t see him incarcerated; he’ll find a way to get out of it.

May I sugest that maximum security facility in Colorado where John Gotti spent his last years. Imo, the tangerine Palpatine will flee to a country that does not have an extradition treaty with the U.S. before he’ll spend a night incarcerated in the U.S. He’s a coward.
It will be interesting to see what the judge(s) might do to enforce their gag order(s). A typical criminal defendant might indeed be jailed for violating a gag order.

Anyway you cut it, it looks like the American taxpayer will possibly be paying to house this turd for at least the next 4 years. Could be in the White House or quite possibly the “Big House”.

@Openminded
Who? Joe Biden?
According to Politifact, President Trump didn’t take a salary. He donated all of his presidential paychecks/salary to charity.
