He doesnā€™t wield the levers of power. Whatā€™s he going to do that will get him thrown in jail?

I guess if he specifically calls on his followers to get armed and storm the Capitol. But heā€™ll never be that explicit about it.

calling up governors of every swing state, telling them to stop counting ballots etc etc

As suzzer says, thatā€™s a very different thing when youā€™re doing it as President vs doing as citizen without any official power. I guess if he starts straight up offering them bribes, then that would do it.

He will have legal problems til the day he dies.

Unfortunately, when you get unlimited free legal services itā€™s not much of a problem

Since the Supreme Court has effectively given immunity to Presidents acting in their official capacity - and that pretty much anything a president does in office could be considered official capacity - if you think that Trump was the winner in 2020 (and/or 2024) then he might have immunity for an insurrection imo.

Back-to-back losses should be enough to convince the Republican party to stop bankrolling him but weā€™ll have to wait and see.

Haha oh man that would be the most incredible own goal ever. Most people just skipped right over the Biden comment and assumed Trump went from a comedian calling PR a Garbage Island to continuing the bit days later

Doesnā€™t matter. Heā€™s got the numbers. If they donā€™t fund him, he threatens to ruin them with a 3rd party run. They canā€™t have that, so it will be Trump as long as he wants it to be.

I meant he has numbers when considering only Republican voters only. Thatā€™s not in doubt, it is?

And he will keep committing crimes until the day he dies.

Heā€™ll be an even more demented 82-year-old in 2028, even his dedicated base will be less excited for his old man yelling at clouds schtick by then.

Sure theyā€™ll be less excited, but he can lose some excitement and heā€™s still got a yuuge cult. If you think heā€™ll lose enough to be knocked off the top spot, thatā€™s SSC level.

I was real uncomfortable with people counting Trump out four years ago. I thought he still might have some legs yet. But now that he is a sure loser I am looking forward to him running tin 2028 again. What could go wrong?
